central confidence desperate ended foul huge included key knew losing needed rebounds shots state streak tough
This was a huge confidence booster for us. We ended the three-game losing streak which included two heart-breaking one-point losses. We were desperate for a win. But we also knew Central Connecticut State would be tough mentally. They were. I just think we made some key rebounds and made some foul shots when we needed to.
although central hard tough
Central Connecticut is so much like us. It should be a very competitive game. They play hard just like us and, although they are undersized like us, they are tough to beat.
attacking beat gave mostly zone
We were attacking their man-to-man well, and they're mostly a man-to-man team. Their zone gave us problems. We didn't attack it right. Their zone beat us.
francis good hard itching job seem slow stopping time
We started off too slow and didn't seem to have our legs. I think they were itching to play because of the time off, and it was hard to get back into it. But give St. Francis credit. They made a run, and we didn't do a good job stopping it.

We have really struggled at the foul line. I don't know why.

carrying game great jeremy job plan quick sit
Our game plan wasn't for A.J. to get two quick fouls and sit out. Jeremy did a great job carrying us in the first half.
days deal five francis gets gone home hours learn leave northeast situation toughest travel trip
(Robert Morris) and St. Francis have the toughest travel. There are times we are gone for five days at a time. We just got back from a two-game trip and were home for 24 hours and had to leave again. That gets tiring. But we have to learn to deal with that because that is the situation we are in being in the Northeast Conference.

I thought he was the difference in the game. He got rebounds. He defended. He gave us energy. He only played 13 minutes, but they were 13 big minutes. He did a terrific job.
