O putrid but also disappointing Defense really clunking it in this game.

Thank goodness the Dayton game is "Dollar Dog Night." That may preoccupy the crowd during that one!

Ew ew ew..
Very ugly... Ash needs to get the guys recalibrated heading into conference play..
Really did not like some of the decisions trying to break a very pedestrian full court press..

Really poor game offensively by the explorers. They were bound to have a game like this at some point. Doubt they have another where their 3 point shooting is this bad.
On the plus side, they just continue to find multiple ways to win. Their defense had lapses letting FDU get a lot of easy buckets but had a number a strong stretches.
Christian Ray and Croswell were really impressive today. More importantly, free throw shooting and shot blocking may be improving.
The team is 8-3 which I think exceeds most of our expectations. Best rebuilding year I can remember. Believe!

Pretty realistic game today. Young team missing their best outside shooter 4 days before Christmas against a 2 win team.
Let down was inevitable. What is great to see is the very steady improvement of Ed Croswell and the emergence of Christian Ray adding to a contributing freshmen roster. They won a game despite playing poorly.
Now we need to learn and play focused basketball every night.

They won a game despite playing poorly. I can probably count on one hand the amount of times this has happened in past years.

Big Ed with 18 and 15. Christian Ray with 13 off the bench. On to the next one. Ray had 15. Deas had 13, and was the only one to hit 3's and continued his streak of drawing a charge in a game. I'm sure you were planning to post that after your critique of him last week, and I just happened to beat you to it.

There was a Glory Days sighting today. He had trouble finding his seat. Explos won in spite of his presence which I believe is the best thing we can take out of this game.

Nice to see a lot of the 71er's. This was the kind of game that we lose in the previous regime. True, I sat in the wrong seat but I had a lot of choices today.
I am now officially a Christian Ray fan...As my father used to say: "Redheads ain't human..."

Makes it somewhat tough to gameplan us.

Good to see Ray scoring. He had been doing everything else well but score at the outset of the season. Now he is scoring and looking like he has made the adjustment to D1 play.
He had 10 rebounds against Wagner and was incredibly tough on the floor. Took the ball to the tin and drew an angry hard foul where the top of his head was bleeding at a good rate. It did not concern him at all but he had to leave the game. During a TO he calmly put pressure on the wound and waited for it to stop, got a little medical attention and he was back in. The guy has some serious stones.
