Three Thoughts: St. Francis Brooklyn 63, Bryant 47 (The Amdy Fall Show)

As good as we are with advanced statistics, we haven’t quite gotten to shots adjusted or changed yet (it’s surely coming soon). The stat sheet told part of the story Monday afternoon, as Amdy Fall finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and four blocks as St. Francis Brooklyn suffocated Bryant 63-47 to move to 2-0 in the NEC.

Three Thoughts: St. Francis Brooklyn 73, Sacred Heart 71

Leadership bringing intangibles to the party, but just what are intangibles? And what exactly is leadership?

St. Francis is now 0-3 after close losses to Army and Rutgers and a defeat versus Georgetown. Continue reading “Three Thoughts: Rutgers 76, St. Francis Brooklyn 73”

Three Thoughts: Army 74, St. Francis Brooklyn 71

Army led by as many as 12 points at the Pope Center on Wednesday night, but a late run closed the gap for St. Francis Brooklyn and gave Brent Jones a decent look from three to tie the game. Unfortunately that attempt clanged off the left rim. Army moved to 3-0 on the young season, while the Terriers fell to 0-2.
