No injury to Mamadou, as far as I could tell. As previously stated, he got two quick fouls, was replaced, and things were going well as is, hence not much further PT. As Bridgeport stated, we were not in any full court trapping all night. This made Rider have to work more for their scores, and in my opinion was the most important stategy switch from previous games. Also, we played some combo man to man and zone at same time, which seemed to confuse the Broncs a little. The reason they scored so much is the foul shots they got, which stopped the clock as they were racking up the points. Although the frontcourt players didn't score much, they did play very hard in battling with Rider's talented and large forwards, and certainly should not be overlooked in their contribution to the win. That said, the guards, especially Terrence, Herbie, and MVS were unbeleivable in their shooting, and that obviously is the biggest reason why we won!

I would also add that we played them more straight up rather than using a lot of help defense, especially when the ball went inside. We only doubled down low as a surprise tactic, not as a Standard Operating Procedure. However, Todd's late game steal was off a double down low.

I also agree that our frontcourt players really battled, and I like that we fouled instead of giving up an easy baskets. All 4 frontcourt players were in foul trouble at one time or another, so while it doesn't show in the stats, I thought the frontcourters battled and made plays at critical times.

Rider's frontcourt tandem of Thomson and Muniz is pretty good.
