Two excellent games by Angel but those guys up in Rhode Island are playing at a ridiculous level right now.
Regardless, he Desi and Ish just dominated inside last night and deserve all the credit in the world.

They make a great point.
Angel is very emotional and if he's playing poorly he gets down on himself hurting the team.
Carrington and Whitehead often note in the post game pressers that they are always on him during games because he is so important to the team.

Agree 100%. Especially when Creighton made that run, I was hoping that they would dump it into Delgado. But that five to six minute period the team reverted back to chucking up shots. Grosselle hardly played last night with foul trouble in the first half and injured in the second half. Made a big difference in the game.
Angel wasn't establishing strong post position and often catching the ball about 10-15 feet from the tin. When that happened he was instantly doubled forcing pass outs to open teammates.
Nothing is better than when Angel has a smile on his face. The TV camera is catching that smile a lot lately. When Angel is happy the team plays at its best. Keep smiling Amgel
But the effort to get him the ball and for angel to fight on the boards in the first half got Grosselle his 3 early fouls.
Late in the game, around the 3 min mark AD was double teamed as soon as he caught the ball. This happened all night and was the CU game plan. Angel made a beautiful pass to Ish for the easy FG. It was possibly Angels best pass out if a double team I've seen him make as a Pirate. This isn't an easy thing and he made that pass on the money. He's getting better and better and making strides in his decisions and execution. Every time he touched the ball he was double teamed, and only had 1 TO. He made a lot of good passes all game, but the last one was a beauty.
Angel was great on both ends. He fought to keep their big from establishing down low. On 2 called plays, their guy got it low and scored easily but that was rare. Great rebounding and loved that pass to desi (also that great pass from desi). If he and Isaiah play at this level, we will be OK.
Wholeheartedly agree with the observation about Desi and Angel's passing. It is always good (and unfortunately too rare) to be watching a SHU game and comment out loud "Oh - nice pass." I think this team is rounding into form with Ish's 4 assists against SJU and the passing yesterday.
Go Pirates.
Go Pirates.
Remember when Willard said that Angel playing in the Pan Am games hurt him individually because he was away from SHU and now had to catch-up to the rest of his teammates.
Looks like he was right.
And I want to add to the above by saying Willard did note that he understood why Delgado did what he did as it was a great honor. But he was talking just from a SHU standpoint.
