As posted before, just enjoying watching the Kid play.
37 minutes -- 20 points ; 13 assists ( some just amazing ) ; 8 rebounds : 2 steals ( I counted more)
ONE turnover !!!!
But when Xavier was cutting lead ( about 8 minutes left) 11 straight points to put X to sleep .
What not to enjoy ?

I know Lappas said it was 11 straight but it wasn’t. Dawes had a 3 mixed in.
Not sure if i ever saw him play better.
A great game. When X switched to zone Kadary picked them apart. He was a magician when our wings fed him the ball near the foul line.
lol, sleepy Lappas as always.
9 straight, Dawes 3, Kadary bucket. Great stretch as I believe KR assisted on the 3.
The recipe to disrupt our offense was to go to the zone. For the first time last night, Kadary had his way. The ball movement was beautiful. I also loved Sha’s strategy of rotating Kadary to the middle to allow him to make the decision with the ball. In the past it had been Dre. Worked to perfection.
I have to give our coach some credit, we all knew Kadary was special but Sha has really tapped into his talent and helped him shine on a more consistent basis. What a pleasure to have one of the best players in the country on our team. My jaw was dropping all night, he stays at this level and we go far this year. He makes it look easy! Him and Dawes were laser focused last night.
Last night he was amazing, and his passing was sensational. When he plays at this level, he raises the game for every other player. If he stays healthy, they will be a tough out the rest of the way.
Last night the team moved so well without the ball. They were cutting to the basket, running double screens and cutters and also back door cuts. The pick and roll was working with Bediako. When you have an elite distributor like Richmond it can pay big dividends but only if you have that off ball movement. Loved the zone strategy too. Fun night to watch the conductor and his band.

They had great movement on offense, guys going back and forth from under the basket to out pass the foul line and then back. Set a pick or cut back to the basket, great new look. We have ourselves a coach, NIL aside what kid doesn’t want to play for Sha. Money isn’t everything, never was and never will be for the right players. Read my last line carefully about right players. Our coach is a gift in a world of greed.
Not a fan of Lappas' constant babble. But I think in this case he was echoing what he was being told in his headset.
How many times through the years have we said here to optimize the offense you have to move the ball and trust your teammates? It's not rocket science. The best pass is the extra pass. If you don't believe that just ask Jay Wright.
isaiah whitehead highlights were posted yesterday . kadary hard numerous whitehead esque passes
I don’t think it was Lappas. I think it was the play-by-play guy.
Ball and player movement is the key. Again, how many times over the years have we preached the obvious here?
Kadary was great last night, but you have to wonder why you don't get a consistent effort from him. You see what he can do like last night, then you see games like Villanova where he looks like he'd rather be anywhere else. I get that we're all human, but such wild swings in focus can't happen at this level. Every player is going to have bad games every now and then, but it's your effort and focus in those bad games that separates the good ones from the great ones. I feel it's all or nothing with him, and that leads to the erratic performances and wild swings we've seen from this team since he is the most important player.
I remember watching an early game with my son when he was home for Thanksgiving. We were both excited to see the game. He went to NYU but is a lifelong SHU fan. When he was a kid, he was brainwashed to think the best player in the world was MJ, and Dehere was next lol. Anyway, the game starts, he watches a few possessions, and then asks "Dad, does anyone ever move?" I bet a bunch of us asked that same question. Gotta keep that John Mayal spirit going!
It seems like good teams try to get him out of his rhythm and he either shuts down completely or takes over the game. We're going to go as far as he takes us this year.
In watching this year, I feel like Kadary has better games when he looks to distribute early. Earlier in the BE conf games he would come out and do a pick and roll with Bediako to get our scoring going. Last night he found Dawes wide open and got going. Once other guys score it becomes a little easier for him to operate it seems.
He must have made 5 OMG assists. Then when we needed points in the second half they could not stop him.
It’s incredible how straightforward this is yet how difficult it’s been for this team to stick with at times. Plus the lack of depth kills is here bc you can’t turn to anyone when the starters are out of it for some reason.
It’s perplexing. But some guys are just like this. In fact it was a major storyline all offseason with the commitment he put in. I can’t imagine asking out of games without a specific injury. Whew.
