Big win for the Ephs tonight over Colby. Shared the ball well, shot it great (finally!) got some stops when they needed to. Fun game to watch

Even as Williams built a seemingly comfortable second half lead I had a feeling it would go down to the final possession like these games always do. Amherst hit some big shots and forced a few key turnovers while Williams went cold for awhile down the stretch and struggled from the free throw line. Elias Chin had a great game, he looks like a future star for sure. Great for the Ephs to pull that one out though, I agree that they seem to have a big coaching advantage in these games.

Conn's zone could make things tough on Tufts since Conn has some decent size and Tufts can get stagnant offensively but I suspect Gyimesi will be able to take advantage of some looks around the free throw line and mid post. Williams had some space there especially in the 2nd half but clearly wasn't comfortable taking those shots

Credit to Tufts for making some adjustments on defense and going on that impressive run. Williams defended pretty well but went ice cold and then got rattled and started turning the ball over - Tufts size and length on defense gave them a lot of problems.

Excited for Williams-Tufts tomorrow. While I'm a Williams fan teams with size like Tufts have certainly given the Ephs trouble the last few years, especially on the offensive glass. If Williams can avoid the slow starts that have hurt them at times then they can absolutely make this a game, just like they did both times last weekend. For a prediction I'd side with those predicting Tufts in a close one, hopefully I'm wrong.

I seem to remember some people saying Williams would lose both games by a combined 30+ points this weekend...
