Play of the game is probably Moores crazy rebound

When was the last time we had a guard with this many double doubles?

When was the last time ANYONE had a college guard with this many double doubles?

Minutes and not Grayer.

another huge board by Moore! Another double double 13 points and 10 boards.

pulled down against their center, too..and got fouled.

This about the only time I miss that previous coach. He would call a timeout right before the media timeout so I would have two timeouts back to back and have time to make it to the bathroom and back...

 

[GMU_DCU]

Cmon Moore make these FTs

Hells yeah! 8-5 in the OOC oughta be a given. 9-4 if we can win one of the next two. These guys are definitely exceeding my expectations.

But aren't we supposed to be panicking?

Newman's on-ball defense is very impressive.. It's going to keep him on the court

I had 7-6 but that northern Iowa game threw off my prognosis.

He's high arching 3 ball isn't bad either. Hope it continues to rain.

Sharpshooter who played for Bucknell under Paulsen. Bryson something - his last name is eluding me. He is either a coach or Head of BBall operations I think.

Love seeing the freshmen get big minutes and play well like they did today. Boyd is like a Marquise in training with the way he rebounds in traffic against bigger guys. Perimeter defense is looking much better lately too - UNI and now Mercer both hit only 25% from deep against us.

Also, Jalen had only 9 points - it's nice that he doesn't always have to carry the scoring load. Hopefully Otis, Marquise, and the freshmen stepping up will help keep him fresh for the long season ahead.

You could see the confidence building on every possession in the second half. Defense got more aggressive, shots started falling...so important.

From the only guy posting on the Mercer boards "How does a 6'2" guard get 12 rebounds on us?"
