Are Monmouth home games on ESPN3? There's no broadcast information on the Monmouth schedule page and no indication on ours either, but it looks like last year they were. With hopes that the answer to that question is a 'yes,' are ESPN3 games always archived, and if so, are they archived promptly? (UGH...I have to go to a wedding that night!) |

Pardon my stream-of-consciousness posts, but according to this Monmouth document, it WILL be on ESPN3 after all. http://monmouthhawks.com/documents/2017/10/12/ MBB_... My questions about archiving remains. |

Don’t know if the game is on ESPN3, but I do believe that ESPN archives right away and keeps the game for 2 or 3 days. Also, word I have is that a Roku app is imminent for Stadium, but timely archiving may not be. At the moment there is no immediate archive, you need to wait till the next day. Seems they plan to fix this, but they do not seem to be in any rush to do so. |

Looks like just you so join us for dinner at 6:00-6:15. My bar tab dropped but my dinner tab went up. My kids will be with me and they are 13,9 & 8 so they'll be a mixed bag. Restaurant is lovely as it is right on the beach. Food is good but not fantastic. We'll have a nice pre-game. McLoones Pier House Ocean Ave Long Branch, NJ |

I am almost sorry that I posted it, but it is the truth. I think he is definitely here for at least a few more years. As I said on another thread, I don't see ND as being in big demand by programs like the better A-10 schools until he has proven himself more as a recruiter. In his first class - the only one to play a game thus far - he landed two players who have shown they can play and who might be All-PL candidates down the road - but not yet. The current freshmen look promising - but we don't know yet. And this year's recruiting effort is not going as well as we would have liked, although one commitment from the few offers still out there could turn it around. But thus far no Chris McNaughton, or Charles Lee, or Mike Muscala, or Cam Ayers, or Nana Foulland. He might have to land a player of that caliber to really get on the radar screen for a big jump up in job level and pay. I doubt that ND would want to leave Bucknell and Lewisburg - with its cheap cost of living and great environment to raise kids - to take a minor step up the ladder, say to the CAA or a weaker MAC program.

This is a confusing offer on the Monmouth site: "Fans who purchase a women's ticket to see the Hawks take on Sacred Heart will receive a free upper level men's ticket to the 8:30 p.m. game against Bucknell." They refer to the evening as a doubleheader, but the offer implies that it's being treated as two events. Does this mean they'll empty the joint between games?? http://monmouthhawks.com/news/2017/11/8/athlet ics-... |

With a relatively short time between games (perhaps only 30 minutes), it's hard to believe they would empty the place. Perhaps they sold court-side tickets to the women's game that are only good for those seats for the first game. Then the people in the courtside seats would have to move upstairs for the men's game. Just speculation on my part.

Just looked at the Monmouth site. They say the following: "Fans who have purchased a ticket to the men's game are encouraged to come early to cheer on the women's team!" That implies, I think, that they are not kicking anyone out between games.

Very sloppy first half. Team looks tight. Side note Arkansas is dismantling Samford 71-27. Arkansas was only an 11 point favorite. Yikes! |

I can’t watch but looking at the stats, defense allowing over 50% shooting while the Bison shooting poorly, led by awful shooting halves from Mackenzie, Brown and Thomas. And FT shooting is beyond dismal. Hopefully they find something in the second half. So far they do not seem to have corrected anything from Towson scrimmage. |

Nice comeback in the second half led by Thomas. Seems fouls were killers down the stretch. And Mackenzie, at least stat wise, did nothing to help the cause...actually hurt it seems. |

Gritty comeback but free throws killed us. Monmouth never missed and Bucknell shot terribly. Also a few shaky foul calls. Wasn't sure about that late call on Thomas and the 5 point swing at the end of the first half was awful. |

Looked like another bad call at the end. 10 missed FTs. McKenzie 0-8, no points. Zach had a great game but can't go 2-8 from the line. Let this one get away. |

Hate to say it but we are now likely looking at an 0-4 start. If we start 0-4 there would be no need to panic with this schedule, but I hope it doesn't hurt the team's morale. Hopefully we can pick off one of the next three |

