-          It doesn’t seem to matter who surrenders the 13 point lead – we still win.

-          Oshae Brissett was 16 for 16 from the foul line. Jonny Flynn was the same in the 6OT game. Kid Kohls was once 17 for 17. Oshae shot poorly from the field (4 of 11) but wound up with All-America numbers anyway: 25 points 8 rebounds.

-          Let’s face it: Frank Howard will never be perfect but he produces number and makes big shots, including the trey that gave us the lead for good, (right after Wes Clark picked his pocket to make it 67-68). He’s kind of the reverse Tyler Ennis, who was so careful that he slowed everything down but never made mistakes. As long as we have a productive point guard.

-          Tyus Battle was heavily defended and only got 8 shots off. But he scored 13 points and diversified his game with 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals.

-          Matthew Moyer nearly had a double-double with 12 points and 9 rebounds. He then sat on the bench while Marek Dolejai scored 6 points and grabbed 4 rebounds while getting 2 assists and a steal. Those guys share the small forward position. I’ll take 18 points and 13 rebounds from it any night.

-          Paschal Chukwu was worked over inside by the shorter but stronger Nick Perkins (6-8 225). But he did score 5 points, grab 5 rebounds and blocked 8 shots.

-          We sustained an 8-22 second half run and an 0-6 run that wiped out a 67-62 lead. It didn’t phase our team and SU closed the game on an 14-6 run with Brissett draining free throws. We made the plays to win that game.  That’s what it’s all about this season. We aren’t going to win by 20 points but we aren’t going to lose by 20 points. Just make the plays to win the game!

10-1 with 20+ to go

LET’S GO ORANGE!
