I go to most Army football home games but never went to a hockey game.
With Boomer always talking about it on WFAN, I once thought of giving a season a try but winter travel through Hudson Highlands saw me have to cancel a few games and I forgot about it. How many people are at games?

The arena holds 2,648. When we went it seemed to be sold out. We got tickets online a few days before but there weren't many left. Paid $22 each. We live in Mount Olive and takes 1 1/2 hours at most to get there. We plan on going back. Hobey Baker is a better place to see a game, IMO.

what a game

Ohio State survives a wild one 89-88 in 2 OTs to avoid a nasty Q3 loss.

Minnesota sits alone at the bottom of the Big 10 at 0-4

Media is too easy on Pike. No one pressed Pike on Harper.

Whose decision was to sit Harper?
Why did it take 15 minutes to realize he shouldn't play?
How was he in practice?
Why was he out last night at a womans game?
Why did he travel with team?
What is team doing to help Dylan get back healthy?

When your superstar player wants to give it a go, you let him give it a go. Dylan Harper at 75% is better than most of the others on the team at 100%.

He gave it a go and tried to do what he could, but it was clear he wasn't up to the task health wise. He was struggling out there to run, play defense, etc.

Again, he got back to practicing over the past few days and decided to give it a go, but wasn't ready. Kid lost nine pounds with the flu.

He's a college kid, he can do whatever he wants and wasn't contagious, so him being at the women's game has ZERO effect on him or his play.

Again, staff took all the precautions and wasn't contagious so they took him on the trip, he went through shootaround, but wasn't able to go for pregame warmups.

EVERYTHING. If you had the flu, what would you do? Rest and fluids. They did everything in their power to get him back to playing, but there's only so much you can do to train your body to get back to normal.

There was nothing else to be asked when talking about Harper. Kid was sick, tried to give it a go, end of story.

Rutgers never had a lead in the game.

Thought tone of game was unfortunately dictated at beginning of game with JMike taking too many shots / missing them all and committing a turnover etc.

It was 10-2 after 3 minutes and we couldn’t recover.

To be fair, JMike played better as the game progressed

Ace shooting 3-16 magnified the ineptitude tonight.

Free throw shooting woes again tonight ! Ugh.

Thank goodness Dylan Grant was freed from jail and Acuff stepped up!

Don’t need to see Martini or Hayes anymore. Enough is enough already !

Onto Wisconsin- it’s amazing how this squad year after year wins 20 games and is always generally NCAA tourney bound !

Gard knows how to run an offense / recruit players that fits his system and recruits players who can shoot.

I saw your post and thought you nailed it because most were running with an opposite thought about Acuff turning the corner. I wanted to give you full credit for that one! Hopefully you will tell your grandkids one day!

Acuff missed a bunch of shots late in crunch time that dampned my thoughts but RU was like 1-13 fg in the last 6 minutes or so..absolutely dreadful

RIP the "if Grant was actually better he would be playing" crowd

Coaches arent always right

Martini is such a complete zero Grant can play much worse and still be an upgrade

Things have a way of working themselves out.

Pike just doesn’t strike me as the type of guy that would be thrilled to talk to an agent while trying to recruit a player

bad teams do what the Gophers did at the end of regulation and first overtime

rutgers fans know their pain

at 65 i wonder if hed even wanna change jobs but fran mccaffrey is a philly guy and always has a fun team that is excellent offensively.

But pikes here for at least 2 more years imo. Barring him resigning and opting to retire

Are you really interested in watching that guy's dramatics and incessant whining at the refs 30 times a season? He is an insufferable human being during the game. Seems ok off the court.

His teams don't play defense and therefore are never ready for the post season. I understand he could be an upgrade to Pike, but i wouldn't be able to tolerate his antics.

Practice play is only relevant to a point. If martini is an amazing practice player, that doesn't give him the right to go out and contribute nothing game after game and play over Grant even if he is out playing him in practice
