I’ve always considered Dunne an exceptional coach; he has had our number numerous times in the past. That said, I like the Marist matchup more than a matchup with Niagara. I feel like we struggled against the Paulus-led schemes than our two games against Dunne and Co. play D and find the open man for the good shot….
Dunne has seemed to get the best of us several times in key games. He certainly had a great game plan in Poughkeepie. I thought he made excellent half time adjustments earlier tonight to beat Niagara. We need to adjust to what they did against us last time.
SEck is healthy, he just gets abused when he plays. You have to play your best players, no experimenting. Why Goodine is not starting is beyond me.
I’ve thought about that also. But if you start Goodine, who sits? Bleechmore? And go with very small lineup? Floyd? But he is solid defender and rebounder as well as handle point. Maybe seeing how things are going allows Casey to make best decision on way to go. But Goodine definitely needs to get in there.
What I like about the four guards and a big is you have four very good foul shooters who at the end of the game if it is close will take you to a victory.
I have always liked having a scorer coming off the bench. If the team is not shooting well he can come in and get the offense going. Even if it is going well he forces the defense to make another adjustment to his long-range shooting. If he gets hot he can blow open a tight game. I wouldn't change Casey's rotation at this point.

Agree with TommyD. But if the offense( especially if against St. Pete's) is not doing well, I hope Coach Casey doesn't just stick to the first media time out which sometimes doesn't occur until 13 minutes left in the half. Too long in my humble opinion. We need Brycen's firepower!
