"I think it’s the best stretch we’ve had since I’ve been here," 11th-year Catamount coach John Becker said Friday. "They do it in practice, they do it in games. But we hang our hat on defense and rebounding and toughness and we can’t get too far away from that because we are going to need that if and when the offense comes back to earth."
The Hawks (3-10, 1-0) beat New Hampshire earlier this week, their first game back in a month after dealing with COVID-19 protocols. Austin Williams (15.3 ppg), Moses Flowers (13.0 ppg) and Hunter Marks (12.5 ppg) pace Hartford.
