I agree about Binns. Very disappointing performance by him and I was puzzled by how much he was used and why Greene didn't play more.

At the same time, I'm absolutely delighted by the progress shown this year. If any Fordham fan was told in October that we'd finish the year w/ 13 wins, 8 A-10 wins, an A-10 tournament win, and wins over Richmond, Xavier, and Temple, they would have been delighted, and so tonight, while disappointed, I'm delighted by a terrific season.

I agree w/ JoltinJoe, for the first time I can remember, I'm sorry the season is over. Our program is coming together and our fans are coming back. There was a nice crowd @ Armstrong's tonight (around 50) and the place exploded when J-Rock got us back to w/in 6. Also, there was a terrific and heartfelt applause when they showed Dunston leaving the game. A great player, and better than that, a good kid.

There's a lot to look forward to w/ the natural improvement of freshmen who become sophomores and the addition of 5 new players next year. It will be interesting to see what they bring.

Unfortunately, we say good bye to Mushon -- a warrior in maroon who saw some dark days here at Rose Hill and showed nothing but class and heart. Mushon is a true Fordham man. Thanks for sticking w/ us for these years and giving your all.

bfg, sorry I didn't get a chance to introduce myself tonight, will make a point to do so next time. I was drinking stout all night, as promised. And a big thank you to the big Mush for his three years here and a big boo to the NCAA rules that denied us a fourth. (NT) -- Ram '91, Thu March 10, 2005 21:51:41
- Ram'91, does that mean if Dunston had a huge game against Duquense, you would have been eating donuts all night? (NT) -- JoltinJoe, Fri March 11, 2005 13:43:01
  - You say that as if that wasn't already the usual case. Just glad it wasn't Greene. I hate vegetables. (NT) -- Ram '91, Fri March 11, 2005 16:18:04
    - Though a little Chilean sea bass wouldn't have been bad. (NT) -- Ram '91, Fri March 11, 2005 16:19:03
Absolute props to Mushon. He was our warrior and I wish he had another year so he could be an important role player for us, but those are the breaks. We need to shore up the middle, fast. We got Murdered in the Middle tonight. (NT) -- Belmont Juice, Thu March 10, 2005 21:56:27
Nice reflection on the season bfg. Mushon might not have been the most talented guy on the floor, we realized that, but the guy gave us 110% each night and left his all on the floor. Thank you Mushon and good luck with whatever you choose to do. (NT) -- Air Hej '02, Thu March 10, 2005 22:48:04
Well said, bfg. No one would have blamed Mushon if he packed his bags and went back to Israel, but he stuck it out. He's a class act and a credit to college basketball. He is what college athletics should be about - a hard worker and a terrific student. Thanks, Mush, and best of luck. (NT) -- Ram'83, Fri March 11, 2005 09:36:16
- And a big "THANK YOU" to Ryan Carr, a four year walk-on. It could not have been easy for him but he persevered. All the best, Ryan. (NT) -- Joe S. ' 58, Fri March 11, 2005 10:10:56
  - Amen (NT) -- bfg, Fri March 11, 2005 10:25:28
