After the NY Knicks dismantled the defending NBA Champion Denver Nuggets 122-84 at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night Knicks backup guard Miles McBride was asked to reflect on his team’s performance. McBride answered “Everybody on the team takes pride in not getting scored on.”
For me, McBride’s response is the perfect mind set for the Marist players tonight. Arguably, Niagara is the best offensive team in the MAAC. They shoot a very high percentage from all over the court. Marist is the MAAC’s best defensive team. They defend the best all over the court. Niagara lives and dies with the three and they have been living very well lately. On the flip side they simply don’t defend giving up 72 ppg.
If Marist doesn’t leave their defense on the bus this should be one heck of a rock fight.
I read that it’s 80’s night at the Gallagher Center and legendary Buffalo Bills running back from that era Thurman Thomas will be in attendance to take photos with fans. Since Marist was decent in the 80’s I’ll take the scheduling of event as a good omen for the Foxes. Either that or someone’s desperation attempt of a game winning shot will go “wide right”.
The game being broadcast on ESPNU holds the promise of a wider audience. It would be a good night for the team to, well, look good.
Go Red Foxes!!!

Any word on the statuses of Brickner and Price? No official word that I've seen. Their most recent social media post during warmups Brickner is in the pics taking a shot.

The tough road trip. Are either team great? Nope. Let's win both. Hopefully brick and price back? Nisgara very efficient offensively, so we need our defensive depth. Let's go foxes.

Dunne in the pregame:
Max Allen "not 100%", "we'll see what we get out him"
Price and Brickner are also both active..."expects cobwebs".

Haven't been able to turn Niagara over enough. And need to get more defensive help inside on the drives.