This was one of the winnable games, so the loss really hurts. Ironic that Zach virtually by himself brought us back, yet his foul shooting cost us the game. On the positive side, Kimbal will probably never go “0 for†again. |

We arrived home from the game late and I was too tired to post my thoughts: 1. A lot's been said about the horrendous FT shooting. What disturbed me was the facial expressions, particularly Zach's, in the second half. You could tell he wasn't confident. I hope this isn't in the players' heads going into three games in which we're definitive underdogs. While I doubt (I hope) we don't shoot sub 50% again, I'm afraid this could be an achilles heel particularly since Zach is the #1 play maker. 2. Another disappointment was that, particularly in the first half, it seemed like no one really wanted to make a play. Maybe I should credit Monmouth's defense more. 3. While I expected to see Sotos play I was surprised how much he was in the game, particularly at critical times in the second half. I was surprised that it was "only" 16 minutes; it seemed like he was in more than that. I like his poise. His trey was huge. 3. Meeks came in off the bench early. He missed his first shot - a layup - which may have been due to nerves. He doesn't seem shy about shooting. 4. I expected to see Newman get a least a few minutes particularly after ND's comments about him earlier this week. We were mauled on the boards in the first half. Monmouth was very physical and I would be interested in how Newman would play if only for a couple of minutes. I also wish Sestina had a few more minutes. 5. OceanFirst Arena is really nice. I was told by someone knowledgeable that it was designed by the same team that designed Sojka. I like Sojka better because it's more intimate. While the seating capacities are almost identical, OceanFirst includes an indoor track around the perimeter and the one end is open - kind of like Kirby. The seating is much steeper; I felt really far removed from the action. One really nice touch is a Varsity Club restaurant/bar that only members can access. I was told that the membership fee is $175/year. 6. Finally, I was impressed with the spirit of the Monmouth fans - particularly the students. The game was well attended and the fans were really into it. They introduced several members of the football team, which is ranked #23 and the otherwise annoying MC (nicknamed "Showboat") talked up today's football game and encouraged attendance. At the end of the game the players and students sang the alma mater and fight song in unison (I'll bet King Rice introduced that; it's a long tradition at UNC). It's a nice touch that I wish Bucknell would adopt. As we walked out of the arena, musicians from the pep band continued to play ad hoc as they walked and there were lots of whooping "Go Hawks". It was a great atmosphere. |

Even from the tv feed, you could tell the students were providing a great atmosphere. We could use more of that at Sojka. Missed free throws killed us. Will be at UNC on Wednesday to root for a Bison upset! |

Was Bucknell the better team, free throw notwithstanding? Did anyone see enough to make you believe this team could beat some bigger programs? I couldn’t see the game but this sounds like one we should have won. |

I doubt you'll see Zach go 2-8 from the line and Kimball go 0-8 the rest of the season. It's a shame Kimball missed that last 3. The other 7 misses would have been forgiven. I'm still very confident in the talent on this team all the way down the roster. |

Got back late last night from the game. 1. I would like to thank Old Bison for a great meal. Your family is very nice. I can't wait to return the favor. Thank you! 2. A tale of two halves. This team was not ready to play in the first half. IMO, it is the Head Coach's job to get the players ready to play, but they were not ready. 3. The substitution pattern was strange. Why did the freshman who did not seem to contribute much get so much PT? 4. Conditioning is a concern. Foulland looked winded in the second half and it showed in the second half stats where Quinn dominated him. 5. Free throws . . . don't even get me started . . . UNACCEPTABLE! 6. Brown looked really good when he penetrated, but for some reason, he seemed to get pulled out of the game each time that he looked like he was starting to feel comfortable. (See substitution above.) The Bison need to learn from this one and love on.

