Just Riley.
Re: Princeton
Little run. Down to 10 at 4 min TO. Princeton now cold from 3 with better D. Hens, Davis getting to the line.
Re: Princeton
OMG. Can win this thing after three very long 3s from Drumgelmore in 30 seconds.

Re: Princeton
Love the effort and the comeback. Some really questionable calls at the end. That was not a charge on Davis. Glad we made it close at the end with a full house. Now we need to get over the hump and win one of these big games at home.

We didn’t give up is the best I’ve got for that one. Middle of the game slump killed us.Red Rooney wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 4:08 pm Love the effort and the comeback.

Re: Princeton
UNCG was clearly better than us; the other 4 losses got away from us. Dave has been saying it all season and today Bethea would have been the difference as well. Let's make some noise in conference play.
Re: Princeton
I’ll give you GW, Ohio, and Rider, but Princeton is better than we are. They went to the Sweet 16 last year for a reason. Much more disciplined, better shooters, and better defense. They are 12 and 1 for a reason.
No disrespect to Dave, but everyone and their sister has been talking about the need for better outside shooting. I guess we can keep praying for a late Christmas present in Bethea, but with each passing day that seems less likely. This team may need to figure it out with what we have, including getting more time for Drumgoole and Houser.

Pretty much. And it actually makes it worse for me that the Hens let 4 games “get away from them”. It just happens too much. Hopefully there are some good surprises in the final CAA season. Finally, this waiting for Bethea is starting to look like another bailout for another potential disappointing season for MI. And if folks don’t know, Bethea made a grand total of 35 3’s last year and averaged 10.7 ppg in 28 games for a lousy team. With this teams shooting woes, he will surely help some. Be he will likely be far from a God send, when and if he does play,
Re: Princeton
I don’t think we need a god send only another reliable three point option. If that is Bethea, great. If Drumgoole gains more consistency from the outside we will also be better off.
During the Rider game every time Reilly came off a pick or even came near the ball the Rider coaches were screaming “shooter, shooter”. No shouts for any other player.
I think Princeton was a “2 points” better team than Delaware yesterday. Their discipline, shooting, and defense broke down a bit in the second half.
During the Rider game every time Reilly came off a pick or even came near the ball the Rider coaches were screaming “shooter, shooter”. No shouts for any other player.

Re: Princeton
Agree. We are missing a 2nd long threat. No one has to be Nate Darling; just capable of knocking down 4 or 5 threes a game. Reilly keeps drawing the best perimeter defense and shutting down our long range game. And giving up 80 points a game exasperates that issue as well.mpwerrell wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 2:49 pm I don’t think we need a god send only another reliable three point option.

Re: Princeton
This Team is no better than 10-8 in the CAA, told Dave so at the game Saturday.
I hope I am wrong!!!
I won't even go into all the issues and there's a few. I'll let everyone decide for themselves what they are.
And if we find a guy who can make 4-5 three's a game, we will win the CAA cause let's see, Curry, Thompson, Bane, Doncic, Lillard. That list is very short at any level. I know there talks on here about adding Houser to that list................

Re: Princeton
Never mind the CAA…we find a guy who can hit 4 or 5 threes per game and we may be headed to the Final Four…
