SELECT GAME NOTES VS. LE MOYNE (FULL GAME NOTES PDF)
FRANKIES TIDBITS IN A FLASH
• Fans of the TV show
Cheers and the great "Who is Cliff Clavin?" episode, might think that if you put a final Jeopardy clue of Tom Cruise, Bobcat Goldthwait and Post Malone that Clavin's answer might be, "Who are three people that have never been in my kitchen?" While the real final Jeopardy clue was "Archibald Leach, Bernard Schwartz and Lucille LeSueur" in the category of "Movies" from that January 18, 1990 episode.
• Well if you think you are entitled and want the truth (
A Few Good Men reference), Cruise, Goldthwait and Malone were all born in Syracuse after the last time Saint Francis played Le Moyne on its home court.
• Sunday's meeting marks the sixth meeting in the all-time series dating back to the 1948-49 season and also the first in 66 years.
• The Red Flash led the series 4-1 including 1-1 in Syracuse.
• The last time the Frankies played the Dolphins in upstate New York was NBA Hall of Famer and Saint Francis legend Maurice Stokes' first season in Loretto. Saint Francis defeated Le Moyne 79-53 on February 9, 1952. Stats are not available from that game, but Stokes posted 505 points and averaged 16.8 points per game that season.
• Stokes would play at least four games against the Syracuse Nationals in the NBA as a member of the Rochester Royals in Syracuse and he averaged 17.8 points and 19.0 rebounds per game in those contests. He also had 15 points and 30 rebounds in Rochester against the Nationals on February 1, 1956.
• The two games against Le Moyne are the only two standalone games on the schedule for the Frankies. The rest of the schedule the team either plays at least two games at home or on the road consecutively.
• This season is the season of milestones for head coach
Rob Krimmel. He won his 150th career game at Lehigh on November 29 and coached his 350th game at Wagner on January 6.
• The 12th year head coach is on the cusps of two more milestones, both connected to the NEC. He will coach his 200th NEC regular season game on Sunday and needs two NEC wins to win his 100th game in league play.
• Krimmel will become the 10th man to serve as a head coach for 200 league games, joining Tom Green (FDU, 452, 1983-09), Howie Dickenman (CCSU, 344, 1997-16), Dave Bike (Sacred Heart, 258, 1999-13), Ron Ganulin (St. Francis Brooklyn, 254, 1991-05), Dave Calloway (Monmouth, 250, 1998-11), Jim Phelan, Mount St. Mary's, 250, 116-134), Glenn Braica (St. Francis Brooklyn, 230, 2010-23), Paul Lizzo (LIU, 225, 1982-95) and Dave Magarity (Saint Francis/Marist, 214, 1982-83, 1987-97).
• Krimmel would be the second former Red Flash player to have coached 200 games in the NEC that also coach in Loretto. Margarity played for the Frankies from 1974-78 and then was an assistant coach in Loretto from 1974-78 before serving as the head coach from 1978-83. The 1982-83 season was the first season of the ECAC Metro which would later become the NEC and then he was head coach at Marist from 1986-2004 with the first 10 years with the Red Foxes the team was a member of the NEC.
• With two NEC wins, Krimmel would become the 12th head coach with 100 league wins and would join Green (263), Dickenman (187), Ganulin (129), Calloway (127), Magarity (117), Phelan (116), Braica (116), Andrew Toole (115, Robert Morris, 2010-20), Bashir Mason (111, Wagner, 2012-22), Wayne Szoke (109, Monmouth, 1988-98) and Bike (105).
• Krimmel is currently tied with former LIU head coach and current UMBC head coach Jim Ferry with 98 NEC regular season wins in 13th place after the win on Friday.
• Back to Magarity, before he left to become an assistant coach at Iona and later head coach at Marist, he was connected with Saint Francis for 13 straight seasons as a player, assistant coach and head coach. Krimmel has been connected with his alma mater for 28 consecutive years. Kevin Porter is the only other alumni to go on to coach the Flash. Porter was a player for Saint Francis from 1968-72 and then after a successful NBA career was the head coach for four years of the Frankies (1983-87).
• The team returns home to continue its stretch of five of six games in Loretto, starting with Sacred Heart on Thursday.
AN SFU WIN WOULD
• Be the first NEC win against Le Moyne and 99th league win of head coach Rob Krimmel's career
• Be the first win against Le Moyne since 1957-58 and the first win in Syracuse against the Dolphins since 1951-52.
