Great write-up, G-20. You nailed it on Iona's strategy and JB's countermoves. As you noted, Howard's game is much improved, although not his PG skills. His scoring and driving abilities are strong, and he can certainly run point at times. But he's really not a natural distributor and gets into trouble and turns it over if he has to think too much. On the other hand, TB looks good bringing up the ball and he's obviously a threat at the top of the zone, where he has many options.

One positive you didn't mention that I LOVED in this game was the high-low that TB ran with Brissett. TB's drawing attention. And with Howard on the wing and bigs who can score, that opens up the middle so that Brissett can (and he did) bury that foul line jumper.

One negative you didn't mention is that we seem to have no idea how to run a P/R. That's been a B/B play for SU in the past. And we may get there. I'm hopeful, since we have guys actually feeding the post early in the season (a critically endangered part of our offense the last few years).

Good to read your game takes again. Personally, I like our team D, our positionless play, and I could even learn to like TB and FH as our 1/2. But a fourth (reliable) scorer better step up soon.
