Again, I know it hasn’t been against the toughest competition these two games, but Oduro is much more ready than advertised.

 

[Herndon]

This is how it is supposed to look

 

[Herndon]

You know, we all talk about Mar on offense, not having a position and how that presents a problem.

He also doesn't really have a position on defense, and I think that's a good thing. He's quick enough and long enough to bother wings, and big enough to bother some smaller posts. He's got the potential to be kind of good multi-position versatile defender

 

[MasonSAE4]

Did Hartwell travel on that last play, or was he fouled? Hard to tell from the camera angle.

I’m on a bus watching a shitty stream so kinda hard to say. We do (justifiably) get called for it a lot in other games. I’d be curious to see if we’re as far above the mean as I would guess, but I’m too lazy to look it up.

 

[GMUgemini]

That's not exactly how you're supposed to close a half...

 

[Herndon]

Yeah, but it was because XJ was a little bit over aggressive gambling on the steal. I can live with him being a little bit over aggressive. That kid plays with an edge, and I like it

I meant, combined with the charge call on the other side that gave them that chance in the first place.

This isn’t news, but Paulsen is awful; AWFUL, at drawing up end of game/half plays.

 

[Falco]

Lots to like! But please take the clipboard away from Paulsen with end of game/half situations.

 

[GMUgemini]

I mean, I would have preferred Hartwell just holding on to the ball and jacking up a long 3 at the buzzer.

 

[GSII]

Hartwell Hartwell Hartwell. Love that kid. I said he should of started last year. Some even questioned him starting this yr. F u.

 

[MasonSAE4]

Nice having five defenders out there at once. Fun to watch the pressure.

 

[GMUgemini]

We never make the pass on the pick and roll even when it's open.

 

[FreeGunston12]

We never make the pass on the pick and roll even when it's open.

Notice that too. And when the pickers slip the screen, the ball handlers dribble right at them. Drives me crazy.

 

[Falco]

Bring Mar back in. He’s good at defending the 3 and keep daddy on the bench. He’s not ready yet

 

[GMUgemini]

That was some moxie from Oduro going for that 3...almost rattled down, too.

 

[mkaufman1]

This oduro kid can play

 

[FreeGunston12]

Haven’t seen much of Calixte tonight. What’s going on there? Just better options tonight?

 

[GreenLantern]

This Hartwell kid can play!

 

[Falco]

That was a fun game to watch!