• Post two wins in a row for the third time this season
• Improve league record to 2-4 for third time under Krimmel (2013-14, 2021-22) and avoid starting 1-5 for the third time (2012-13, 2021-22)
LAST TIME OUT
• Fueled by 58 points combined by freshmen
Bobby Rosenberger III and
Eli Wilborn, and sophomore
Cam Gregory, Saint Francis defeated LIU 72-66 on Friday.
• Rosenberger led the way with a career-high 21 points and nine rebounds. Wilborn added a career-best 19 points on his birthday, while Gregory recorded 18 points in the first NEC win of the year.
• Wilborn registered a poster dunk with 6:40 left in the first half that was selected as the No. 4 play on Sports Center Top-10 plays of the day.
• The Frankies scored nine of the last 15 points to secure the win and went 7 of 8 from the free throw line with charity tosses by Gregory, Wilborn, Rosenberger and
Chris Moncrief. The only field goal the team registered in this stretch was a monster dunk by Wilborn off a feed from Gregory.
ABOUT THE DOLPHINS
• Le Moyne comes into the contest 7-11 overall and 2-2 in NEC play after defeating CCSU 75-73 on Friday. Graduate student
Nate McClure scored a fast-break layup with 1.2 seconds left to secure the win.
• Graduate student
Kaiyem Cleary paced the Dolphins with 19 points and eight rebounds. Graduate student
Luke Sutherland (14 points), McClure (13 points) and graduate student
Mike DePersia (11 points) also registered double figures in the victory.
• Cleary power the team with 14.5 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Sutherland (13.6 ppg.) and Junior
Ocypher Owens (10.2 ppg.) are also averaging double figures for the Dolphins.
TRENDING UP
•
Sophomore
Bobby Rosenberger III became the third different player to reach 20 points this season, joining sophomore
Cam Gregory and freshman
Carlos Lopez, Jr. The trio has accounted for six games of 20 points or more all in the last 12 games.
• Rosenberger now has seven 10+ point games this season and he is tied with Lopez with two games with at least 19 points this season. Gregory leads the way with four games with at least 19 points. Rosenberger also had a career-high nine rebounds against LIU and has registered seven or more boards four times, including both games he scored at least 19 points.
• Freshman
Eli Wilborn posted his second game with at least 15 points on Friday. He has registered double figures in points 10 times this season, including four of the five games in league play. The freshman has hauled in at least five rebounds in his last 10 games with eight games with at least seven boards and five double-doubles in that stretch.
• Wilborn's 35 rejections are second most by a freshman under Krimmel and the third most by a player in any class under the head coach. Josh Nebo is next on the list in both categories with 56 blocks (2015-16).
• According to @nechoopsron, Wilborn, who is second in the NEC in blocks (2.0), third in rebounding (7.3) and fourth in field goal percentage (54.7), is looking to become the first freshman since CCSU's Kyle Vinales (scoring, free throws, 3-pointers made) to finish in the Top-5 in the NEC in three categories in 2011-12. Prior to that, you'd have to go all the way back to the 1999-00 season when future NEC Player of the Year Corsley Edwards ended his freshman campaign rated in the Top-5 in rebounding, field goal percentage blocks.
• The 40 points combined by Rosenberger and Wilborn are the most combined points by two players this season. Wilborn (14 points) and Gregory (25 points) combined for 39 points against FDU on January 15. The game on Friday was also the first time this season that the Frankies had three players post 18 points or more in the same game.
• While a traditional work week is considered Monday through Friday, sophomore
Cam Gregory might consider his work week as Thursday to Monday because he is averaging 15.0 points per game in games played during that stretch and 16.2 points per game in games between Friday and Monday. Before the games at Wagner on January 6 and home game against CCSU on January 13, the sophomore had scored double figures in nine-straight games during the "Gregory work week."
Gregory scoring by days:
Thursday - 12.5 points per game (2 games)
Friday - 19.0 points per game (2 games - 2 18+ games)
Saturday - 14.2 points per game (5 games, 4-10+ points, 1-20+)
Sunday - 17.0 points per game (1 game - at Iona)
Monday - 16.7 points per game (3 games, 19+ in two games)
Tuesday - 6.0 points per game (1 game - Penn State)
Wednesday - 10.6 points per game (3 games, 1 10+ game)
• Saint Francis has had a player reach 15 points 18 times this season with 16 of those outputs coming at DeGol Arena. Rosenberger as two of the games on the road with 15+ (19 points at Penn State on November 14 and 16 points at Lehigh on November 29 and Gregory also has one game with 15+ with 17 points at Iona on December 10).
