-	I wanted SU to “win the day”, meaning that the combined scores of the football game and the basketball game would favor the orange. It did 108-97.

-	The team came out en fuego, especially Alan Griffin, who was throwing in three pointers like they were lay-ups. Later Joe Girard finally got going. He wound up with 6 treys. It blew the game open. They wound up with 23 and 21 points, respectively. Girard’s outburst should si9lence his critics for the moment. We’ve got a team with several players who can have big games. We don’t need to have them all have big games every time out. 3-4 guys playing well will be enough in most games.

-	We had some defenses lapses late in the half but came back strong in the second half, holding Rider to 6 points in the first 11 minutes and shutting off any hope of a come-back.

-	We owned the boards, as we should have, 38-24.

-	I didn’t think Quincy Guerrier was having a good game but he wound up with 11p/7r/3a anyway. That’s a good sign – it means he was working it all the time, finding ways to make contributions even he had a few awkward plays.

-	John Bol Ajak had a beautiful wrap-around pass the Frank Anselem. Who knew he could do that?

-	The new guys: Kadary Richmond had 7p/7r/6a.  Woody Newton had 9 points, all on treys and 8 rebounds. Frank Anselem had 6P/2R/2s/1B and made 4 of 5 free throws. And they all can play defense…defense..defense….

3-0 with 25+ to go

LET’S GO ORANGE!!!
