Game #10—We got off to a 13-5 start but then let the Seton Hall Pirates (7-3) go on an 8-0 run and then overtake us. We fell behind by 5 but came back late to get with a single point at the break at 33-32. The Pirates made 7 more points at the line, otherwise we would have led. SG Dominick Collins poured in 12 points for us, hitting all 5 of his shots including two 3’s. We gave it all we could in the 2nd half, but Seton Hall was just a little better than us tonight and we lost 76-68. The 8 more points that the Pirates scored on free throws was the difference in this game. [7-3]

Topping our scoring was SG Dominick Collins with 16 points. PF Kevin Holmes followed with 13 and PG Jon Spann had 11. Seton Hall’s C/PF Antoine Adel scored 20 and had 9 boards.

Game #11—The Vermont Catamounts (9-3) couldn’t keep pace with our offense in the first half and we were on top 46-33 after the first 20 minutes. Then we struggled offensively in the 2nd half, but our defense held off the Catamounts. We came away with a 73-62 victory by holding Vermont’s shooting to 35% and out-rebounding them 44-30. [8-3, RPI-29th]

SG Dominick Collins continued to score well for us, finishing with 24 points. C Donny Flint had a big double-double with 12 points and 17 rebounds. SF Mac McCaffery hit for 12 points and PG Jon Spann added 11 points plus dished out 7 assists.

Dominick Collins was named the CAA Player of the Week.

Game #12—The question as we prepared to take on the James Madison Dukes (6-5, 0-0) was: Can we control SG Nick Calhoun who had been scoring 19.5 ppg and hitting 53% of this shots?

We fell behind early, came back to forge ahead but then let the Dukes gain a 41-35 halftime advantage. The refs called 10 fouls on James Madison and 14 against us with the Dukes going to the line 9 more times than us. We scored 6 points in the first minute in the 2nd half to draw up into a tie. The game remained close for the remainder of the game but we came up short 87-84. [8-4, 0-1]

Leading our scoring was SG Dominick Collins with 23 points plus he had 8 rebounds and 7 assists. PF Kevin Holmes hit for 15 points and grabbed 8 boards, PF/C Donyell Porter scored 14, and PG Jon Spann added 13.

For James Madison, PF Rowan Besecker scored 21 points. Guess we asked the wrong question.

Game #13—On the road to take on Charleston Cougars (3-9, 0-1), but having lost our first conference game, we need to turn things around and win tonight.

We double-teamed SF B.J. Warren and he still hit three 3’s, a deuce, and a free throw in less than 5 minutes to score Charleston’s first 12 points and put us behind by 6. Charleston held the lead until we finally were able to wrest it away from them with 4 minutes left in the first half. We ended the half with a slim 44-43 lead. We scored the first 11 points of the 2nd half and were up by 12 with 17:56 left in the game. But then the Cougars stuck back to go on a 15-1 run. We then gradually took more and more control of the game to grind out an 87-76 victory. We knocked down 54% of our FG attempts and hit 6 of 9 our 3’s plus held a 39-29 rebounding advantage. [9-4, 1-1]

Great scoring throughout our lineup led by C Donny Flints 15 points (and 13 boards) and SG Dominick Collins 19 points. PF/C Donyell Porter had 11 points, PG Jon Spann scored 10 and had 12 assists, SF Mac McCaffery hit for 9 points, PG Weldon Walters added 8, and PF Kevin Holmes, SG Copley Dwiggins and SF Freddie Jackson each scored 5 points. Charleston’s SF B.J. Warren scored 22 points.

Game #14—The object of this game is to win and knock the Hofstra Pride (7-6, 2-0) out of the ranks of undefeated teams in CAA play.

Solid defense by us throughout the first half limited Hofstra to just 32% shooting and forced them to make 12 turnovers. We forged a 43-27 halftime advantage. We continued to outplay Hofstra in the 2nd half, played the long end of our bench late in the game, and crushed the Pride 85-70. [10-4, 2-1, tied with 3 others for 2nd place in CAA]

Top scorers for us were PF/C Donyell Porter with 20 points, SG Dominick Collins with 16, and SF Mac McCaffery with 15. SF Freddie Jackson came off the bench to score 8 and pull down 8 rebounds.

Donny Flint: “I had my worst game ever for Towson. I had just had a horrible argument with my girlfriend (or maybe ex-girlfriend now) before the game and was totally out of it during the game. I felt like a liability to the team on the court. This sucks! Time to refocus.”

Matt Barnes, 2nd Assistant (Recruiting) Coach

Mid-January and we’re basically out of funds for more recruiting and we still have an unfilled scholarship. We’ve got an offer on the table to a recruit. He’s interested but we’re still not on the top of his list, so it’s going to be tough. Even if we get him, he’s not the big interior player we were trying to get. But he’s a SF who’s a good rebounder d inside shoother who likely can play PF for us.

I want to be optimistic but it’s difficult to be. When I spoke to Coach Aura yesterday on the phone he said that we can’t expect to find gold every season. But deep down I know I should have done better and feel like I’ve let him down. I’m sure he wishes he would have been here to participate in recruiting since he excels at it.

Game #15—The Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens (8-6, 2-1) simply crushed us in the first half opening as much as a 24 point lead. The half finally mercilessly ended…with us down by a 47-30 score. Delaware hit 52% of their shots, we could only manage to sink 27% of ours. We could get no closer than 10 points in the 2nd half and finished by being stomped 84-69. [10-5, 2-2]

C Donny Flint had a double-double (14 points and 11 rebounds), PF Kevin Holmes scored 12 points, PF/C Donyell Porter and SF Mac McCaffery both scored 10 points.

Tigers Blog

What’s up with the Tigers? They’re now 2-2 in conference play so they’re tied for 5th place. And their losses have been embarrassing. First a close loss to James Madison…but it was a HOME GAME! No excuses for losing that one. Then in their last game, they were never in the game against Delaware. And while that was an away game, they were outplayed in every aspect of the game and got buried by a so-so team. Kenyon Haynes’ coaching in that game came up short as well. Rather than protecting Dominick Collins and Mac McCaffery, who both got into early foul trouble, he left both on the court after they were saddled with 4 fouls. Both fouled out midway through the 2nd half and thus weren’t available to try to close the gap late in the game. Other players were left playing when it was obvious they were dog-tired. Haynes is a guy who tried to get a head coaching job last spring. It’s becoming obvious why he was unable to do so. It’s time for the Tigers to up their game and roll off a long winning streak. If they don’t, its going to be a long season.

Tie this together with what has turned out to be a terrible recruiting effort, which at best gets a grade of a D-. Coach Fred Aura’s absence from the team has become a crisis on the court and in preparing for next season when they will have lost their 3 leading scorers and two top rebounders (Flint, Collins and Porter). There is concern in Tigerdom that last season was the team’s peak and they’ve begun a downward spiral.

Game #16—In our game against the NC-Wilmington Seahawks (5-10, 1-3), we didn’t shoot well, hitting just 32% of our shots. But no matter. Our defense was rock solid throughout the entire game. We held the Seahawks to 20 points in the first half, while scoring 27 ourselves. We never let up in the 2nd half and went on to post a convincing 58-43 victory. NC-Wilmington’s could only manage to score on 24% of their shots and we forced them to turn the ball over 17 times. None of their players scored in double figures. [11-5, 3-2]

SG Dominick Collins hit for 17 points, PG Jon Spann contributed 10 points, C Donny Flint had 8 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks, and Kevin Holmes had 11 boards.

But SG Dominick Collins suffered a strained abdominal late in the game. While he may be able to play, his efforts are likely to be limited for the next week.
