Keep feeding Oduro. They cannot defend him. Great job this half of forcing it to our best scorer. No double teams either so he’s just killing these dudes

He’s in complete beast mode. Feed the beast

[Enforcer]

Amen. Keep feeding the big man!

I'm at my son's basketball practice and service isn't good enough to stream the game, but it looks like Oduro is having a hell of a game. How much of our entire team's offensive success and struggles are directly attributed to how well the other team handles Josh?

Madison took down UVA 52 - 49

We up 12. Why double in the paint there? Cover the shooters and let him try to score one on one.

He yelled at Oduro for it. And then Oduro takes that god awful three on a 2 v1 and he yelled at him again. I’m seeing a ton of coaching going on tonight. And some lessons learned. Finish the job now

Hate they have to wait 11 days until the next game; too bad they can't take this positive momentum down to Athens right away.

If you jinx this I swear

Frazier absolutely lost on that back screen and does Cooper have Covid or something. Brain fog all night

 

[mkaufman1]

I’ll take it. Not pretty but it doesn’t have to be

 

[GMUgemini]

Made it a little too hard but finally putting this one away.

 

[FreeGunston12]

Sloppy end.

I do want to point out, no minutes for Jones in the 2nd half. He didn't have it tonight. And Otis has either worked his way out of the doghouse or has gotten healthy. Either way, it certainly helps.

Wins a win, I’ll enjoy em as they come. Still some lingering issues that are a bit concerning on both ends of the floor. Need to figure out the sloppy passing and need to figure out something on defense that works with Hartwell on the floor if we are gonna play him for 20+ a game because right now he’s just being abused over and over again. It’s almost not even really his fault at this point, he is who he is as a defender, the staff and his teammates know that, maybe stop switching him onto forwards and centers and step up and hedge a damn ball screen. 10000x better basketball tonight than Saturday night.

Yeah. No fault to Hartwell but there were at least two occasions when he was in perfect position and just got shot right over for threes. Then he tried to contest a third such attempt and got that foul.

Oduro was a beast tonight, and he did it against a very physically strong team. I love his repertoire of shots, including the hook, two threes and many nifty moves in the paint.

It looks like Frazier finally earned some minutes (at Blake’s expense) and made the most of them. The kid has freakish athletic ability on both ends. We also got some good minutes from Gray and Henry.

The negative: Our execution down the stretch was abysmal. Cooper was terrible getting the ball in, and then we gave up the dunk on their perfectly-executed inbounds play.

All in all, I’m very happy. That was a very good win against a really, really good team.
