This team just fights like hell no quit and that is admirable.

Tough loss but I really like what I'm seeing from the young players in our backcourt. Pettway and Onyekonwu have really grown quite a bit.

The lack of depth on this team has really killed it this year unfortunately. The basketball team, despite these struggles, is miles ahead of the football team.

any updates on tyler would be appreciated.  he went down hard, looked like lower back/glute.  if he needs to sit, then sit him.  his health is more important than a game.

there's a saying- "tonight's not our night".  turns out you can change that.  an incredible mental lesson for any sports team.

we took an exhausted, understaffed, pieced together squad, with transfers year after year- in a new conference no less, losing our best player to injury, and showed a lot of guts on the road.  guts that may turn an upset in a conference tournament- if we are lucky enough.  W&M couldn't miss a three for a while there, that was insane.

did we play good tonight?  maybe, i think yes.  obviously we were down 20 for a while but i thought the 2nd half was great.  rocco in particular, pettway too.
   
even when my theory is wrong, it's right.  minimize the low % shots (we started 1/9 behind the arc, hit the next 9/14); play good basketball.  offense wasnt really even the issue tonight, i think it was defense and hot shooters.

Toby O and Pettway are doing as much as you'd expect from them (love to see Toby with 4 assists today after 5 versus UNCW), and they were originally buried behind Clarke, Noll, Phillip and Frey on the depth chart. We were really snakebitten with backcourt injuries specifically this year.

Glad they didn't just roll over after going down by 19.

All that matters is that the young man is OK,  Landed on the back of his spine. Don’t expect sbu to be forthcoming on his health; it’s always a guessing game with this school.
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)

With the weird health stuff from earlier in the season (Frey Clarke) I would sit him for awhile. Season is lost anyway no need to worsen anything. Would like to give kudos to Policelli 4 years in the program and is putting together an all conference season.
