In response to MrPhillie
Yes, My bad, Jake has not been starting. Not a good look that a captain and another team leader were held out due to conduct infractions. Also, if the team is practicing poorly that doesn’t look good for coaching or team captains.
Yes, VDH hasn't been starting, but actually a third player (Motta) was also benched for the first 4:22. In place of the three who were disciplined were Bascoe, Adoh, and Bijiek. That left a mismatched lineup that included three players 6-9 or taller. That group wasn't prepared to defend Marist's smaller but more mobile forwards. Also this was a poor offensive lineup. By the time they got a normal lineup on the floor, the Bison trailed 10-2. Thanks to this slow start, they trailed for almost the entire game. Although we'll never know, you can make a good argument that this disjointed starting lineup cost them the game.
