Well, maybe these Blue Devils are like the Colts after all.
Ok, not quite, but a very nice effort in the second half. I figured the game was over after the fake (which CCSU is now 4-for-4 on in Coach Mac's tenure), but it was a solid finish by the starters.
The reserves have tons of work to do, obviously, but they're very young and will get valuable experience from games likes this. Still, it would be nice if Central didn't let these teams get close, but a win is a win.
I'd never disrespect the work the players and coaches put in every week by calling next week meaningless, but the main concern against Stony Brook will be making sure the Devils don't suffer any injuries.
One aside. I should have written this by now, but I haven't yet, so let me make up for it now. I've been impressed with the way the Blue Devils have presented themselves this season. Guys like Jo Jo Freeman, Ryan Holmes and Ernie Greywacz have answered every question, even the tough ones, with class, respect, and intelligence.
They've been a pleasure to work with this season, win or lose. They're never rushing to get away, no question is too stupid (or can be asked too many times), and no weird circumstance (a broken tape and a sudden case of the stutters come to mind for me) has caused them any outward annoyance.
They're truly a group you guys should be proud to root for.
