The Coaching Legacy of Tyrell Coley (Ch2k8)

Anderson was a beast on the boards for Quinnipiac...ouch! Good luck with the rest of your conference games.

Yeah, not having size in the middle will bite me from time to time. The sad part is I'm pretty sure he got most of those rebounds on offense.

With 11 games to go (10 now since I played again, just haven't updated), I'm hoping to at least run in the middle of the pack in the Northeast Conference. According to the ratings of each team, I'm only expected to win 4 more games.

But the last game I just played was amazing, definitely ran through the entire spectrum of emotions. I'll hopefully have an update out tonight.

Long Island (7-11, 2-5) at Sacred Heart (13-5, 6-1)
William H. Pitt Center - Fairfield, CT
January 24, 2008

Jaytornah Wisseh made his only two points of the game come at the most opportune time, hitting both free throws to give Long Island a 49-48 lead over Sacred Heart with 26.8 seconds left. That lead would stand despite two desperation heaves from Corey Hassan as the Blackbirds knock off one of the top teams in the Northeast Conference.

With leading scorer Drew Shubik sitting out with a broken hand, Sacred Heart (13-6, 6-2) shot under 30% from the floor. Despite the poor shooting, the Pioneers overcame an early deficit and lead by double digits in the second half.

Long Island (8-11, 3-5) was hot to start the game, with Ron Manigault scoring 11 of the Blackbirds' first 15 points. Manigault led Long Island scorers with a season high 14 points.

Sacred Heart responded to Long Island's hot hand and closed out the first half on a 11-0 run to take a 26-23 advantage.

The second half began like the first had ended, with Sacred Heart's full court trap forcing turnovers and easy transition points. A three pointer from Hassan gave the Pioneers a 37-25 lead to cap off the run.

Long Island fought their way, led by Ike Udanoh's assault on the inside. Udanoh scored 10 of his 13 points in the second half and added nine rebounds to help pull the Blackbirds within two possessions.

A costly reach-in foul by Chauncey Hardy sent Wisseh to the free throws with under a minute to play, and despite Long Island's earlier troubles at the charity line Wisseh would connect on both attempts and give his team the lead.

Long Island has alternated wins and losses in their last six contests, and have a day of rest before returning to action at home against Mount St. Mary's (9-10, 4-4).

Sacred Heart falls out of a tie for first place in the conference with their second loss in their last three games. The previously held a six game winning streak and will look to start another on Saturday against Quinnipiac (12-6, 6-1).

Wow great win! That game must have been one heck of a grind.

[superjames1992]

Great win! Looks like a real meat-grinder of a game!
