Nice Game From Sanders

[Hall-O-Daze]

With Coleman out with bronchitis.

Georgia showed some fight in the second half(or at least were more offensively efficient), and Sanders’ contribution to the game made the difference between winning very comfortably and the game being a nail biter. I’ve had enough nail biters this season so I definitely appreciate that.

Anyway, hopefully he is giving us a glimpse of what’s to come. Not only has this tournament given our seniors the opportunity to go out on a high note, it has also provided extra playing time to the players who will, more than likely, be leading this squad in the future. Great to see Sanders was more than up to the task of stepping up tonight. Hope to see some more of that Thursday!

Good to see him have something positive to build on. He’s got high and sort of elongated release on his shot but when he hits them they rip through the net.

In addition to his offense also playing much better defense.Hopefully he continues to develop into next season.

That is 2 good ones in a row for sanders. Looks like he found his confidence again

He needs to get in better shape. He looks pudgy and soft! Lose some weight and add muscle and speed

We all need to lose some weight, couple of pudgy and soft players are stars of this tournament season. Kid from Indiana State and also big kid from NC State. If Sanders can hit 3’s and play at his weight I don’t care what he looks like.

Sanders had a good game at Butler earlier this season so it sure seems he is comfortable there. I have been down in Sanders this season but he has definitely picked it up at the right time. Good for him.

That tends to happen when a shooter gets consistent minutes. He should have gotten more run this season.

Great to see him playing with confidence. We've been anxiously waiting to see him contribute. I hope his confidence continues - we need him Thursday. Good for him!!

Too bad SHU and Powell are on the outs. He could have been a mentor to sanders on how he transformed his body and how it helped his game.

 

[Gohall129]

he showed up with confidence to the game last night. That was missing much of the season.

We don’t need Sanders to be a Dawes level scorer. if he can give us 15/20 mpg with the offensive output he showed it’s a win for us having him in the rotation

I disagree, besides his shooting, his defense has stepped up the last couple of games...which we all know under Sha, if you don't play D, you don't see minutes.

You’d think that Mr. NY hitting a few jump shots wouldn’t be news worthy but here we are..

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Happy for JS confidence is what he needs. Seems like a good kid

 

[HallX2]

Could we see Coleman tomorrow night?. I’d think he’d want to be there. Hope he makes it. A couple of extra day’s rest may have helped.

IMO, his confidence was shot earlier. He looked like he didnt think he belonged at this level to me. Now is is playing like we hoped, and like we NEED right now.

Good for him and good for us.

If Coleman has bronchitis like they said on the broadcast last night there's zero chance of seeing him.

Remember M Powell in the beginning, not that i'm comparing Sanders to Powell from a skill set standpoint.

Yes and he lost like 60 pounds which proves my point

He’s already flown to Indy.

This dancing bear is swift on his feet and playing great. He may have lost weight, who knows. He may love to eat. I wouldn't change anything after watching him a few games.
