The dunk by Sky to foul out one of their two stud forwards (Tyler?) one of my all-time memories and one of Sky's all-time plays. And not to be disagreeable, Mods, but Vitale actually had moved to the AD position by the time of our game/Gaines was their head coach at the time (but Dicie V. may well have been still stalking around the sidelines in those plaid pants...) static.detroittitans.com/custompages/MBB/History/All-Time%20Coaching%20Records.pdfJust had to visit my HoyaDen to confirm it was Tyler that Sky fouled out AND it was JT's 100th career win. Quite the night... View AttachmentI think you’re right about Vitale but I remember seeing him that night.

That article mentions a few pertinent facts about that game but leaves out a few others: (1) was a big-deal-at-the-time regional tv game, (2) was our second rout of HC that season— beat them by 14 innthr Holiday Festival in the Garden when HC was a Top ten team, and (3) great bedsheet sign in one end zone “Nail the Loss on the Cross” (complete with a Spraypainted Cross). Fails to mention the game started at like 4pm and doors opened at noon with 25 cent 20 ounce beers for sale Ah, those were the days. Finished undefeated at home on the year with the win, on the heels of two epic one point comeback wins earlier that month (1) over Detroit (with three future NBA players) which had like the nation’s longest win streak of 13-14 games at the time, and (2) an OT win over GW earlier tgat week after Esherick tied it with about a 40 footer at the buzzer. Sadly the day after the HC win we spit the bit at Fordham to blow any real chance of an ncaa bid and then were routed by VCU at Smith Center in the ECAC South game (star Derrick Jackson couldn’t play because an ulcer acted up) that could’ve provided a path to an automatic bid had we won and then beaten the winner of the ECAC North game (as we did in ‘75 and ‘76). My wife hates that this stuff I remember and yet other “more important” things are totally lost in time… You forgot Dick "wearing plaid pants" Vitale coaching Detroit, and Craig Shelton dunking over Terry Tyler in that game. Esherick hit that shot right in front of my spot at the scorers table. Trust me, hoyajmw will forget his wife's name before he forgets that Big Sky dunk.

This is a step up. which may say more about Lemoyne than HC. They are small, so perhaps another big game from Mr. Cook. Does anyone remember a chant about Holy Cross only eating apple sauce? Factor in that I'm a BC "legacy" and close to ancient. Another old lyric, to the tune of the the Holy Cross anthem (O Christmas Tree)"...Holy Cross on bended Knee, kiss the a-- of old BC"? Guess what? Hokey Cross is still NOT part of the Big East. And no longer is Benedictarnold College, either. Gee, I think I live in the past too much.

We need to develop our go to point guard! However, Heath was impressive. Love his cutting/ slashing style!

Cooley went to the student section and tossed them t-shirts.

Cooley shook hands with tall White kid wearing a Deutschland Basketball hoodie sitting behind the bench with what appears to be his parents. Dad as tall as kid.
Recruiting gurus figure out who he is!

Nice work by FOX there telling us to watch the beginning on the FOS Sports app but then just putting the FS2 feed in the app so the game was totally inaccessible.

I'm not a fan of these shots by Styles, it's not his game

Styles looks like a refugee from last year jacking up that awful long two.

Some rough moments but still up and need to put more time in practicing defense

Not a great half but we have the lead, guys are playing hard, and we look like a team.

Sometimes defense doesn’t have to be any more complicated than - just stop letting your man dribble past you.
Seems like a lot of the 3s that went down for LeMoyne are not going down tonight. Getting nothing down low, so might have to be the guards that will us to victory (might be a common theme this year).

Depressing to see how the Cross is whupping us inside. We will see if Cooley can get them to play smarter second half.
