Happy Thanksgiving?
An unexpectedly large and enthusiastic crowd was present for a Saturday afternoon game with the Niagara Purple Eagles. Throughout the crowd there was a euphoria as the result of the victory over the Syracuse Orange earlier in the week. However, the optimism was suddenly tempered when fans saw Posh Alexander sitting down during warmup drills.
Shortly thereafter the message moved quickly amongst fans — Alexander and fellow guard Raphael Pinzon were out for the game.
First Half
With Alexander out Coach Anderson replaced him with 6’8” O’Mar Stanley. Starting Stanley alongside center Joel Soriano (the Big East’s Player of the Week, this week) was a move many fans had been discussing as Stanley brings energy, defense and rebounding to the team.
