Say what you will about the opponent

[Day2]

The NCAA should reinstate JB’s 101 wins…in exchange for this one. He was MIA in the second half.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Jesse got involved late, but he has to be tougher. Colgate tossed him around too. If we play the Jonnies tomorrow night, our backcourt will have their hands full. This was a huge game for Bell, but he has to rebound a little. Our forwards were nowhere to be found on the boards.

 

[Orangezoo]

BTW, posted in the game thread, but JGIII and Mintz had 40 FGAs between them.

Yes, you read that right.

40.

Jesse needs to get caught up to last year. On both ends he has regressed to me.

 

[MikeSU02]

Brown will play in some games. JB massively values Bells shooting, and I can get it. It’s hard to have Benny and Brown together. If Brown plays it won’t be for Bell.

Brown needs to play in every game, imo.

Benny is a hot mess. Bell is going to be streaky at best. We need consistency and D and rebounds at least in the rotation.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Joes first half.
Mintz growing slowly.
Jesse fighting in parts.
Bell making shots.
Hima active in first half.
I’ll take that and I’ll take the W

4 rebounds in 74 mins for Benny and Bell. It’s just not acceptable

That’s the reason the game was close. Our forwards were terrible on the boards. JB will set the tone in the post game press conference.

This game showed that JB should be coaching until he is at least 85.

I loved Mintz waving off Joe when it counted at the end of OT. If he did that in regulation, there is no overtime. Joe scored well tonight, but he doesn’t make good decisions in those situations. He overestimates his abilities.

Benny was the only orange I could see in a gang of 4 or 5 white jerseys all night.

We have 2 guys who are alphas. You will see this a lot this year

 

[Brooky03]

I'm happy for the fans that sat through that and are going tomorrow we won.

I don't have many positives though 5 straight offensive boards with a chance to close out the game?

Like the announcer said, we were wayyy extended to contest those shots. If we don’t extend like that, they score there.

He‘s not surrounded by shooters, that’s the difference. He needs to get the ball in space and he’s not going to get it this year.

Benny's one jumper doesn't make up for

27-44…..rebounding numbers against Richmond!!!!

20 of those offensive.. albeit 5 in final sequence lol. Benny is the clear weak spot here

Yep, no question, and the shot selection by our guards. Which is what it is. Gonna have to deal with it for Joe and hope Mintz gets better with more experience (which I think he can)

Brown will play in some games. JB massively values Bells shooting, and I can get it. It’s hard to have Benny and Brown together. If Brown plays it won’t be for Bell.

Brown for Benny. At least SOME.

 

[Orangezoo]

He's not getting to his spot quick enough and he is a step slower. It wasn't just space. It was also being quick in making his move.

That’s the problem with both Girard and Williams. They both think they’re better than they are. If they would play within themselves, we would be a much better team.

 

[Day2]

Brown for Benny. At least SOME.

Where was Copeland? Hurt?

 

[MikeSU02]

Where was Copeland? Hurt?

No idea, was wondering what the deal is with that. In the first half, JT got a lot of burn, no time for Q.

 

[jdubs30]

Brown for Benny. At least SOME.

I definitely don’t disagree.

All I’m saying it’s pretty clear the 3 will be Bell/Taylor/Sy.

Brown will only play if Benny is benched

 

[Orangezoo]

This was a low end q2 win. It counts and we will take it. We need another one tomorrow. Doesn't do much for us except avoid an L.

I don’t see Joe as an alpha. He is a scorer and the free throw shooter we want at the end of the game, but he is not a one on one scorer like Judah.

Benny is a hot mess. Bell is going to be streaky at best. We need consistency and D and rebounds at least in the rotation.

Brown had one less rebound and 2 fewer points than Benny in 35 fewer minutes. Is that right? I can’t even.

 

[OrangeDW]

I hope we play Temple, because I don’t want to risk another loss to St. John’s or any BE team.

 

[Brooky03]

That’s the problem with both Girard and Williams. They both think they’re better than they are. If they would play within themselves, we would be a much better team.

If Girard played within himself tonight we lose by double digits.

You don’t get the good without the bad.

Brown and Copeland better get a lot of run tomorrow.
