What a difference Melo makes in the team chemistry & cohesiveness. He came back & looked like he didn't miss a beat except for a little bit in the first minute or two.
 
I would give him & MCW my co-players of the game, both had tremendous impacts. MCW's early treys really opened things up & got us going. MCW played great throughout. I was surprised Jimmy took him out in the first half when he was hot &  dominating the game. I didn't get that substitution, but anyways, MCW got a nice second half run & picked up where he left off.
 
I think MCW deserves a shot in the rotation against all comers & not just against the mid-pack & weaker teams. He has earned at least a shot at some minutes come Hoya time.
 
CJ had a really impressive outing & Dion played very solid as well. Nice backup 5 minutes from both Rak & BMK.  Rak hit the glass very strongly.
 
Kris played very solidly all around getting points, boards, and dimes. Still in an outside shooting slump.
 
Scoop had a few to many TOs, but he shot well & dished well.
 
James is still in a shooting slump & I disliked his needless slap at the end. How can you do that when they aren't even running a play & the clock is winding down ???
 
Brandon is back to leaning in on his shots. When he does that he shoots about 10%, when he goes up straight & strong he shoots about 40% from long range. He has just got to break that bad habit once & for all. Today we did not need him, but there will be other games when he will have to play well for us to win - see the WVU game.
