Not sure how we are favored but in the last 5 games, the wise guys think more highly of us than my eyes do. Anyway, we really need a good effort tonight or this season could get out of hand fast Saturday was unacceptable.

What a half. The state of this program right now from top to bottom makes me sick to my stomach. Joe is playing hard and keeping us within shouting distance with his efforts on the glass.

The 22 turnovers absolutely kill me because it's the constant and it means we have to kill ourselves to stay in the game. That said, I give the guys credit. They manhandled UD and won the game on the boards while ovecoming mistake after mistake. -11 in turnovers offset by +15 on the O boards. Joe and Chris with 27 boards combined.

A 45-19 rebounding advantage is the only reason why we won this game. 22 TO's should've meant an automatic loss.

Glad to see Pridgen in the starting lineup and he took advantage of the opportunity. I felt like he should have started much earlier this season.

I only saw the last minute of the game. Looking forward to catching it on NESN later tonight.

You absolutely cannot let the score go from up 27-23 to down 37-27 in the first half without calling a timeout. In either half actually, but even more absurd with a "use it or lose it." Absolutely unreal.

Stucke scored 34 and shot 12-19, but it was not enough. The game ended with Telfort missing a three that would have tied the game, and you lost 81-78. Telfort scored 15 and led all players with 5 assists, but he shot 6-17. Your other double-digit scorer was Troutman with 12 bench points. Pridgen led all players with 9 rebounds. You had the player with the most points, the player with the most rebounds, and the player with the most assists. Delaware did not have one of their stars, Jyare Davis. Jameer Nelson Jr. had 21 points and 4 assists, but shot twos and free throws poorly. Delaware made half of their threes and 22 free throws. There were 47 fouls, and three players fouled out.

You have off during the week and host Elon on Saturday, followed by a tough stretch of hosting Hofstra, going to UNCW, and going to Charleston.

I didn't get to see the game but looking at the box score and the number of foul shots taken it couldn't have been a fun game to watch. Why did Doherty play so few minutes? Was it only foul trouble? Looks like Troutman had another productive game.

Missed free throws killed us in this one.

Yes, Doherty was in foul trouble. I was surprised he didn’t foul out. Pridgen re-injured his ankle which caused him to miss the Towson game. He didn’t return the rest of the game.

Stucke’s shooting kept usin the game. Troutman is coming on. Metcalf got some good minutes and made his presence felt with some rejections.

Another game they could’ve won, but we’re just a mediocre team this season.

NU looks to bounce back after Thursday’s loss at NC A&T as the vist Elon tonight at 7pm.

A win puts NU at 3-3 and back in the thick of things. A loss and the season will go downwards.

NU hasn’t played well recently at Elon, so I’m skeptical about winning this game.
