Tough one to swallow; we might lead the country in moral victories. It would have been nice to have gotten one of these scalps, particularly UConn or Providence just as something to hang our hat on regionally. Either would certainly resonate more with boosters, fans, recruits, etc. And if we got two of them? Then we're being discussed like Monmouth has been the past couple years – small school but with some teeth.

Just some costly errors down the stretch in yesterday's game. It unraveled quickly once they hit us with the press. I expect we'll see a lot of that this year; it was useless against Woodhouse but not this year.

Man, if Akwasi had squeezed that rebound late, we'd have been down one with the final shot. Instead, a steal and a Sekunda foul (on a great effort play mind you). A real nice tip-in by Ty on the Cornish miss to tie it though. Ty's peaks and valleys are unlike any player I can think of in the past.

COB, we actually did make our free throws in this one! 6 for 8! But they were 18 for 25. That disparity is a product of our lack of inside presence and inability to get to the rack outside of Cornish. The kid Ashton-Langford is going to be really good for PC the next three years – he penetrated with ease and filled in nicely for Cartwright.

Akwasi up to .432 from three, and Sekunda's at .500. Two big weapons who we need to feed.

On another topic, we are currently fifth in the America East in attendance.

Vermont 2,814
Binghamton 2,506
Albany 2,462
Hartford 1,466
Stony Brook 1,440

That's abysmal, guys. Last year, we finished at 3,221 per game, or more than double what we're doing now. I know the students will come out for the conference games, but any explanation that you can think of otherwise?
