Even being down at half, there was never a doubt. Although, I'm nervous for Friday's game. Our last win against Davidson was the 3OT thriller at the RC. They took almost 40 3's against Joe's tonight and made 46% of them. Our defense best be prepared against the triple.
Wow that was a hard fought game coming back after being down early. I've said it before and I'll say it again defense wins championships hopefully A10 championships.
This game was a toss up for me on the schedule, figured splitting with Mason wouldn't be the worst. Very happy to get this road...
I think I saw a quote in which he says that some of the coaches believe he could be an all conference player. Anyways, I'm excited that he's showing passion for his teammates.
Mean reversion is a wonderful thing. Great second half by the squad going 50% from deep and 59% from the field. Last couple free throws got a little sloppy but not much to write home about. With English being out and Dom having 0 points in 40 minutes our other guys stepped up. Bobby and Matt...
I absolutely HATE having English out of this game. This first half we could see how important he is as our glue guy. Not only his defense but his passing abilities and secondary scoring in the paint. Besides our horrendous 3pt shooting (1/8) which has been our achilles heel we only have 2...
If we had a tougher A10 schedule I might agree with this BUT the teams we play twice are GW, Mason, Duquesne, Fordham and Joe's. Based on that I'd be disappointed with going .500 in conference play. We could win 8 games in this group.
I know Bobby is included in the 3, but who are the other two? Matt Johnson and AJ? I'll give AJ the benefit of the doubt for now, I think he has a high ceiling but at the moment he has an important bench role in which his scoring is very volatile.
A few thoughts:
Why did Schmidt take Lofton, Welch and English out in the first half? This one really baffles me considering his tendencies
4 threes at a 20% clip wasn't gonna cut it
Free throws were the difference in this one. Both shot at a 77ish clip except they shot 21 more times than we...
This defensive rebounding is brutal. Two ghost calls on Shoon isn't helping anything. Reminder that we have as many free throws taken as we do threes...2.
Really confused that Schmidt gave Kyle, Dom and English a breather especially with 1 foul between the three of them. Never thought I'd see Johnson-Vasquez-English-Winston-Planutis out there tonight. Would've liked to extended our lead with them playing the entire half and rest later on.
