Coleman

[SUfanNC]

It was nice to see Lydon feeding him. He seemed to get more confidence as he got a couple of buckets. I think he can play a nice part of this tournament

He may morph into Otis Hill just yet, or at least Andre Hawkins. Big task next game in Sabonis.

 

[EastCoast2]

Awesome to see him play well, and make strong moves around the basket. Grabbed some big rebounds also.

 

[SUfanNC]

Agreed. I think he just needs to play. He try's to hard early and gets fouls. He has to see how they call the game. He wants it so bad he seems to press for time

He had a very productive 2nd half. He was solid on the glass and got a few very tough rebounds. DC is so easy to root for. I hope he can keep giving us similar production against the tremendous big men of Gonzaga. Another big thing is he avoided foul trouble.

For the last 10 years or more, the best players on SU to feed the bigs are the other bigs. Love to see them connecting as many times as they did.

It won't happen in crunch time this year...but the ability to throw it down and rely on the inside game a bit takes the pressure off the shooters. If we had that I think our 4 shooters could do so much more damage.

I will say this -- if we win Friday and DC does well against Sabonis, he will have a place in 'Cuse lore.

 

[EastCoast2]

If Coleman can get 2 or 3 fouls on Sabonis, we win easily IMO

Forget his offense today (which was big), his interior defense and rebounding in the second half was outstanding and keyed the decisive run. Lydon was equally important, of course. That stretch of basketball after MTU took a brief lead may have been this team's most impressive of the season.

Sabonis is overrated. If he didn't have that last name nobody would have any idea who he is. He's a nice big man in a mid major conference, so he can be dangerous, but we're not watching David Robinson or anything.

Wiltjer is the guy the defense can't lose track of.

 

[SUfanNC]

Sabonis has good foot work. Coleman needs to learn to take his medicine every now and again. If we have a back line of him Lyndon and Roberson at times we should be rebounding like mad.

He backed up one of his worst halves of the season with one of his best. Couldnt be happier for the kid.

 

[MELOKEITH]

even when things aren't going his way he doesn't hang his head - he cheers his team on and waits for his next opportunity

 

[Cowtown]

8 points, 5 rebounds and only 2 fouls. Really nice job today because it took a ton of pressure off Lydon, who was a beast with 14 points, 6 blocks, 7 rebounds.

 

[SUfanNC]

I also like the fact that for a big he is a pretty good foul shooter which is nice down the stretch.

It kinda felt like we had "a" BMK back for me to cheer for today. Dont be confused, I didnt say BMK, I said "a" BMK. I think folks should get the reference to an underdog-type. Such a pleasure for me rooting for guys like that who don't get a lot of credit. Bleeping A, I'd love to see Coleman do something epic/heroic and get on One Shining Moment!
