Drexel Postgame Thoughts...

Great 2nd half defensively. I think the foundation of this team this year might be defense. Team still developing their offensive identity. Next few games will be telling to see how we stack up against the best.

There is offensive talent to go with a defensive identity and I will take that over the opposite 10/10

I'm starting to see the upside of Zephir getting minutes. I was complaining about him getting minutes over Fennell a lot the last couple weeks. He was a bit of a spark plug defensively to help start our run in the second half. He also was a little bit of a stat stuffer in his 15 minutes. Importantly, he looks more confident and sure of his role than Fennell out there. If this continues, they might be in a battle for minutes all season long, which would be very good for team depth, which was tested again today.

That's a messed up box score. We scored 80, and obviously Noah missed that last shot Did you notice that the individual players' totals only added up to 75?

That's why I screen shotted it. Maybe Noah's family will see it.

He's a strong defender, has a good energy to his game.

If the Amazon Prime info screwed anyone out of watching the game, I apologize for my part in relaying that information. I honestly thought you'd get full access to Peacock Premium including sports with the free trial. I know what's it like to look forward to watching a game and then be shut out, so I hate that it happened to some.

I can't'add as much as others when it comes to strategy, but I try to provide reliable info when it come to things like this and I blew it today.

Same!

Red now has a tape of the defensive effort standard if a player doesn't give this effort, get them on the bench and get another player in. We have plenty of athletes to put players on the bench for bad defensive effort. Red can't let up on this team. He has to DEMAND this effort every single game.

How did Klein find a guy who could contribute for us who played 15 minutes a game at Montana State? Pretty amazing, really.

Nate George is just the real deal at the point. Yea he made a few boneheaded play but he just seems to have a killer instinct to go after the D when theyre struggling.

He needs to continue to attack the rim because he will get layups. Teams bigs don’t want to leave Kyle because of the lob dunk.

So does JJ come off the bench in Vegas? Does Kiyan go to the bench? I don’t think it can be Kingz.

It’ll be interesting see how he integrates into a team that’s already establishing roles and rhythm.

 

[RedtheGOB]

I really want to rewatch the 2nd and see Kyle dominate. Whatever Coach said to him at the half must've worked because he just has a beast mode when he's rolling.

No way JJ comes off the bench, but this is a good problem to have.

Hopefully he is ready to be eased in on Tuesday before Vegas.

Rippey and Smith are ideal for this defensive system. There exactly the type of players that can lock down players.

Randomly, wasn't JJ's best performance last year right when he came back after his injury?

 

[Cusefan0307]

The defense was fantastic.

Yeah I think it was Florida State. I think JJ will for sure help us in the half court offense which this team certainly needs. As long as we see JJ fit in the rhythm we have established defensively, I’m excited for his return!

Wasn't it the 2nd game of a doubleheader?

Yes. Might be the attendance for both games. I don't see any attendance listed for the first game Penn St/LaSalle.

 

[hoopsupstate]

JJ. Is an explosive athlete. He will help on offense. He’s second only to Kyle in athleticism.

 

[sufan59]

So Houston took the top spot that did belong to Syracuse in defensive efficiency in Bart Torvik (no preseason data recognized), though offensive efficiency went way up to 88. Overall, number 2 behind Gonzaga.

 

[FloridaCuse]

Comcast didn't make much if any money on the game. Unless it was done in order to show it on Peacock.

White is 100% more athletic than JJ.
