Rider MAACT

[latigo]

One book has the game a pick and another has Rider -1.5. Both totals 131. 

The first game SP 30% FG 14 fouls lost 62-57. Rider shot 44% with 16 fouls . Even on rebounds. In the second game, with James DQ'd early 2nd half, Rider won 61-56. SP again 30% FG with 27 fouls . Sow, Hogue and Randolph fouling out. Rider shot 35% with just 18 fouls. Rebounds 34-30 Rider. 

I think this rematch is gonna be physical, but hopefully SP doesn't have 27 fouls. I think SP finds a way to hit those point blank shots at the bucket this time. It's been frustrating to watch a shot in the lane rimming out and the put back missed. I don't see how 131 points will be reached based on the previous games. Normally, favors SP. Let's hit the point blank  shots, stay away from fouls and move on. Go Peacocks!

I like this guy's style. Peacocks now painted -1. Go Peacocks!

[youngalum]

Keep up the defensive intensity and make the chippies!!

I like the big lineup with Hogue, Washington, Sow.

I could be wrong but looks like Tanksley is in uniform?!

Let’s Go Peacocks!

What happened to Reid? Did I miss something. Think he sat for the last seven minutes of the half. Usual offensive snarl but our defense has never looked better. Houge making a difference. Sow electric on the D end.

Reid has two fouls.

And no Zeigler. At times, Reid was a little out of control. And Clarke? Hoping for a better second half. Houge was huge. Sow was Ndefo on the defensive end and himself on the offensive end.

My heart can’t take this! C’mon Peacocks!

[bluebird]

Houge was great with the block and his offense was great also .GGGOOO PEACOCKS!!!!!!! WIN OVER quinny!!!!!

[spc91]

Survive and advance. Way to grind out a tough one.

I was befuddled by the play drawn up coming out of our last timeout.

Is Zeigler injured? Got in late and was quickly pulled.

Post game Press conference. Starts 8 minutes into the video.

Wow, what a real nail biter! We almost blew this game after having a 14 point lead. Thank God for Houge who really stepped up offensively and defensively. That block at the end of the game was fantastic, plus we got the ball back.....HUGE. We left a lot of points on the foul line, but Reid made two critical foul shots at crunch time. Refs called a close game with some phantom foul calls. We will have our hands full tomorrow. Hope we are able to come energized after late night (9:00 PM game. The MAAC needs to schedule the games at earlier times.

Great win .Nice turnout by some of our loyal regulars last night.Houge was the difference in this game plus Clark and Reid hit some big free throws at the end. Gonna be a tough one tonight. Can't
double down inside against Quinny as their guards will kill you from three .Sportsbook projects Quinny 71-68 in a competitive game. Line this morning is Quinny -2. I expected 3 or 4 so we do get a little respect.
Go Peacocks.Will be there with Loyal pulling for the good guys.

Exactly. I didn't like using the last time out up 1 with 35 seconds left. On top of that, a desperation shot AFTER the timeout. My point is, you know Rider is getting the ball back and if they hit, we would love to have that timeout. 

Anyway, Hogue came up huge and Reid at the end came through. Clarke remains a mystery to me. He had a stretch, when Washington was injured, that he played well. Now, he looks off kilter. Survive and advance.
