Just finished watching the game, had to cover a high school game tonight.
I said it Tuesday night and I'll say it again tonight I like the way Tanner Toolson plays. He is not afraid out there when he gets the ball and he has some nice moves in the paint.

Had to look it up but I knew someone from St. Francis (Pa.) played for the Mavericks. It was Mike Iuzzolino.

St. Francis has about 2000 students (only 1400 traditional undergrads) and is moving to Division 3 athletics next summer.

"The Board and I have been concerned about the student-athlete experience for many years. The geography of our conference is huge. Our students travel either to Chicago or to Boston or to points in between. That's a lot of time not spent on campus, developing friendships or in the classroom. This change allows our students to be present on campus and lets their friends attend more of their home and away games. This decision is about creating and maintaining community and allowing our student-athletes to thrive in the classroom and their chosen sport."

Back in 1983, Seattle U. went from NCAA 1 to NAIA 2. Too many of their players were being paid, and Father Bill Sullivan, the President, said enough.St. Francis has about 2000 students (only 1400 traditional undergrads) and is moving to Division 3 athletics next summer.

Agree. Neither looks real comfortable when both out there spacing wise.

Agree. I like being forced to play Punch and Edmonds who looked great together.
Having a team of people who can both score AND shoot free throws is something new and exciting. Missing free throws is a demoralizer...conversely, making them is a confidence booster and I think we saw confidence grow as the game went on.

I made the same comment. Toolson would look great in the starting lineup as the two and Pierre would be fine off the bench to work with our strong bench players.

That does make our game feel even better. We were strong right out of the gate.

Edmonds is a great addition out there. Kind of guy that is a physical presence and won’t back down.
