Game 19: Fordham University, Saturday, January 19th, 7 PM, ESPN+

I just checked the box score. I can’t believe Otis got 17 points. Real sneaky.

Agreed. He's had a few games where it feels like he's filled up some stats towards the end. Part of it is a natural fall off in points because Kier is picking up so many more. Tonight he was visibly better in the second half. Gotta find a way to get him going early.

Reuter has a game thats unique. Looks like Paulsen is figuring out how he can use him

If he can chip in 8 points and some quality assists each game, especially against the zone, I'll consider it a solid contribution. Still not sure about starter status but I wasn't unhappy with how he played tonight.

I think Otis is at his best when he drives to the lane or in transition.

8 points on perfect shooting and 9 boards, and you're not unhappy.

How freaking magnanimous of you

 

[MasonSAE4]

perfect shooting

He was 3 for 3. Again, he's a solid player but he's way more of a role player than a game changer.

Had to watch the game on delay. Thought we actually played pretty well in this one. Fordham hit some really well contested shots, and we had to play against 40 minutes of zone defense. I can stand when we get open shots and miss more than we should - at least the ball is moving well and getting to the right areas.

Also thought Reuter did well boxing out and rebounding down the stretch. Showed some more fight tonight than I have noticed previously.

Gotta disagree on this one. In no way should a person who can’t jump over a piece of paper be on the floor to rebound at the end of the game. He got bailed out three times by kier and Greene at the end for rebounds he didn’t jump for and didn’t jump to try and block the air ball three turned missed ally oop. He plays far too much and is pretty damn horrible other than passing the ball

Are you talking about the time he knocked the ball out of the Fordham players hands and Kier took the rebound? Yeah. That was a good play by Reuter.

Big players make big plays and Otis is a big time player. Love the addition of miller. Big ups to JDS da gawd for his two big threes in the first. Gotta love these young dudes balling. Hartwell will be great soon too

Lol! This made me laugh! Thank you! Now I can go sleep after a gritty win!

Was it final two minutes. Because I am talking to the rebound that kier boxed him out on since he doesn’t jump and skied for it

Also, no one talking about how Reuter was really effective breaking the zone in the second half. It’s a shame we stopped looking for him for long stretches and kept settling for 3s. He might have had 15 points if we kept feeding him at the elbow.

He also had a respectable game on the defensive side.

My impression was that after Reuter's successes, Fordham started collapsing hard on him. Resulted in a turnover or two. Afterwards it didn't seem like he was as open in the middle of the zone and we missed a boatload of 3's.

Amen I’m not sure what anyone else was watching. Kier broke the zone. Clear as day.

Any video of Fordham coaches post game?? He must have been sick!,

He is sick. He’s fired after the season. Horrible horrible coach and has been his entire tenure there. Don’t know he landed honor and their 4 star freshman center that fouled way too much

Clean simple
And effective - how many time we would
Run around and try to penetrate to the hole
Only resulting in a ball
Rimming out or a complete miss banging into the floor
