Game day -Bucknell at Marist 4 pm

[yankee]

Marist 6.5 favorites. Important game to hopefully energize and build the fan base. Marist statistically good in a lot of areas. However, 2 weak spots, 3 pt shooting and FT shooting. I think Marist wins, but more like 3-4 points.

Bucknell has a 7 footer, but he seems like a stiff as he only shoots 41 percent. He should not shoot well against us. If he does, something we may need to tighten up later on season

Bucknell has very good size for a mid-major. They can go 7’0”, 6’9”, 6’6”, 6’5” and either 6’2” or 6’0” if they stick with the same starting lineups they have used to date. Forrest, the St. Joe’s transfer, is their offensive star averaging 17+ a game. Forrest, Bascoe, Adoe and Berger all shoot the 3 very well. The Bison have a road win at Niagara. The Bison defense has been suspect. I don’t know about 6.5 points but this is Marist’s home opener and they should find a way to win.

Good start 19-9. Hitter by some 3's and good ball movement. Marist is more athletic than Bucknell

Allen in and out of the game today, but he is so freaking good. That pass across the key out of the double team to a wide open teammate for the three was just such a smart play. Super high situational awareness and IQ. Farris mystery solved. Death in the family and has been away from the team according to Dean Darling.

Harris having one of those shooting games.

[yankee]

37-23 with about 3 min to go. Harris 5-7 from 3.

[yankee]

Excellent half. 39-27. Doubt we shoot like that from 3 in 2nd half, so hopefully they throw it down low to Allen often and early

[oldfox]

Up by 12 at the half. However, it just feels really tenuous. Bucknell has shot so badly. Marist, especially Harris, has been lights out. So has the defense, especially on Forrest. I wish more of Marist’s points were coming in the context of the offense rather than 3’s. Just not going to shoot 60% from 3 in the second half. Daughtry, Salton, Price need to make their layups in the second half.

Great shooting by Harris, his best half/game as a Red Fox so far (not a PG, just a shooter). Nice half but I'm not comfortable. They ended the half kind of complacent. Really hope they can dominate this half! Farris is back, was away due to a death in the family. Max Allen has such great touch. They are doubling him. We have to take advantage of the open man & knock down a few more shots.

[yankee]

Really impressive performance so far. 54-31.

Daughtry atoning for his poor game at New Hampshire. Best defensive performance of the season……..so far.

[petagay77]

Really impressed by the ball movement and defensive effort/communication in this game. Building nice chemistry early!

Looks like they are doing what a good team should be doing against a team like Bucknell - you can get mad at me but THIS is what I expect and I expected it against UNH also

[yankee]

Great job redfox players and coaches. Good first game for the fans. Good defense, took care of the ball, dominated.

[petagay77]

NH had a much better team/athletes than Bucknell. And they made their 3 point shots. NH is a good team w good/new athletes. But I agree we should of won that game. Our defense wasn't good in the first half of the NH game.

Great performance
