Skerry said on FLO that the absences were injury related...

Nick missing that layup cost Holden an assist!

Would LOVE to see a triple double!

holy shit, who is this team! So unselfish and patient...

Cam Holden is a stud.....Our best player since Bennimon....

can you get the word on Gibson (injury)? if possible? I was not able to watch the first half- did we press? Hicks with 4 steals in the first half - amazing. He has a decent chance to make the all defense team as a true freshman.

I'd love to see us bring back Waddell, but I don't see that occurring. Do you have the backstory, Matt?

Mark is one hell of a player - you should be very proud of him! I was super pumped he chose to play at Towson and he didnt disappoint. Best of luck to you both!

So on the Albany message board a poster described the game as follows..... "This game was a team with solid ball movement and passing vs. a team that tries to play NBA style one on one. We had a player make a move to the hoop and the rest of the team stand around the arc. No boxing out. No communication. At least 3 steals from a Towson player coming from behind. Cold shooting. Really nothing went well. " We've always been that one on one team under Skerry. This was a refreshing read....Sure hope we continue the unselfish style of play....That team last night looked special....

The team looked great. Unlike any Skerry team in recent memory. Great ball movement. Skill on offense. We had 5 guys on the floor who could score - when was the last time we could say that? Love the transfers: Nolan was a floor general, well rounded set of skills Rizzuto, loved his controlled drives to the basket. Holden is awesome. He's a mini-Benimon, incredibly well rounded and I think he will be something special Hicks was sensational on defense. Lightning quick. Exciting to have what appears to be a high impact freshman. With playing time he will have a chance to lead the CAA in steals. Gibson looked great and will be poised for a big year. Last year defenses could single him out as no one else could shoot. This year he'll get his share of open looks. CT and Paar will be key cogs up front....CT should also have a big year. Credit to Skerry and his staff for bringing in high quality talent via the portal and finding a potential gem with Hicks.... I hope the elusive Curtis Holland can play this year - we would benefit from having one more shooter!

That's not the team that showed up - 15 assists, 10 steals, and great chemistry....Towson could have won by 40. Finally a team that is not solely responsible for offensive rebounds to win

Man...The CAA should sign Queens College then to boost our basketball profile! Our commissioner is clueless. MW would make a perfect commissioner!!

that blowhard from the caa zone days, Ben Moore (GStateBen), seems to think that Georgia State will be getting an AAC bid, he won't be happy that GSU, who also sucks at football, will be hanging around in the sun belt...

I think it's hard to make a reliable projection with so many transfers joining the conference. That said, it's depressing to see these projections. Any updates on Curtis Holland? He seems to have quite a bit of upside, and the other transfers *should* bring more talent to this team than we have had in recent memory.

have we gotten a face off guy yet? love adding more offensive fire power!

Does Vad lee have any eligibility left?

too cryptic for me to figure out......

For so many years we have started offensive stiff's. Guys that played hard, but could not contribute offensively. Skerry loved these "junk yard dogs," but it held us back. Starters like Eddie Keith, Alex Thomas, Deshaun Morman, Brian Starr, Kris Walden (PK recruit), Victor, Parker-Rivera, McNeil, Tunstall....i could go on, but you get my point, most of these guys were offensive liabilities, but they were "Skerry guys." Look at this line-up and try to find an offensive dud....The top 3 were all-conference guys and Gray had good years w USD. CT is talented and young. He'll benefit from having skill around him. Holland and Gibson off of the bench? Gibson was our 2nd best offensive player last year (in my opinion) and I like him, but he may be the 7th best option with this roster. Finally Skerry and staff appear to be getting it.... I've been fooled by skerry before, but this is the most well rounded and offensively talented squad since his first recruiting class.....

Congratulations. Way to represent the black and gold!

I'm really pumped about this add. Holden also averaged 1.7 steals a game with only 2 turnovers. And at 2 assists a game, he'll be one of our best passers. I really want to see a competent offense next year and with Holden, Nixon, Rizzuto, Gray and a returning CT (and not to mention Holland), we have more offensive firepower than I can remember. Excited that we are FINALLY not solely focusing on athletic ability or brute force and have picked up some talent!

I agree. Morehead State was no slouch either. The top OVC schools would have crushed the top CAA schools this year, no doubt about it.

We missed out on the playoffs thanks to that crooked AD from UNH that kept putting his team in the playoffs (for like 15 years), when they had no business being there because he had a seat on the selection committee (Marty Scarano). We pasted UNH like 66-35 on the final game of the season to end up with the same record as them, yet they got the bid. That LSU game was fantastic. I wouldn't trade it for the playoffs. We had the lead for a chunk of the game. We rushed for more yards than ANYONE did on LSU that entire season. We had 4 sacks vs. 0 for LSU. We played outstanding. Too bad we didn't get in the playoffs though, to your point, as that might have been our best team ever. If we had Enders the next season, I think we would have won it all. We were featured on 60 Minutes b/c of that game, we made some show like hard knocks for LSU, etc. That was so memorable.

325th....

Looks like we are sniffing around another JUCO guard. This guy shot over 50% from 2, but only 22% from 3. He does hand out assists and went to Montverde Acadmeny......

We need to aim high. He may not come here, but we should go after good talent. I'd kill for one more good shooter on next year's team!
