Jawan Carter had 29 and tore thru their great defense. It was a good crowd up there too. Next, its on to State College for me to see the Mounties! I do have to say that I have a better feeling after this game with QU. They actually impressed me and if not for a great individual effort from Johnson we would have swept the CT trip. Still great shooting and free throws again too. All that without even Barber, I am amazed that we are playing like this today at least. Now, on the other hand , I did not see the game, so I cant say much bad. If the Mount exhibits careless play Tuesday, you hear me tearing into them again. Regardless of how these softies feel in here. As you can see, I do give the Mount credit when it is due.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06542056025839045882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19698354.post-46246688622141694102010-12-04T18:50:18.687-05:002010-12-04T18:50:18.687-05:00JP:

They moved it around and it looked like they were in good position to drive to the hoop, with a basket or foul possible when several QU players crowded the ball handler (sorry I really can't remember who lost it) and stole the ball, with 3 QU players and one of ours running the other way. Their final basket was a given.<br /><br />I think the important thing about it all was how well we competed against the supposed top rated NEC team. Believe me, this coach is getting so much out of these players. Most of the game we were in really good control, doing things never done before - witness Thompson's shooting and the great FT stats.<br /><br />At this point in the careers of the new players and the new coaching staff, I say "job well done".<br /><br />But I really did want to celebrate.jab169https://www.blogger.com/profile/12353084404274305417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19698354.post-56218837520307450182010-12-04T17:20:02.656-05:002010-12-04T17:20:02.656-05:00Hey John, since it seems like you were able to wat...Hey John, since it seems like you were able to watch the live feed of the game, can you describe what exactly happened on the last play? I was watching the play by play and it said there was a turnover with 5 seconds left which led to a lay-up by QU. What led to the turnover and was it an uncontested lay-up on the other end?

Nothing but praise for the undermanned team and for the coaching. Guy makes 2 clutch treys at the end.<br /><br />We were 15 point underdogs away at QU. We played far better than that, but we did get away from denying Rutty and yes, I still think fouling him instead of ever letting him shoot would have been the best strategy, but I guess we need more players. Hard to play with 8 guys and the refs calling that many fouls.jab169https://www.blogger.com/profile/12353084404274305417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19698354.post-20625527713454573432010-12-04T15:08:16.400-05:002010-12-04T15:08:16.400-05:00Flat out the best half Mount has played perhaps fo...Flat out the best half Mount has played perhaps for several years. Barber absent, don't know if he is hurt?<br />Thompson doing it all. Great denial on Rutty by the zone. Heavens, they're shooting 60%. Keep it goin'.jab169https://www.blogger.com/profile/12353084404274305417noreply@blogger.com
