Any thoughts on Rider? Saw them on TV vs Iona 2 weeks ago
Didn't shoot or play D well and Iona drove the lane and dished all night. They boarded well so we have to get after it on the glass. Hope the students come out in mass.

Rider scares me because they can put up alot of points if their shots are falling. They rely heavily on the 3pt shot. That being said they dont play much defense if we come to play we should win and we must win to keep up with Iona and Manhattan.
It's Not Worth Winning if You Can't Win Big |

They seem to beat up on the bad teams in the league. but seriously struggle with the good teams still in the league, as opposed to earlier in the season when they were awful and just lost to everyone.
09 pretty much hit it on the head, they chuck up 3's at an alarming rate, if they fall.. they can put up 80+ no problem.. but if they don't we should have the advantage. Rider kinda weak inside, need big games from Etherly, Walker, and Winbush.
Gadson can be a better Winbush when he wants to be.. but he hasn't wanted to be at all this season. Stewart, Penn, and Jones are the guys to watch out for on Rider.

Shane Walker boxed out a player and then dunked the basketball in a span of 2 minutes.
That is all you need to know about how this game went.
