GAME 11 Seton Hall: Annihilation

[MadRU]

Going into the game I thought Harper and Myles had to step up for us to win. They both did. Yeboah really stepped up.

Rewatching the game on dvr the announcers pointed out how good Caleb’s defense was, I agree.

Montez, played well both sides of the floor. Give him credit here.

Geo kept the flow of the game going. Made a few shots early and couple nice assists. From there he just need to let the game roll, not do anything crazy.

Carter gave us good minutes too. Allowed Myles to sit some and not get into foul trouble. This can not be overlooked.

Both Kwasi and Myles have stepped up big time. I think they complement each other well as starters.

Oh c’mon. Mathis? No way

I guess if you put 90% emphasis on O and 10% on D I get where you are coming from. For you to say no way tells me you arent watching closely to what happens on the defensive side of the court

When the score was 20-3, the feeling was wordless. Like all the pain through the years was washed away. Yeah, I went to church today.

Who was the most important defensive player in the 1st 16 minutes of the game?

You do know that Montez was on Powell most of the time.

I watched Kevin Willard's post game presser. He looked stunned. His most interesting comment was that he said he did not prepare his guys to play in the atmosphere at the RAC. Wow.

.which is stunning since RU upset them 2 year ago in a loud atmosphere

Yep. He said he didn't want them to be thinking about the environment. Guess that backfired.

So much for SHU fans thinking they would step on us and destroy us.

Great recap as always by BAC. After a full day to reflect after being in the RAC and watching the game on BTN+ all I can say is WOW. Some quick observations:

- The start from the tip to jump them like that kept the already rowdy crowd on them. Better yet we never went into the lull like we did with Wiscy and allowed them back in. Sign of a good team was to keep the foot on the pedal and knock them out.

-Everyone assumed their role on this team & I think the rotation and identity of each player is coming more into shape and better yet they are embracing it and realizing it. For once we have a team that has the ability to be balanced scoring and not dependent on 1 player. Yes we will still need Geo in some games but with Yeboah, Harper, Johnson and Caleb all of them can deliver.

- Team basketball on all ends of the floor and better yet loved to see 19 assists today. Really sharing on the offensive end led to some good looks and rarely did we see a forced last second shot which has plagued this team in the past where Geo is forced to take a low percentage step back long 2 or 3.

-Need to avoid any letdowns against Lafayette next weekend. Very solid Patriot league team. Need to impose our will and stay strong on defense before the holiday hits.
