Mid-Majority G!O!T!N! (sort of) -- Stagophile, 12:27:32pm 01/10/06 Tue, [1]
I didn't realize that Fairfield had the 9th worst defense in the country. :-( A dubious distinction that must be reversed tonight!
Game! Of! The! Night!
www.midmajority.com
After every Manic Monday is a Tragic Tuesday. Last season, I'd often conveniently forget to tab a G!O!T!N! on Tuesdays, and only one or two of the 25 regular readers cared. But now that The Mid-Majority is the number one site with D1 assistant coaches and sports information directors, godda do it daily.
But because I'm Mr. Brightside, I like to use this light day to point out teams and players that don't regularly get the pub. Sure, Fairfield (3-8, 1-2) and Rider (4-7, 0-3) will likely be playing on first round Friday at the MAAC tourney in Albany, but they're both intriguing collections of awkwardly-matching parts. Senior Stags forward Dewitt Maxwell (15.5 ppg) is returning from a semester in the spanking machine after a team-rules violation, and Terrence Todd is a streaky little three-point shooter. On the Rider side, they;ve got a pair of Thompson gunners (Jason and Lewis) and distribute well (MAAC-best 60.6% assisted-basket percentage)
But if there's anything these two squads have in common, it's horrible defense: Rider has the 268th most efficient D (104.0 raw rating), and Fairfield's is ninth-worst in the country (111.2, 324th). If either team scores 100 points, everybody wins a chalupa.

Need to play the Best defensive line-up -- JoeStag, 12:54:39pm 01/10/06 Tue, [1]
Our Defensive woes have to be reversed....... whatever it takes. The problem is so bad right now, that we have to solve that problem first, even though it might might hurt other parts of our game. I would recommend we put the best defensive teamout on the floor to set the tone for the game. I think that would be
2G: Bell
SF: Mamadou
PF: Maxwell
CC: Middleton
The PG position I would not know who to take, but would go with Todd since we need his ballhandling , and he as at least proved to be effective in our prior defensive teams. IMO, Basketball is the sport where defense counts the most, but probably gets the least amount of accolades. IMO, the early season focus was on our open offense, and I was thinking that we could win with that. And even though MOS was the key to that offense, I thought we could win "differently"...... not the case. I feel TOT has gone away from his basic principles of playing defensive players...... we need to get back to that philosophy and make that the #1 Priority...... starting tonight
Rider has Thomson who is long and about 6-9. Middleton needs to get minutes and needs to some defense for us to win.
