87-83 win, in a tough and pretty impressive victory. Most surprisingly, Odunowo and Robledo with 15 (including 5 for 7 on 3 pters), DLR with 14, and Brown, the star of the game for his ability to get out traps on the double-team, with 16. Don't want to get ahead of ourselves in predictions for IL, but this is a very different team that could easily pull off some upsets. |

Plus we are up to a 15-12, 6-8 projection in KenPom. |

No Thompson or Tavroff—injured or sick?

Good question--but the game was so absorbing, I did not notice their absence. |

Actually, this was a bit better than that we "managed to squeeze out a win. . . ." We were missing our by far best rebounder at over 6 ribbies a game who is also our third best scorer, we were facing a very athletic and physically strong team, and one that had done pretty well last year. We played with poise throughout, we were prepared to handle an aggressive full court press, and we were ready to play a half of man D and then a half of zone, which FDU ultimately could not figure out enough to beat us. We were well prepared and well coached. I don't know what Blair's status is. He was in sweats on the bench, but he was moving around normally during warmups and no sign of any casts or boots etc. Tavroff was ready to go. I'm guessing that because the game was very fast, that was not his best playing environment. |

Is Robbie Stankard injured or just out of any rotation? And it doesn’t seem to make any sense to keep Tavroff on the bench if he is part of a regular rotation.

Engles used Arop Arop rather than Tavroff. Much less bulk, but as Dr. V said, probably a better fit for a much faster paced game... |
