These are the worst bigs in the conference, the plan is clearly to hammer down low over and over again.

Where is Henry? I don't understand the substitution pattern.

Rhode Island is playing like George Mason today. That’s great news for us.

 

[sleeperpick]

Name a better combo than Oduro and 2 quick fouls for absolutely no reason. This nice young man needs to smarten up on defense. He could drop 30 today if he could just stop being a total hack

 

[tblack33]

Still some head scratching turnovers, but we are just head and shoulders way more talented than them across the board. I want to see walkons today.

 

[Yossarian]

I think I just counted five steps in the paint from a RI guy. Nothing called.

 

[sleeperpick]

Coop!!!!!

That was a pretty half against a team that looked like a high school squad. Kim had an excellent game plan to take advantage of 3 shitty big men and no guards that can shoot. Step on their throats Mason

Josh is playing great. Justyn looks like a legit A-10 starter. Only concern (and somebody brought it up last game), Polite looks hobbled to me.

Other than one really bad turnover Dinkins looked very good on both sides of the ball. I don’t think Ronnie is hurt but if he is let Dinkins cook with some Bailey on the side like that last amazing PNR with Henry

Oduro gonna eat today!

Cooper missing FT's is beyond me. Dude is 50 years old and should be a 90%FT shooter with all his experience.

Bailey.... stop turning the ball over!

Wow was that the most complete first half they've put together this season?

Yea, but should be expected with a veteran team against the worst team in the A-10.

2nd worst*

i really like what I saw from Dinkins in the first half. He really needs to get more minutes, especially if Ronnie’s not 100%.

It’s also promising to see Josh looking more decisive in the post. Their bigs are overmatched against him, but he seems to be reacting much quicker on passing out of the double team — especially on the quick pass out to Cooper for an open 3.

 

[TweederGMU]

GMUBrian alive? Or did he choke on a kernel?

 

[KAOriginal]

Only caught last few minutes of first and now.

It's less that RI is bad, but more that it seemed like we had a game plan and followed it.

 

[Yossarian]

Mason trying hard to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Plenty of time for them to pull it off.

 

[sleeperpick]

Hope Coach Kim is super nice to them in the huddle to not hurt anyone’s feelings for the last 4 mins of anything but basketball

 

[FreeGunston12]

Man, these refs have it out for VBJ. Trying to keep the game close?
