I don't know how much longer this team can keep it up with hardly any depth. Starters are playing a bunch of minutes and could will wear them down at some point.

Depth is definitely going to eventually catch up with these guys but on a positive note they are 18-21 year olds and they have a break in early Dec of only playing two games over 20 days. Conference play is gonna be rough though.

After the game, LB seemed down on Bernardi. Rich mentioned his 3 and LB said something to the effect of "He's got that figured out but he needs to figure out everything else."

He got on Bernardi after his 2nd foul. Wasn't pleased with that at all.

Myles Melville from Plano is a freshman for Rider so that explains the Rider fan club that cheered once down the stretch. Myles' dad is a SVP at Frito-Lay and played hoops at Princeton. A little trivia...


Good find..he prepped out east.

Would Bernardi possibly be the "casualty" if we run low on scholarships?

Right now we're looking at 15 players for 13 spots in 2013-2014, if we sign Frazier in the Spring that's 16 for 13 spots. Guessing the 3 casualties would be Ofoegbu, Bernardi and Dickerson.

I'm pulling for bernardi. We haven't had a shooter like that in a long time. Plus I love his family. Good peeps.

He had position for a charge and backed up at the last second - causing the penalty on him as a block instead of picking up the charge and getting the turnover. Those little things cost you games - they are the exact same thing as scoring in value to the team. Why get in position for a charge and then chicken out at the end?

Hopefully he'll learn - i think he plays solid D and we need his 3"s.
