Cornish with 4 TO’s in limited minutes resulted in Boals’ benching of him, I believe. Latimer/Moor both outstanding freshman. And Big Jeff progressing nicely-the key for him is being able to stay on the floor. 7 blocks (but should have been 8; he got roped off on one in 1st half).

Overall, somewhat of an uninspiring win tonight, but again, got the job done.

That first foul was a total joke, and the second one wasn't much better. A real nice night for him. Sessoms had no chance to finish near the hoop, and I think he was totally dejected with the way we defended him. 5 for 23 is unsightly. His season numbers are nice to look at, but it seems to me he's only interested in the game if he has the ball in his hands – no movement without the ball, no energy on defense.

Any bettors had to be sick when Akwasi lost the ball out of bounds at the end.

Curiously no Chef. I was oblivious to it throughout the game and it wasn't mentioned in the postgame. His absence only accentuates Jeff's big night. Man, when he stays on the floor, he is a force whether he's blocking shots or not. He really allows our perimeter guys to challenge shots.

The 25 turnovers is ghastly, but I'll chalk it up as a one-off. Binghamton's D has given us fits before.

I thought Cornish had handled pressure well this season – far better than last year – but this was one of those games that really emphasized ballhandling and decision making against the zone/press. Like I said, I thought he'd done a nice job in all facets to this point in the season.
