B.S. call. Croswell was in perfect position and it should've been a charge.

[victoriouslasalle]

if we lose we choked this game away from the foul line. Getting to be too much of a habit

Gotta hate the home town call with that obvious charge. .

[calsufan]

Make both FT's please Pookie.

[blueandgold]

Anderson Varejao bailed us out by jacking a 3 with 13 seconds on shot clock, giving us ball back with 29 secs to go.

[victoriouslasalle]

Saul put your big boy pants on please

[mikesmd77]

Nice win! Bring on the hawks.

[calsufan]

Very nice game. It wasn't pretty but they were able to grab a win on the road against a decent team.

[explorer88]

Good win. Getting better and better.

[victoriouslasalle]

Gotta love it! Allright!

[blueandgold]

4-4 in A10. Won 6 of 10. This was also by itself the kind of win you really enjoy seeing. We were down 9 multiple times in second half on the cusp of letting it slip away, buckled down with max effort on D and the glass, and pull out the 8 point W.

Side note: use code BELIEVE10 on ticket site to get $10 off for Tuesday’s match against Saint Joseph’s of Pennsylvania if you have not gotten tickets already. I’m looking forward to being there!

[las71]

Up to .500 in the A10 with 3 road wins. Believe!

[GlitterBro #2]

Croswell's offensive boards in the second half were huge in changing the momentum. His last couple of games have been huge. He should give us a great 4 years.

[milkoliverwurst]

So after an 0-10 start we are 6-4 in our last 10 games. I'd call that progress.

[GlitterBro #2]

Can't remember the last time we won 3 straight A-10 games. Let's make it 4 on Tuesday.


EDIT: - looked it up...last time we won 3 A-10 games in a row Jan 19, 2017 when we had 5 in a row, and then fell apart for the remainder of the season

Excellent win! Sure makes up for those awful commericals, over and over and over again. Especially that one with Kay diamond. Makes me want to not go there.

[walkon]

Great win on the road! Huge effort by Croswell. The refs tried hard to give it away! Believe beat SJU! 

[ltrain38]

I realize the conference is awful this year, but we're definitely seeing improvement. Beat St. Joe's.

SJU barely squeaked by the worst team in the league at home. Hawks are toast! WTF do the Hawks always seem to play us on MRS Hykos' bday, so I can't come to the game??

[luhoopsfan]

I will 100% agree that I was on some very shaky ground with this team and coach in early December and openly questioned if this was the “worst team ever”.

To say the team is improving is an insult to them. This team has turned a corner and made a step up and forward.

Really proud of the effort, commitment and belief these guys had when people like me questioned everything about them.

Well done.

Croswell and Kinbrough are going to be a big problem for A10 opponents for years to come. They are going to be the kind of guys other teams feel like have been in the league for 7 years.

Co grays to all of them.

35-30 Spiders at the half.

Explorers letting Gilyard do whatever he wants. Have to shut him down or they are walking away with a loss.

I missed the whole game. Reading the AP recap on Philly.com, Gilyard was held to 3 points in the second half.

The Spiders only scored 5 points in the final 7:27 of the game. Needless to say, someone made some excellent defensive adjustments at half time.

The shitty recap doesn't mention Ed's strong game.


Looking at the boxscore, which I know doesn't tell the whole story, but I find this interesting. Ed had 9 points, 16 rebounds and 1 foul in 29 minutes. Miles and Jared combined for 8 points, 10 rebounds and 8 fouls in 33 minutes. Would love to watch the replay and see where the foul disparity comes in.

So it’s almost like I’m being sarcastic about the half that needed wins to not freak out?

A half dozen people fired the first new coach in 15 years after 10 games.
