Politics here, “Hoosiers” talk on the bandwagon. We need another winning streak.
Okay I take it back. We can talk politics and movies instead of that game.

Yeah, this isn't HS anymore. If he pulls it off it's highlight reel stuff, but that move had a 10% chance of being successful. Bobby was immediately summoned to the scorers' table. And when he eventually came in his specialty was giving Fordham the basketball.Winston is wild. I mean, I want to be on his team in the Richter, but the behind the back dribble on a fast break was just crazy.
Ahh.. there's that royal we again.We (me, my 1-year old) were hoping that one of the freshmen went off.
He was so underrated, but is going to get his due if we keep seeing shit like last night. Bobby had a rough game. Winston was.. Winston. Freshman. He's actually picking it up a little but is a WIP.The 4 position is hurting us again. LD was damn good and spoiled me.
It wasnt a good night for the crowd who thought Welch should be benched.
FactLD was damn good
My post was more of a shot at the Bannedwagon. Shoon makes all the difference for him. When he is out there it forces the defense to collapse and the kick outs are there. VCU and Dayton gave no respect to our insides game (as they should not have) and that meant Welch and others didnt have the open looks they are used to.Admittedly I am typically in this crowd, especially when his jumper isn't falling (1 for his last 14 coming into tonight). At one point when we were 1-11 from 3 I probably called for his benching, and then he turned in his best game of the season against what is actually a quality defense. Just 2 turnovers in 40 minutes.
It was heading into a winnable stretch of games last year when Welch started to turn things up. Let's hope that's the case again this year.
Welch is 6'5", LD is 6'6", so he could be a slightly smaller version of what he did for us. We usually have a height advantage, so a smaller lineup like this would be basically making us equal to a lot of teams. I think it's worth trying out for a few minutes against a team like Mason. They're 11th in height in the A10, while we are 2nd.
In the first meeting with Mason they split minutes at center between Wilson/Calixte/Oduro. Against Davidson and URI (Mason's last two games) they played Wilson almost exclusively at the 4 with the Calixte/Oduro combo getting 38 and 29 minutes at center. GW might be the better opponent to try a small lineup, 6'7 Jamison Battle played most the minutes at the 4 last night for GW and he is almost a Welch clone in terms of playstyle.
If we aren't attacking the rim, our offense is garbage. It allows us to kick out for open 3s and also a drive-and-dish to Osun. I only really saw that in the first few minutes of the 2nd half.
A caveat I'd add is, attacking within the framework of the offense. There’s times we “attack” the rim by going far too much 1 on 1, too.
