In no particular order
1. Atmosphere
Excellent. Loud and proud throughout the arena. Players noted that in the post game
2. Two superheroes beat one
Batman (Ed Croswell) had Robin (Bryce Hopkins). Richmond was a one man show
3. Harris
How does a player with these stats: 1-8 from the arc, 2 T/O to no assists, 5 points and a team worse plus minus of -14 play the most minutes (34:16)
4. Can't throw the ball in the ocean from the pier
Dawes and Harris shot 3-16 from the arc
5. Best player in the league
Richmond, but only when he wants to be
6. Stats don't lie
When was the last time a Big East player was +15 in a loss
7. Turning point part 1
Providence almost immediately wiping out SHU's 9 point halftime lead to begin the second stanza
8. Turning point part 2
When Richmond picked up his 4th foul and had to go to the bench late
9. Why
As in what purpose is the point of keeping Richmond on the bench while Providence takes over the game down the stretch. By the time he comes back it's too late
BTW, Richmond finished the game with those same 4 fouls
10. Physicality
The Hall has it on the wings but not inside and that was the difference in the game
11. He is what he is
3rd poor offensive game in a row from Samuel. As many points as fouls
12. Speaking of Samuel
Possibly the worst charge call in the conference this year down low early in the game. Maybe one ref in a 100 calls that a charge and he was officiating the game
13. Really
Dre Davis had a quiet game yet he was a +10 during his 27 minutes on the court
14. Curious
There's no better interview in the league than Ed Cooley but for some reason despite the request he did not show in the post game
15. Nice try
Jerry Carino did his best to get an injury update forming questions in multiple ways, but Sha simply repeated the same refrain, he didn't know and best to ask Tony Testa
16. BTW
The next time the media gets a chance to talk to Tony Testa will be the first time
17. Left out
Yes, Ndefo actually made a move to his left and guess what, he scored an easy basket
18. Where's the beef
When a guard (Richmond) has 3 more rebounds than Samuel, Ndefo, Tae Davis, and Jackson combined bad things are going to happen
19 40 minutes
Holloway was furious in the blowout W against Drexel that the team came out with no passion in the second half. It didn't matter. Yesterday however it did
20. Animal alert
SHU needs one down low in the worst way and FWIW watching Yetna walking around....if you didn't know he was injured you wouldn't know he was injured. So there's hope
