The dreaded fight your own teammate for a rebound out of bounds
Smith great rebounding guard.
I always dread the Boilers playing heading into finals. Over many years there have been letdowns against underdogs.85-66, Boilers. Did what they had to do, but there's plenty to improve. Trip to Lincoln coming up this weekend - need a good focused effort against Nebraska.
Gillis made a difference on D it seems. Hope to get him back soon.Defense still no where close to being upper shelf but luckily plenty of time to improve before March. Offense is incredibly mature for this point in the season. Luckily their best player didn't play or this would have been much tighter. Big test at Nebraska Saturday afternoon. Will be a fun one.
The defense could have been better, but Hofstra is ranked higher in kenpom than Minnesota or Davidson. They shot the ball well and that wasn't all because of poor defense. They made contested shots that many of the good teams we have played have been missingafter exploding to a big lead in the first few minutes, we lost intensity and were sleep walking thru the rest of the game. need to play with that intensity for 40 minutes. this is a hofstra team we should have killed by 40
solid effort by those 2From TKR & Furst, combined 26 pts, 7 rebs, 3 assists.
