Moving quickly. Six field goals by six different players. Powell shot continues to be off but looks unlikely to matter.

But Powell's struggles will matter in our next 3 games. We need him to start getting hot!

 

[hbkmyr]

He’s going down shooting hell or high water

 

[NYC Pirate]

Everything good so far.,Myles has had a few in and outs including the drive.

SJU? Rough start.

18-6 under 10 minutes.

 

[NYC Pirate]

SJU has been so bad on offense. Hope we don’t lose defensive intensity.

 

[P615007]

Looking good . Like a tournament team.

 

[bigraym]

Sandro continues to play well in just about every aspect of play.

 

[rickj_65]

Mamu is a beast so far! Love what I’m seeing from him

Would be nice, but I'm not seeing it. Think better would be to decrease his volume and look for him to be one of a few primary offensive contributors.

Shavar playing great d

 

[bigraym]

Team as a whole looks tremendous, but Johnnies help that look

 

[NYC Pirate]

27-13 under 8 minutes. Have to keep intensity in a game like this and that’s tough. Great energy by SHU getting the ball inside for easy hoops.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Everything going right so far. Up 14

 

[bigraym]

Build momentum for Marquette, next Saturday

You could build a house with the bricks SJU has shot so far today.

I was thinking about his tips and steals

or at least a 3 car garage...

30-17 just over 3 minutes.. Willard has to make sure right combo of guys out there to maintain the lead.

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

One of those games you should be up alot more than you ar .

 

[hbkmyr]

Jerry Palm has Nova as a 2 and Seton Hall and Creighton as 3 seeds?

Sandro should have 20 easy today

 

[chickenbox]

KW playing a lot of guys today

 

[bigraym]

Shavar

 

[chickenbox]

Switch to zone is when our offense stalled.

Shavar the zone buster

 

[chickenbox]

Ike getting as much or more burn than Ro thus far

 

[flconticello]

Jerry Palm has Nova as a 2 and Seton Hall and Creighton as 3 seeds?

Here's clueless

 

[NYC Pirate]

36-22 at the half. SJU hung around a bit., Solid half for the most part.

I would like to have seen a few more minutes for a Samuel. Powell was assertive but missed quite a few. Hopefully he will hit some in the second.

Overall, we need more Mamu Quincy and Gill offensively and less Powell. Can’t believe I’m saying that but the percentages are becoming impossible to ignore or explain away at this point.

 

[jim34238]

WE have to get away from the jump shots and pound the ball inside to Mamu & Gill for easy 2's

Announcers starting to catch up to this as well. Call him a streaky shooter now instead of a good or great one. Seth Davis saying he has been running on fumes the past few weeks. Credit to others that we don't need Powell to carry the team for it to be successful. In fact, getting away from that mindset increases our chances for success.

 

[jim34238]

We are being out rebounded. have to pick that up.

 

[jim34238]

26% from 3 discusting

Their frequent airballs make it harder to be in rebounding position

 

[chickenbox]

Powell asleep. Won't be surprised to see him sit.

 

[JTSHU]

Myles deep 3s and step backs just have to stop. They arent efficient and are becoming just like turnovers. We look better going inside

 

[chickenbox]

Powell asleep. Won't be surprised to see him sit.

Two nice assists

 

[IronKaz1]

Do we have a week off after today?

 

[Jerry1992]

Playing well considering Powell 0-6 from three. Got to get him going for last three games and post season. He is passing ball nicely but need him to shoot better to make a deep run in March. Hope he hits a few in second half.

 

[JTSHU]

His playmaking has been good. He needs a pull up and end the poor shot selection

 

[hbkmyr]

SJU front line averages about 6’2” and are abusing the boards