Did anyone listen to Birdsong? I am curious if any reason was given about the bizarre subsitution patterns the first 10 minutes: 1. Nate Jones started, even thought Toomer was listed as the starter in Game Notes and other places and even though Toomer successfully started the final 20+ games last year. Jones played 9 minutes in the first half and then zero minutes in the second half. 2. Even though the main subs in the preseason were Moore, Sestina, and Sotos, an entirely different group was used first (except for Sestina). 3. O'Reilly entered the game at 14:08, ahead of Moore and Sotos, even though he didn't even play vs Towson. Had no impact on the game. 4. Meeks entered the game at PF at 14:31 and played almost 5 minutes - playing ahead of Moore. 5. Sotos, even though he has been clearly established as the #1 guard off the bench, didn't enter until about the 11:30 mark - long after O'Reilly. 6. Moore, even though he has clearly been established as the #1 SF/PF off the bench, didn't enter the game until about the 9:30 mark. 7. Despite the early subbing, the minutes for the subs were: Toomer 23 (starters' minutes), Moore 13 (would have been higher had he not sat for such a long period to start the game), Sotos 16 (would have been more had he not sat for such a long period to start the game), Sestina 7 (Thomas and Foulland played big minutes), Meeks 4:30 (despite being the first PF off the bench), and O'Reilly 2 (despite being the first SG off the bench). It would almost appear that a couple players were being subjected to bench time for some minor disciplinary issue. Who knows if it affected the outcome? - - - - - One other comment. The rebounding stats, if not analyzed, look one-sided in favor of Monmouth. The reality, however, is different. Bucknell actually had slightly better rebounding stats but they are skewed due to the large number of Bison missed shots, leading to Monmouth getting a disproportionate amount of defensive rebound opportunities. Here are the percentages of rebounds at the offensive and defensive ends, keeping in mind that the norm at the defensive end is to get about 70% of defensive rebounds: At Bucknell defensive end: Bison got 22 out of 27 available rebounds = 81.5%. At Bucknell offensive end: Bison got 10/43 available rebounds = 23.3% The stats were particularly skewed due to missed FT's, where the defense usually gets the rebound. Monmouth got 7 rebounds off missed FT's, compared to 3 for the Bison. If those rebounds are eliminated from the stats, then the Bison got 19 of 24 (79.2%) at the defensive end, and 10/36 (27.8%) at the offensive end. Viewed in this manner, it appears that Bucknell was the better rebounding team.

6. Brown looked really good when he penetrated, but for some reason, he seemed to get pulled out of the game each time that he looked like he was starting to feel comfortable. (See substitution above.) Brown played about 29:30 - which is a bit less than normal, but most of the difference was due to foul trouble. He picked up his second foul with 4:34 left in the first half and ND, like the majority of coaches, lifts a player who gets two fouls in the first half. Thus 4:34 of his 10:30 of bench time was due to the foul situation. In the second half, he sat about 3:30, which is normal for him. Sotos is already a steady PG and will only get better. He obviously doesn't have Brown's experience but he handles the ball really well and can get to the rim. He will definitely be one of the three main subs as the year progresses. Between last night and the Towson game, he has 5 assists vs 1 turnover.

Yes. Three players were late for a meeting and were forced to sit the first rotation as discipline Thanks. That seemed likely, given the strange substitutions. That likely cost Toomer and Moore 5 minutes of playing time, and Sotos 2 minutes. We will never know, but using weaker players over those 12 minutes might have cost them the game.

IMO Monmouth’s win was no fluke. They are likely better than their preseason ranking which does not account for their frosh. But we had one huge cog missing last night.. Kimbal. If he was anything but a complete zero last night we win. If he had a big game, we win easily. I think he is the key to our season. If Zack and Nana do what Zack and Nana do then a hot Kimbal means we compete with anybody. Otherwise watch out. |

If Zack and Nana do what Zack and Nana do then a hot Kimbal means we compete with anybody. Otherwise watch out. Agree. He had five wide-open three point attempts where he was set and squared to the basket. Missed all of them - and also missed the forced attempt at the end. He hit over 41% of those shots last year. Had he just made one of the five, it is a likely BU win. Add in Zach hitting 2-8 on FT's when he hit about 82% last year, and those are game-changers.

