24 to 14 on rebounds and 9 to 1 on offensive rebounds needs to be corrected. Otherwise, 9 to 1 from the free throw line is the difference.

It is something that likely won't change. Hofstra crashes the glass hard and they are just more physical than the Tribe bigs. Also doesn't help with the Tribe playing zone, as it is tough to find someone to box out

We need to play a really solid 2nd half, we haven't done that in the last several games, even some of the wins. Good defense and rebounding are likely the keys.

Nesmith usually comes off the bench this season. He must be trying to make a statement to start regularly.
11 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and has only missed one shot.
Need to control him a little better.

It also seems that when we do get a hand on the ball for a rebound, we have a mental lapse and don't secure it. Like we are immediately looking downcourt instead of securing rebound.

Much better performance than the last two games, even with the rebounding problems. Let's keep it up!

Let Terry keep shooting, Omar keep driving, and Marcus doing whatever he wants and we will be fine. Color commentator is not my favorite today - keeps harping on Tribe's lack of athleticism. Then Marcus dunks over someone.

He means Hofstra as a whole has more "Ballers"
Hopefully Marcus goes off for 29 or so this half :)

Greg looks like a freshman on defense. Gets caught in the air way too much.

Sheldon missed layup. Omar with an airball. Tighten it up, guys. Hofstra has ramped up their d.

Bad start to the second half. I sure thought the one Sheldon missed was a goaltend.

according to the announcers: "8 NBA scouts" are there.

Hofstra is not the team you want to struggle to score against for a prolonged amount of time

49-49 after two Hofstra 3s. 12:45 left.

They are out hustling us this half

So every team we play makes like 12 threes a game now?

Tie game. Hope we can get the momentum back.

In all fairness, Hofstra has taken like 25 in the game so far. Unfortunately, they have gotten the rebound on like half of their misses

Does Burchfield provide anything positive while out on the court? He just seems lost on both ends of the court

Somebody on D needs to find Nesmith.

Clearly we don't want a 25 footer when the shot clock is running out.
