1/2: 94-55 vs. Fordham here. Didn't expect a blowout; they were 7-4 coming in. We held a slight lead then stretched it out. Up 25 at the half. 18, 4, 5 for Herd, 17, 2, 6 for Biel, 17, 3, 3 for Risi, 20, 3 for Burr. 9 TOs- they had 23.
This was a very strong A10 debut!
Excerpts from the Post Game Press Conference:
Q: Coach, this was pretty solid start to A10 play. Can we expect this going forward?
Coach: This is a competitive conference and this was a home game. We're going to do our best to play as hard as we can, but there will be challenges ahead.
Q: Talk about Arvid Biel in the two spot.
Coach: We have a lot of confidence in Arvid. 17 points, 2 TOs tonight and he held his man to 2 points. He takes care of the ball and he plays good D. If he can score the way he did tonight we'll be more than happy. It was a tough break losing Chris Hobs, but that's basketball.
