UML on their way to putting 100+ on Bryant

Excess Hubris, like the Wu Tang Clan, is nothing to F with.

Bryant really thus far is....just not that good.

Individual portal kids not really matching their hype, they are not good defensively, generally have poor shot selection (you want to take 25 ft catch and shoot 3s early in the shot clock after one pass from the PG like 3-4 trips in a row? Go ahead), and seem to have the least amount of depth in the conference.

I see them quite a ways behind both UML & UVM right now. Maybe they improve in Feb-will see

Not sure what to make of Binghamton r n. 4-2 but just lost by 20+ to Maine and needed OT to beat NJIT, but crushed NH by 18 and beat UML by 1.

Bizarro. But, that being said if they beat UVM this week and move to 5-2 they have to be considered solidly for real.

UML has really impressive depth, I think. Probably most talented team in the conference overall, too. Going to be different for them in the captain's seat, however.

Bryant is supposed to be the other contender and didn't even look to me like they were playing the same sport, let alone on same level.

Here's an example of where Bryant might be playing both man and zone...thus, aren't playing either one:

(Yeah, I'm cherry-picking one play from when they were already down 23, but I saw this pop up and WOOF)

Looks like a 7th grade basketball team standing around in a Zone. But like, the D4D5 C team and not the D1 A 7th grade team.

Exactly, the raw material is there. Their failure to meet expectations, in on Grasso.

I'm sure as with most things there's multiple explanations, but when your coach acts like the hardest hardo around, it's pretty obvious where blame will get pointed when your team plays the softest/laziest defense most anyone will ever see in D1.

Edert is not same player he was last season at St. Peter's, just look at his shooting numbers. I think I saw he came off the bench last game as well.

Timberlake is on this 3rd college basketball team and while obviously talented offensively, don't see much more than a second team AE player at this point.
