We have parlayed the good win the other night into a nightmare of a first half. 2 seniors and 3 juniors should be more mature than to put up this kind of first 16 minutes on the road. 10 turnovers and 6 offensive boards. Good night. Have a safe trip to New York. You want to come out like that on the road against a team that plays hard and you will get that most every time. This team is maddening

We just witnessed the worst coached team in the CAA. Dawkins looked like he has never stepped on a basketball court before and Santa Anna just simply disappeared.

Why would a coach tell his team to intentionally foul the opposition when they are down by 10 with 13 seconds left to play? Very unsportsmanlike. Totally dissatisfied with this effort. Down 22 just before the half? I'm tired of this roller coaster BS. A team with all 5 returning starters should be more consistent.

Pathetic start. Period. Fought back. Too little too late. I’m tired of this type of stuff.

Big win yesterday up in Hofstra, despite 2 of its players having career days.
Congrats to Seibring & Thompson for breaking the career 1,000 pt plateau.

Couple things.
Yes. Great to get a win on the road and split the trip.
We got off to a quick start. The total opposite of Northeastern. It’s nice to see a veteran team play like one.
We shot a fantastic 48% from three point land. And overall 50% from the field. I really worry and get frustrated that we live and die by the three point shot. If we’re on we look great. If not, we usually get beat.
We were dominated on the glass. Specifically, the offensive side. We were out rebounded 20-7. That sort of spread can’t continue. That gives our opponents extra possessions. Gotta clean that up.
Lastly, we need more from the bench. We don’t have a scoring option to look to.
They need to clean things up and keep growing.

Yes, very nice way to close the weekend. Good contributions from several players which ended up offsetting the 2 for Hofstra. The offensive rebounds were again almost the death of us but we llimited turnovers and started well on the positive side. Good chance to get to 4-1 Thursday and then a real tough one Saturday

Very well played game yesterday against Hofstra. It's the closest we've come toward playing a complete game so far. Very proud of Meech and Seibring hitting 1000, Congrats to both. I got worried at the 5 minute mark. We let down and got sloppy. IMO we should finish games like those with a 24 point win rather than allowing the opponent back in. But that is a small issue. Hofstra is a very good team. So a road win there is definitely on the right track.
