8 bench points- all by the IV. Only 2 or 3 shots attempted by remaining bench. Sorry, that will most always result in an L. Jalen and Evan accounted for 52 of our points. Jalen's passing is making Fisher into all MAAC caliber player..LOL. Well good effort. We just don’t have the horses- Burns will help, but only a bit. My only complaint Seymour has to be reeled in -- I have no problem with him taking 13-- 3's if they are good shots, at least half of his shots tonight, we not good shots

In the end great to see they stuck with it to the end and went on to score 80 (+) points. It's a far cry from the Holy Cross fiasco that is for sure. Burns will be a difference maker. Great point on Burns. What a difference on the boards he could have made for us in a game like tonight. He should make a heck of a difference on put-backs and our offensive rebounding deficiencies.

So few offensive choices. Camper starting to remind me of Maurice White on the offensive end. No offense, but other than Camper missing in those couple 3 ball opportunities I don’t see any comparison. Camper’s a way better ball handler and hasn’t run over anybody yet.

Liked that there was no quit in this team. Pickett is the real deal and like Tony says he makes things easier for Fisher. Nothing from the bench except for Friday. Burns will help, but no one off the bench even looks for a shot. You know that have the green light to shoot if the shot this there. They have to look to get open and score.

Wow looked at the stat line...Pickett had 27 points (on 9/12 shooting and was 9/10 at one point) with 13 assists and one turnover...5 rebounds, 2 steals. Absolute stud.
We will contend for the MAAC championship next year with Pickett, Carey and Burns leading the way. You can take that to the bank.

That is going to be the staffs' challenge with Burns- Do not affect guys that are playing well-Staff seems to love Seymour- but I think all of Burns minutes should come from Seymore, Huerter and Ratliff

Other than Pickett who plays so within himself and surprisingly Fischer there is no other offensive help at all. If the defense doesn't get better I don't know how many teams we can outscore.

and...just when we thought it was over RE: Pickett - the biggest issue this staff has is that they need to put players around him like tomorrow. If they incoming class isn't very impressive I fear he doesn't stick around for 4 years. I disagree, with the not sticking around for 4 years part.

This opponent was the one we really needed his defense and athleticism. Sorry but after Pickett, who I fear will be poached, the rest of this class is awful. Richard knee injury obviously hurt. Just didn't think it would this much.

Random thoughts: This is a rag tag bunch and time after time JC falls just short, it’s really a testament to how good a coaching job he’s really doing. Pickett is unbelievable he does everything well and is JC’s version of Fran’s Hasbrouck. Fisher has definitely benefited from playing in the paint he does have nice footwork. Sloan on a good team wouldn’t have been forced into action at this rate. His role should have been more of a shooter off the bench. I was hoping the Romanian kid was going to be able play, now I’m betting he isn’t on the roster next year. TH jr is just in over his head. Burns is going to give this group a major lift. Smithen? What the hell happened? Who’s corn flakes did he per in? Pickett is Hasbrouck...Darwiche is Braga...almost eerie. Seymour will be fine when he's play 10-15 minutes as a three-point sniper off the bench.

Good fight....just dug too deep of a hole. There's positives but no moral victories. Pickett is special... Fisher has been solid. Just need a few more pieces. On to Harvard...let's hope we can get the home win! For me there’s always moral victories.

Three pointers need to fall from Seymour (3 out of 13) and free throw shooting was bad 13-21. Next. vs. Harvard, 3 pm, Saturday December 1st (No stream has been announced) On the positive side, he went 2 for 3 after his 1 for 10 start.

If Seymour is hitting threes he is difficult to replace, but his percentage has been down the last couple of games and as you point out it is based on bad shots for the most part.
