Game 10: Iona College, Saturday, December 20th, 7 PM, NBCSN

Pablo,

I agree, it is counter to the standard strategy of insuring that a player doesn't pick up a 3d foul in the first half. But under the circumstance of playing "offense-defense" as it got closer to halftime, opted to go with a better defensive lineup (as you pointed out on another thread, Trey blocks a lot of shots and it's not hard to believe that Catawba would have a harder time shooting a 3 over Jackson than Holloway with the clock running out. Needless to say, it didn't work out

I think it's most telling that our "coach" felt it necessary to do an offense-defense substitution with 4 seconds left in the first half against a MFing D2 team.

Says a lot about where our program is...

Junior forward Julian Royal, another newcomer, will miss the game (and possibly the rest of the season) after undergoing surgery on his hand.

So, as it stands now, the Patriots could possibly have 1 player redshirting (Therence Mayimba) & 2 players requesting a medical hardship waiver to restore this year of eligibility (Eric Lockett & Julian Royal).

Just based on his size, I thought Porter should have redshirted.

I guess it is a good thing that didn't happen.

We probably should give some credit to Hewitt for his commitment to giving quality PT to Porter early in the season.

Greetings from Playa Del Carmen.... we will win this game by 5. Thompson with 20 points.

Um. Hewitt has said more than once they expect Royal back mid January.

Just to clarify, that was speculation and nothing more. Not based on any inside information.

Always be wary of a school with only one consonant in it's name.....

Lol I probably worked with you a few times.

Maybe we are starting slow because it's Christmas break. Nevermind, it's Christmas break for Iona, too. There goes that theory.

Complete lack of preparation. Hewitt has us pushing the ball and taking quick shots off misses.

Then they are getting 3 on 0 fast breaks. Just stunning a college team doesn't have anyone rotate back on D after shots as well.

Porter changing the game. Playing much smarter now...slowing it down some.

21-20 Mason.
