STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Discussing his team ahead of its season-opening Tournament of Heroes, College of Staten Island men\u2019s basketball coach T.J. Tibbs mentioned the adjustment guard Aaron Goldstein had to make last season.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe struggled a little bit last year with being number one on (opposing team) scouting reports,\u201d Tibbs said. \u201cIt\u2019s a huge difference when an entire team is trying to stop you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Well, if the weekend\u2019s work is any indication, junior guard Goldstein, who averaged 12.0 points per game last season, is adapting quite well and he\u2019s got company. Goldstein had a game-high 27 points in Friday night\u2019s 77-71 win over St. Michael\u2019s and was one of many contributors to a 92-81 win over Chestnut Hill yesterday.<\/p>\n
