They're gonna have to win the tourney to get into NCAA's or at least make the finals for a shot at ECAC's.  The only positive for the owls is after mass-Dartmouth they have 4 games that are winnable to get them on a roll going into the post season.  They'll probably lose tomorrow night but if they can get on a roll, get the 3 seed, get a home game and then get their confidence up they could be very dangerous.  Let's not forget they did beat RIC at RIC earlier in the year.  The thing that can't happen is Kathan and Anderson disappearing for long stretches in games.  They need to go down low and just beat up on people.  I'll take my chances with those 2 down low against anybody else in the league.  Let's hope this loss motivates them to play hard the rest of the season.  It's no longer about saving legs for later or getting playing time, it's about a sprint to the end and they gotta hop on their horses and ride them to the finish for good or bad

Good game by the Owls tonight.  They did everything they had to.  They got performances out of Kathan and Anderson.  Snow stepped up and had a monster game.  They defended the home court and got a conference win.  This late in the season that's what you want.  Question is can they come out with that same type of energy and commitment to getting it down low on Saturday?  KSCfan, Kathan took 2 3's tonight, both in the flow of the offense and they won.  I watched the game and when he gets it down low he is hard to stop because he made the right pass out of the double team and found open teammates.  Anderson did the same thing too.  Cody Snow though impressed me tonight.  Long kid, plays hard, very explosive.  Couple of dunks tonight but they were more impressive in that the Owls were moving the ball and playing unselfish.  The next step for this team is to bury teams when they get a lead like they did in the first half.  I have a feeling it's gonna be a battle down the stretch here and I wouldn't count them out in the tournament either, they played good, not great tonight.  Here's hoping they can continue that

I have no idea.  First one was him catching the ball and trying to run first and the Plymouth player smartly made him travel.  Second was him not taking the ball all the way to the hoop when he was open but rather trying to show off and the third was just him throwing the ball away.  It was sad to watch after their new guy back up made several good plays or at least was a steady hand.  Also Kathan should be allowed 2 three point attempts a game. Max.  There is no reason at 6'5'' 230 he is shooting those unless he is open.  The coaching staff should put him and Anderson on the block and if they try anything outside of 18 feet unless it's uncontested pull them.  No way anybody handles Keene if you give those 2 somewhere between 20-25 touches a game down low.  Plus it opens up everything else. 
I agree that RIC is back and the LEC this year is just gonna come down to a dogfight for the top seed but I still don't think the top seed will go dancing this year.

KSCfan I agree with you whole heartedly.  Have to say after watching the game though that Keene deserved to lose that game.  They didn't hustle, rebound or play good defense.  Unfortunately this team has too many freshman and Kathan and Anderson can only do so much.  Also, get that point guard they have starting off the floor, i watched him commit 3 turnovers at key points.  1 i'm okay with, 2 get the hook ready, but the coaching staff giving him the chance to make 3 and not going with the bench guy who was outperforming him to that point is bad coaching.  Also, if Keene is down only 4 then why is anybody BUT the two seniors shooting the ball.  Unless they have a dunk they shouldn't shoot.  Basically to sum up, Keene played awful, deserved to lose and did.  Now it's up to the coaches to figure out how to get this team back on track and the players to follow the gameplan.
