After going up 10-1,Marist trailed by as many as 17 and never got closer than 4 at 21-17. Simply put the Peacocks controlled the whole game.
They did it on the back of Gooding's 23 points and as oldtimer pointed out,lock down second half defense on Schneider,and Bacon's 14 boards. The Peacocks outrebounded Marist 41-26 and shot a very good 29-37 from the line.
SPC also showed maturity and poise getting that key basket when they needed it from each of the starters. Hall was magnificent in a brief stretch of the second half grabbing three quick boards,three quick baskets and singlehandedly breaking the press(Hey Loyal,I bet Felecian is eating their hearts out)Costner also followed giving up his body on a charge by hitting his only three attempt.Ish chipped in with 8 boards in half a game.Getting the most out of what he has.
Dunne again was on his game with stopping any momentum Marist had with strategic substitutions and wise time-outs.
As has been said,bad teams find a way to lose,good teams find different ways to win.We are a vastly improved team since the days of Monmouth and Wagner.

Imaginative move by Coach taking away Devizin with Bacon too. At the outset I was squirming over that, but Bacon totally upset Marist rhythm as Bacon's length stopped drive and dish. Marist had no answer for Gooding's quickness to the hole, thus the fouls and layups. Team is finding ways to make big scores and stops to hold leads and stay either ahead or in games late. Get another big and a 4th guard (I think we'll lose one player to make the room) and we could be onto something. But don't get ahead of yourself, take one at a time, try to get better and see what happens

SPC is streaking and sweeping ; three straight times now gals and guys go 2-0 . WOW

Gals made it look easy breaking Griffs' 11 game away winning streak . Frosh Judson with 14 boards . Tania is just great leading all these youngins ; great career for us . Ali with really good game . All the players with great efforts , particularly on the boards . But saving the best for last , frosh Sakara House is a player , may wind up among the best in our storied women's bb history . And best wishes to our very pretty and very pregnant coach .

The guys also made it look easy .Akeem was just outstanding with the points and with solid floor game and defense . Traore , Hall and Costner with lots of contributions . And Ryan's 14 boards , 4 blocks and just such a great part of our offensive flow . First team all-MAAC ? He belongs right there in the discussion .

I'll just add one thing . The box score makes it look we played away game . There is NO way we only had 8 assists in that game .

Agreed, I counted many more even though many of our timley passes resulted in foul line shots, not made baskets.

1. Great game by Akeem Gooding. He was just too quick and too athletic for Marist, who had no one who could keep up.

2. Great defense on Ryan Schnieder. A mix of players took him on, especially Gooding, Ish and Kabongo (nice!). Even Nick did a nice job staying with him on the occasions where he was caught in a switch.

3. Wesley Jenkin's floating jumper moving across the paint. What a sweet shot. It will be deadly over the next two years.

4. My favorite play of the game: Ryan Bacon absolutely swatting Schenider in the last minute. In garbage time, Schneider drove the lane, looking for a "gimme" two to pad the statbook. Ryan stayed with him the whole way and rejected the ball out of bounds. That's 40-minute defense. No one gets easy buckets, not on our court. Never.

two thumbs up on the whole post , but I particularly liked # 4 . How lucky we are that the the staff recruited Ryan and that he chose SPC . and your last three sentences are so key to the big advantage that the home court can be in college bb . If we do that and the offensive improvements continue , we say to every team that their winning at Yanitelli ain't ever gonna be easy .