FT’s obviously a big part of the loss, but for me, the bigger part was getting nothing out of Kimbal. And speaking of Kimbal, i was watching footage of the team’s visit to a hospital last week and his body language was horrible. It was only a few seconds of video but his facial expression and body language said “Why are we here...I’d rather be anywhere else.†Meanwhile, Stephen Brown was smiling. Just a small thing but i hope Kimbal has his head on straight. He’s always seemed like a good guy. |

I'm no doctor and I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn last night but I did listen to the game on the radio. During both the pre and post game shows, Kimball was referenced as being injured. Pre-game, Doug said he was going to try to play, would have limited minutes to try to manage "the injury" which was NOT good, etc. He never said what it was, but kept calling it "the injury". During the post game show he asked Coach about the fact that he played so many minutes and Kimball being a real gamer that he must have begged to stay in, etc. Coach took a very long pause and said the he (Coach) needs to not let that happen again. That they had earmarked him for 16-20 mins. total and instead he played 16 in the first half. That he (Coach) needs to take a look at substitution patterns to make sure it doesn't happen again so "the injury" which isn't good, doesn't get worse. I am paraphrasing, but "the injury" was never identified and they seemed very concerned about it getting worse.

I only saw the first half and then my battery ran out with now way to charge it. I saw missed threes, missed foul shots, missed free throws, no real plan and quirky subbing. Jones starting? and we lost by one. I saw missed layups and missed NBA threes. We're good, but not that good. Any one of a myriad of fixable faults and we are 1-0. It didn't happen. On to the next game. |

A couple observations. When the 3s are not falling a team looks worse than they really are, and when they are falling the team looks better than they are. Last night in the first half they were not falling, but in my opinion we settled for way too many 3s from crazy long range. The offense was best when we got it in to Nana underneath where he dominated during the first. But, 2nd observation, in the second half Monmouth adjusted and I thought they pushed Nana farther from the basket and forced him to take many shots outside of his comfort zone. I know they say he worked on shooting from farther out during the off season, but it did not show last night. |

89 - my thanks to you for coming. Always great to meet another Bison...especially a huge hoop fan. Did go to Baltimore in the a.m. for my son’s AAU game. Glad to get Bison Fans contribution and well done to 137 for his conjecture prior to that being posted. I was confused as anybody with the personnel decisions, and that knowledge at least provides the required context. Winning is tough enough without unnecessary distractions and I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I am a 100% adherent to the philosophy that you “can’t let the animals run the zooâ€. Prior to reading the Board however I mistakenly interpreted it as a disregard of an equal philosophy that you reap what you sow and you have to earn your minutes. Although I still have concerns about our dribble drive defense at the guard level in the MU opener, I am much happier knowing that the staff and players are on the same page otherwise I incorrectly projected a world of misunderstanding brewing. |

I'm no doctor and I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn last night but I did listen to the game on the radio. During both the pre and post game shows, Kimball was referenced as being injured. Pre-game, Doug said he was going to try to play, would have limited minutes to try to manage "the injury" which was NOT good, etc. He never said what it was, but kept calling it "the injury". During the post game show he asked Coach about the fact that he played so many minutes and Kimball being a real gamer that he must have begged to stay in, etc. Coach took a very long pause and said the he (Coach) needs to not let that happen again. That they had earmarked him for 16-20 mins. total and instead he played 16 in the first half. That he (Coach) needs to take a look at substitution patterns to make sure it doesn't happen again so "the injury" which isn't good, doesn't get worse. I am paraphrasing, but "the injury" was never identified and they seemed very concerned about it getting worse. Not sure of the accuaracy of the report, but I am told it is an oblique injury or something similar. That is often an injury that takes some time to heal.

Monmouth lost by 20 to undefeated Virginia today in the NIT. Unfortunately they had to shut down Micah Seaborn, who is again having knee problems. He had 2 points and 1 rebound in 17 minutes - not remotely the same player that Bucknell saw. Seaborn played the last part of last year with a torn MCL, and also has a torn ACL and a torn meniscus in his background. If he is seriously hurt, that pretty much ends Monmouth's shot at a strong season.
