We had the talent and beat them both in the 3 years before.

What did the two most talented players do to the team in Coach Witherspoon's last year? Who allegedly talked those two talented players into sitting out the season? What did all these talented and loyal players do to hold those two teammates accountable? What did all these talented and loyal players do to help their beloved coach stay at Canisius? What evidence is there that Coach Witherspoon would have been able to navigate NIL successfully?

Yeah but the Canisius bench played just 33 minutes to Niagara's 80. Tough to get more than 7 points in such limited and sporadic time. They have obviously made the decision to go with the five vets and a very short bench despite the infuriating cold spells.

I think shooting is going to be erratic, but I'm more frustrated with the post defense in the first half. Niagara got way too many easy looks inside and converted.

I'd like to see Oliver play more. He appears to be one of the better coached kids on a team that lacks so many fundamentals. He hustles and attacks the glass. He has a bright future and I hope it's at Canisius.

Rivarly losses really bug me. Speaking of coaching, there are many bad habits they should be able to correct at practice - on D, how about knowing where your man AND THE BALL are at the same time?...why force a pass to Ndjonga while he is "posting up" a foot insinde the FT line? what's he going to do with the ball there?... a veteran like Niblack putting up ill advised shots & not moving the ball...can the coaches design plays were Singleton gets open for 3's? Or at least remind his teammates he is a great long range shooter?...can we crash the boards after jumpers instead of assuming it's going in the hoop and drifting back towards half court?...boxing out all over the court on D. Long shots = long rebounds....on a fast break, how about a bounce pass ahead instead of an off target pass that was intended for a guy to shoot a 3?

Sorry for the rant. This team can be much better as we enter the heart of conference play. Go Griffs!
