Good description -- painful but proud. Very different team than earlier in the season, needless to say. What happened? -- it looks like the big 3 got tired of losing plus the development of Much. FT shooting continues to work against them based on their shooting as well as the ridiculous level of shooting by opponents.
I hope that they play Akron vs. another game against USC as playing different teams/styles will help them in the Ivies. They may have a letdown tomorrow night but if they play well, it will be a very good sign as to their determination/intensity. Both Stephens and Cannady hit the floor hard several times tonight. Remaining non-conference games at this point and time are pretty much a lead up to game 1 at the Palestra.
On a side note, Monmouth has a 15 pt lead on Yale's home court. Yale played very poor defense against Iona the other night as the Gaels simply drove right past the Bulldogs.
