Congrats Bing! UA had a tough L, looked like a travel on the buzzer beater to me.

Freshman Jordan Reed led the way for the Bearcats with a monster double-double -- 17 points and 18 rebounds (12 on the defensive end).

Nice to get that first W. I think we're gonna see a few more of them this season!

Wow...that...was...bad.

Three points, then I need to take a cold shower because as a fan I feel violated today....

1. Sacred Heart is terrible. Terrible throughout the game. They have one good player (#12), and that's it. They played terrible, they defended terrible, they can't shoot, and they throw hissy fits every time they foul someone.

2. Thus, to lose to them - SBU is worse. We played arguably one of the worst games I've ever seen them play. And this is a team I watched lose to 1-win St. Peter's a few years ago. They have two modalities: Run short plays to attempt to take the open 3, or pass the ball around and take a desperation shot with 3 seconds left on the shot clock. Funny thing is, with how terrible Sacred Heart is...it was working for all but the last 3 minutes of the game.

3. This whole "pass the ball around for 30 seconds to drain the shot clock then take a terrible shot on a bootleg play" gig that SBU does when leading with 5 mins left...it has to stop. We are now 0-5 against terrible teams when doing it. We lost to Sacred Heart doing it two years ago. We lost to Lehigh doing it. We lost to Wagner despite being up 15+ at one point doing it. And we lost to Holy Cross doing it.

God willing - this team will learn from this, and start playing like their talent should let them play. Just no heart in that loss.

Canisus up next. Big next week for SBU.

First off....congrat's on the W !! Must feel good for the fans and the new coach.

As I am too lazy to look it up...what are Reed's height/weight? What position is he? Those are some serious stats he put up.

Aceinthehole

Very good win for Bing.

Catcountry21

Bingo! Yes, yes he is.....I love O'Day, but Reed is a beast!

Congrats on the win BTW.

Hes 6'4 guard. He always jumps ball to start the game and has won first procession the last two games. That is impressive to have a 6'4 player jump ball and win it every time.

farfromtheshow

He might be listed at a guard, but he's not: He's the kind of high motor, high athleticism 6'4" man without a position who tend to tear the America East up...

Last time a Bearcat had 5 or more dunks in a game: 2003-2004 season.

What I really like to see is a good frosh class in the AE. It seems this early on that there certainly are some good ones. O'day on UVM had a really good stat day yesterday. Warner on SBU looks good so far. Copper on my UHA team looks great to me. Certainly Reed on Bing. UMBC has a few guys. I am sure I am missng some others. Granted some do not even flourish until a ways into the season like Nwakamma last year.

Bingo!

Reed reminds me a lot of D.J. Rivera on the court.

Curious to what your definition of "terrible teams" is? The bolded I wouldn't classify as terrible

Urban Barrister

I'll second that!
