Jack Scott in the starting lineup???

I can’t watch the game right now, but I saw that too. So he’s not ineligible to play after all?

Grand Canyon star Tyon Grant-Foster withdrew from the NBA draft a little late and had to miss his team’s first two games. Maybe something like that happened to Jack Scott (withdrew from William & Mary too late) and that got misinterpreted as “ineligible for the entire season.”

All of NE baskets are at the hoop :unamused:

Another sluggish start. Mitch again playing a lot of guys.

I hate CAA games - they haven’t boarded the ESPN+ train.

But according to the boxscore, it’s 20-16 now. Slowly warming up. With the starting lineup still in flux, I guess we should get used to slow starts.

I plunked down $20 for a month of Flowsports to watch the game. This is certainly not one of the prettier Princeton squads. It’s pretty ugly but this team is gritty and should win a lot of games.

And Mitch wants to spread the minutes early in the year.

Looks like they’ve found their footing, but they can’t stop Harold Woods. Singlehandedly keeping NE in this game - he killed us last season too.

Welp, at least they have a 1st half lead for a change.

Lee got a taste of NBA rim guarding on that last shot.

Vonsid’s link is working now! Rough start to the second half.

Maybe put Abdullahi on Woods? He’s getting layups at will and scoring half of NE’s points.

Davis has it going with 18 points, taking good shots. Tie game with 14 to play. Woods continues to romp inside.

Defense is getting carved up. Down 3 with 11 to play. Mitch needs to try something different to stop Woods.

Death by pick and roll.

Xaivian is 3/13 from the floor. Brutal

Offense is so stagnant.

And Harold Woods left wide-open for another layup and-1.

A lot of time left, but this game feels like a loss.

Xaivian looks gassed. Throws a terrible pass and NE gets the pick and easy hoop. Down 7 with 6 to play.

This team has big problems.

Gotta get Peters a lot more looks - he’s hitting his 3s today.

They can’t get stops. Every NE possession is a bucket and/or FTs.

No excuse because it’s part of the game, but it’s clear that fatigue is a factor today. NE hasn’t played for 6 days and looks fresher. Hitting tough shots and playing physical defense.
