- That’s what an early-season SU game is supposed to look like. We use size, athletic ability, talent and depth to pull ahead and keep building the lead until all the drama is removed form the game and we can concentrate on the progress of individual players.
- I’m starting to believe in Judah Mintz as a point guard. He floated through the Northeastern defense as if it wasn’t there and scored 18 points on 8 for 13 shooting. But he used his offense to set up passes to teammates for 5 assists and no turnovers.
- Which is good because Joe Girard had got to be out there. He was 5 for 9 from three point range and again led the team with 21 points, the fourth time he’s been our leading scorer in 5 games, (including the exhibitions). It would have been 5 for 5 except he didn’t shoot well vs. Colgate. Joe had 5 of the 6 treys in this game. He’s 18/39 on the year so far. Our other outside threats, Chris Bell and Justin Taylor, are 6 for 24. Mintz is 4 for 11. He c an hit one occasionally but Joe is the big gun and you could see what’s ahead for him as NE had two guys on him for much of the game. He’s going to be the Sean Tucker of the basketball team- the guy the other team doesn’t want to beat them.
- Joe’s shooting and Judah’s penetration and passing opened things up for Jesse Edwards who played the way we’d hoped to see him play against an over-matched opponent. He not only got some dunks off the pick and roll but he also maneuvered around people in the post and used his height to reach over them to make plays. He scored 19 points on 8 for 10 shooting with 7 rebounds, (but strangely, no blocks), in 24 minutes.
- Benny Williams concentrated on going to the basket to score. After an 0 for 5 start he hit his last three shots to score 7 points, grab 8 rebounds and make 3 steals.
- Maliq Brown looked good scoring 4 points, two on a breakaway steal. He almost had another but couldn’t run the ball down. He filled the stat sheet with 4 rebs, and assist and a block.
- Jason Taylor scored 5 points, pulled down 3 rebounds and also had one each of assists, blocks and steals in 14 minutes.
2-1 with 28+ to go
LET’S GO ORANGE!!!
