These guys are having.fun. So am I !

Great win!! Love the team effort and confidence. And I think I saw some offensive sets in there.

Well, they say play your best basketball in March, and that was certainly our best.

Somebody needs to talk Ayesa into staying for an MBA!

Given his recent breakout success, I can’t help but wonder how our situation might been different if he’d been put in the starting lineup sooner.

Looks to me like he just needed confidence and the trust of the coaching staff.

Certainly our best game of the year.

Good D! Amazing how Elon always seemed to go deep into the shot clock before trying to score, even when down double digits.

Wooooooooo!! Now that was a good time. Hofstra's boogeyman returns tomorrow!

I mean yes, but even with Ayesa's recent play I wouldn't start him over Dorsey. Ayesa is reaping the benefits of the coaching staff finally calling plays for shooters. Dorsey's only option most of the season was step back further.

The story of the past two weeks has been actually having an offense. I don't know if that's due to the single post rather than two bigs or whether it's running different plays, but I suspect at least a little bit of both. No shade for Collier, he's a great player. But not having him on the court next to Wight has changed everything.

Ayesa worked his butt off this summer and significantly improved his conditioning that has resulted in much better D. Glad to see him given the option shine now.

We started 4 seniors today and the experience showed on execution and the results.

Next up is our real coaching test as we need to adjust our lineup and offense to force Hofstra to match up against us. We cannot have 12 blocked shots like the last game against us at home.

There was a lot more passing and less dribbling. Maybe because we were against the zone. First possession, not a single pass til we drove the lane. I like to see that.
