I guess the Griffs are going with the theory of live by the 3 die by the 3, because they got bombarded by Robert Morris last night, 91-73, with Robert Morris hitting 16 3 point shots! Which is the opposite result from their first win of the season where they unloaded from behind the arc, this time they locked down the paint, and got beat overtop. Of course Canisius lets a team shoot 51% on them. The lack of defense is really beginning to be a problem for the boys in blue and gold. And having West Virginia come in on Saturday could really be messy. Especially if they have Robert Morris put up 91 on them. West Virginia did beat MD Eastern Shore 110-44 this year. We could see something like that.
Well Coach P seems to be changing up the lineup with Malesa getting more time of late. I guess you can't put down the hot Polish Rifle. He and Frank Turner both led the team with 17 points. 9 guys had more then 10 minutes in the game. Which tells me he really doesn't know what he has, besides Frank Turner and Pawel Malesa. Who was sitting a lot early in the season. This is a growing year indeed, with guys learning to play college basketball and Coach P's system. Whatever that might be.
This drops the Griffs to 1-9 on the year and Next up West Virginia at HSBC.
In other news.
The women continue to struggle has they have dropped 5 of their last 6 including a loss at Saint Louis, 67-55. With Brittane Russell deciding to show up and put in 24 points on the night. She is also leading the team on average with 12 points a game. Including an impressive 39 steals on the year. But its not enough as the Griffs drop to 4-6 on the year.
Next up Friday at Missouri State.

You know what the Griffs need: Downer and Hoepfinger Reunion. The presence of alumni will vault them over the Moutaineers, that is my prediction.
