Well we got a w over d3 kean but there’s not much to celebrate other than the win. On defense we blocked some shots and altered others but cougars got plenty of open shots and 2nd chances. We were out worked and out hustled too often but we made some admirable loose ball efforts. On offense kean sat in a 2-3 zone daring us to shoot them out of it and we just took the shots they wanted us to take We were bigger and more athletic and rarely made use of either attribute. Washington sow and our more athletic wings should have feasted in the middle of that zone and only Washington took advantage. Clark seemed to have the best idea of how to attack although Reid was at last able to draw some fouls. Maybe it was the layoff exams or a supposed duck on the sked but we darn near lost this one. First time I felt like coach had a bad one and got schooled by his opposite number. A couple of the regulars joked around after the game that spu staff should have walked into kean locker room with an loi in hand for their guard alicea who torched our guards and wings all day. Better shape up before bucknell or bison will put a knot on our head

We witnessed our achilles today. It’s called ZONE. Not only can we not shoot from outside but, as Figgy alluded to, we don’t know how to move the ball against it. So bad are our “shooters”, I’d rather see Sow or Washington take the 3, rather than Bland or Randolph.

I hope Alicea goes into the portal and transfers to SPU. He's a very impressive D3 player who can hit from the outside....just what we need. I'm sure our future opponents will be throwing up 2-3 zones against us after viewing the tape of this game.

Honestly, embarrassing effort today. There is much work to do. Hope the team enjoys the holidays and comes ready to play against Bucknell. The Bisons are not a very good team but I don’t have too much confidence in our team right now.

Not much to say positive about a 3 point victory against a D3 school. Hope we can destroy game film before other schools see how bad we looked against a D3 zone.
