JB presser explains why not Triche at end...interesting

[PeteCalvin]

That's exactly right. Allen Griffin remains one of my all-time favorite players for this program because of his perseverance in the face of an incredibly difficult junior year, followed by his flat-out key performance as a senior. I have my favorites (including Hakim Warrick and some others), but Griff is right up near the top of Mt. Everest with this program.

I still remember Griffin's game in the Garden where he torched the Johnnies. The Griff has a warm place in my SU heart and always will. I remember seeing him in the fall of 2003 at a charity event with the team. It was a privilege to hang with him for a few minutes and say how much I appreciated his play for SU and wish him well.

Was that the OT game in which Griffin had a triple-double?

nothing against b. triche ( cuz frankly i'd much rather have his ft #'s out there to close) but perhaps maybe his teammates and jb just trust scoop more down the stretch and want him out there on the floor. linus +blanket.

I think Orangeyes answered this. Trying to milk the clock with a 4-6 pt lead, JB wanted his two best ball handlers on the floor.

"On another note, I ran into Brandon Triche's dad Melvin at halftime. I told him to tell Brandon to keep on firing away. He said, I wish his hand would heal, he is having so much trouble handling the ball."

Except that the guy with the 2 good hands is more susceptible to the turnover even if only slightly and is way behind the other 2 in both FT shooting and defense.
