Hartwell already pissing meoff

 

[GMUYoda]

So... first to 50 wins?

 

[GMUYoda]

3 on Gaines with 5 minutes left on the half... oduro playing with 2... so who's going to step up off the bench? Beuhler?

 

[GMUYoda]

Looks like XJ wants to be the man... nice

Me! I’m behind the bench and ready

How's your 3 point defense?

Buchanan is playing fine, but I really wish coach would go to Frazier. 4th most points per minute on the team, even if it is a small sample size against mostly backups.

 

[GMUYoda]

Now can we take this 13-2 run into the half and finish strong?

The main difference is Buchanan plays much better defense. And the announcers have been talking the whole time about how KE has been totally focused on defense recently.

MK sighting!!

Time out with 35 seconds left. KE is drawing up the "XJ hold the ball up top for 20 seconds and then whatever" play

Or the XJ gets blocked... then we TO... then give up a 3 at the buzzer to be only up 2 at the half

XJ took 8 of our 23 FGs that half. Not gonna play good basketball like that…

That's fine. We can play them both. Otis isn't too bad defensively.

Otis leads the team in steals per minute. 4th in blocks per minute. 5th in rebounds per minute.

We should be running a 7-man rotation with those two off the bench unless the game is in hand.

He should NEVER set foot on the court again. Switches EVERY time so he ends up on the big guy down low, then he is forced to run out and watch his guy drain a 3. Another brick in the wall offensively. Should have named a song after him.

Nice to see @mkaufman1 on the big screen!

To be up 2 with Oduro not playing up to par and Gaines in foul trouble......... Suck it up boys. You have a game to win. Knew it wouldn't be pretty, just leave with the W.

I think both Henry and Frazier not dressed, but on the bench. Please no more Hartwell.

Not disagreeing, I'd like to see Otis more. I thought you were saying he should play instead of BB.

 

[Patriotsince81]

I'm always amazed at the Fordham gym. Looks like an elementary school gym. Hard to believe they can recruit anyone to play there. Facilities are the worst.

I died laughing, he hadn’t been on the floor for 5 seconds when he got switched into their center on D. Don’t see how we can justify having him out there anymore. Also need to teach out dudes a bit more defensive toughness to fight through maybe one screen ever.

 

[Irish44j]

they're literally daring XJ to shoot on every single possession.
