Glad the Spiders won, it is a relief to know that maybe at least one or two things can go right in a game. Still a tiny win over a terrible team. Don't understand how anyone posts here that they aren't worried about our defense. Yes the offense has been dreadful and is rightly one focus, but to me defense is equally poor. It's just we've played terrible teams so far that miss lots of open 3s.
This version of Roche was who we've wanted to see for last 2+ years, but don't get to see that often. I mean he played 7m last game, so that didn't help, but he was hot tonight. Hope that continues. Hope someone else also remembers how to shoot.
Altogether, leaving the starters in for the first 8 minutes I think was a good idea. I have no idea how AP was the starter over Nescovic on a pure measure of how they've played this year, but maybe coaches think he's a better fit with that group or with Beagle specifically. Until he makes shots, he's basically Noyes giving UR a taller guy who grabs a few boards.
The hilarity of BB on the broadcast talking about Roche giving the team a dose of continuity because he's been with the program reeked of an inside the program spin job. If the landscape of college hoops is immediate revamp and plug and play new transfers, the system can't mandate a minimum of 2 years in it to be able to play good ball, but that's how they're framing things.
Gotta be able to win against all these bad teams because not many games like this will be wins against better teams.
