My Take

did anyone else notice this exchange? Thought it was kind of surprising to see a guy with not much experience yelling at a guy with a lot. But I think it shows how much the players have bought into playing quality defense. They are policing themselves.

I think it is pretty awesome.

it’s awesome and essential. I don’t see red getting up in their grill, so someone else has to light that fire. Doesn’t matter who as long as they respect and hold each other accountable.

Agree.

But I wanted to discuss something that happened after a break in play. I think it was fairly late in the first half but it could have been early in the second.

Anyway, as the SU players walked off the court to their bench, Freeman walked over to George and started talking to him animatedly. He looked angry and It looked as though he was yelling at him.

Based on the timing, I suspect he was discussimg Nate’s defense, or lack there of.

SU had jus given up two easy baskets. One was when a Drexel player released early and got an Easter unchallenged layup. I believe it was George who was responsible for rotating back to prevent cherry picking baskets on the play. Then I think on their next possession, George lost his man and gave him a wide open 15 foot baseline jumper (it was their little guy), which he nailed.

Yes. It was on the broadcast. The announcers even commented on it.

rebounds that are gained in the box out areas you need to clean up. But they were missing many 3s bouncing out to 10-12 ft and we had good position but that also means they will be closer to the ball many times. Lets just control the routine rebounds and then see if we can get better at the long ones.
