Subject: Nice win vs. FDU

Good game on Saturday. Justin and Tristan were insane! That was a fun game to watch. If FDU didn't hit so many 3s it would have been a blow out.

Ingo played some real quality minutes vs. FDU and I read that Middleton played a little vs. Monmouth. Seems like they are both comming along. We also need more Sobers. He's gotta work hard in practice and get back in the rotation to help us with the big men.

The team need to play better D, but that has been clear for a few games now. I wonder what our last 3 opponents (SHU, Monmouth, FDU) FG % was if you took out their big man stats (Trim, Bunch, and Casario)?

Great games by the guards again! CCSU pulls out the win over Quinnipiac with Obie watching most of the game from the bench in foul trouble. CCSU is starting to gel into a really good team. Central (4-2) is currently in 5th place, but just 1 loss behind 1st place.

Next up: Saturday @ Mt. St. Mary's (5-1). Led by Landy Thomson, the Mount has won 5 straight NEC games (including vs. SHU and at Monmouth) to move to 1st place tie with RMU.

I'm considering taking the trip from DC to MD to check it out. What are some thoughts on this game?

[> CCSU climbs The Mount in OT -- J.J., 15:44:02 01/23/06 Mon

Caught the game in Emmitsburg on Saturday. CCSU was on fire in the first half, but then got cold in the second and let MSM back in it. Clutch block seals the game. Our defense continues to struggle, yet we win. How long can it last? Maybe MSM gets only 3 FT because they shoot 44% from the floor - we just don't stop anybody! We looked good, but we have NO inside scoring.

Sobers is on a short leash. He went in and got a steal in his firts few seconds on the floor, but then missed a easy putback and was yanked. Ingo plays OK (he was beat 1 or twice for a dunk), but they don't look to him for scoring so its like opponent is playing D vs. just 4 players. We will live (and die) this season by the guards.

And let me say also The Mount was great. They have a good squad that doesn't give up. Great crowd and atmosphere there too - almost 1,800 - not at all what I was expecting. The student section behind the basket was packed and very loud. A great HS pep band kept the home crowd in the whole game. That's a nice facility and program they have down there. With the kids back in class, lets hope Central has a good home court advantage in the next 3 games!

Great game, but, as you guys are saying, we really do live and die by how our guards play, which is risky. I know Sobers is very foul prone and can be sloppy at times, but I wish Howie would just play for a good portion of time regardless. Hickenbottom is a gritty player, but we need someone on the court who can disrupt shots. Sobers, Ingo, or Middleton need to step up this season, especially since Anderson is gone (even less depth).
