Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4568789, member: 289"] - People were talking about SU finally getting the big win it needed. My attitude was that I’ll believe it when I see it. We haven’t made the plays necessary to win games like this all year and we finally did. I began believing when that half-court shot clanged off the rim. - One more win and we will have clinched a winning season. 21-10 (4-6) would look awfully good to the NCAA committee. - Jesse Edwards – he’s still having trouble getting past his fellow big men or scoring over them, (he was strictly a pick-and-roll guy before this year). But he can sure put up the number: 18 points, 16 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals. He was also 7 for 8 from the foul line. And the plays he made: the successful trip around Man Mountain Burns, leading to an “and one”. The save of the loose ball to Mintz for the three, the three he made himself at the shot clock buzzer and the charge he drew on Burns that fouled the big guy out. Talk about a “human highlight film”! - Judah Mintz wasn’t as spectacular as he usually tries to be and maybe that’s why he was much more effective. He hit that big three pointer after Jesse got the ball to him and he almost flipped it in while falling under the basket after a foul. But mostly he looked for this spots and tried to get the ball to his teammates. The result as 20 points on 7 for 12 shooting and 9 assists to 1 turnover, an All-American level performance. - Joe Girard lost his shooting touch in the second half and wound up 5 for 14 but he was the one who led the comeback from an 0-11 first half turn that put us behind 10-19 to give us the lead at halftime 35-31. - Maliq Brown had a Maliq Brown game, cleaning up other people’s missed, (5 for 6 from the field) to wind up with 10 points and 6 rebounds. - Chris Bell had a decent game with 11 points and 3 rebounds. Those games are coming more frequently now. (I still think Justin Taylor is better). - 21 fast break points to 13. Basketball like it oughta be. 16-10 (9-6 in conference) with 5+ to go LET’S GO ORANGE!!! [/QUOTE]
