Also I love Pikiell. Runs a great program. Recruits well. His team plays hard and efficient. But I think his end game tactics are still lacking in big games.

Pikiell and the players were quite emotional. I like the great relationship between the coach and the players. He was great with the players at Stony Brook too.

Pikiell does a lot of things right, but still has problems finishing big games, and his teams historically are poor free throw shooters.
How old a Seawolf am I? I followed them during their Final 4 DIII hoops run in 1977-78 (they were called the Patriots then)

That was good for the CAA, but terrible for Stony Brook morale by reinforcing how Hofstra eats our lunch at everything we do

Vermont's just a 10.5 point dog in their 2-15 matchup against Marquette, by far the slimmest margin for those games. The 2-15 lines in general are pretty tight, but we've also seen 2s go down in the first round in each of the past two years.

Do we root for or against Vermont?

I’m definitely rooting against. Can’t stand their fans. And the how the school swept the Lamb case under the rug.

Furman wins with a wild ending…3 pointer with 2 seconds left.

If Charleston can beat SDST, they play Furman next. Great opportunity to reach Sweet Sixteen.

I feel like SDSU is just going to play bully ball in this second half. 22-11 advantage on the glass.

I agree. SDSU players are just to big and physical. There defense is solid

Great game, but my god, Charleston has forced so many threes in the second half. And not even ones that were right behind the arc; they're forcing ones from a few feet back. Despite that, they're still grinding away and down 3 with less than 20 seconds to go.

They couldn't really get anything inside either. But you're right. Larson did have two really bad misses – one he had to take that hit the side of the backboard, another at 53-53 that was so forced. Can't make five threes against that team.

I wish we could have seen them try to tie the game after the tough foul call on Scott.

SDSU defense prevented Charleston from scoring many points in the paint. However, they had no choice but to try and stay in the game with the three ball. They made this game competitive, with the top team in the Pack12 conference. Koodos to Charleston. They all plaid like a power 5 team instead of a mid-major team. This is something we never saw in the AE. Even though Vermont had a few years where they were excellent. Let's see if Charleston can continue next season where they left off.
