I don't get this "Powell treatment" stuff. Mathis ran him over and gave him a concussion at the beginning of the game, so obviously he wasn't himself and later left the game. And before he left, Mathis didn't do anything extraordinary defending Powell.
Lafayette
- Thread starter ru_upstate
- Start date
Referring to what the gameplan was on Powell, not what actually went down.
I will say that Lafayette's schedule would make even Steve Pikiell blush. The only two times they've played high-major teams the last two years they've gotten run out of the building. 104-57 by a great Villanova team and 90-63 by a not-so-great UConn team.
So we just need to flex our athleticism and not make it a shooting contest.

wow. impressive
In a small 2 game sample size against TOP 100 teams his numbers werent good. I sill put more weight in the total numbers which are quite gaudy
And one of those 2 Top 100 games (Nova) was his first ever game as a true freshman, coming off an ankle injury that kept him out the first two games of the season. So, very little to go on vs. higher level competition.
Still, definitely not a guy you want to leave open from behind the arc, no matter who he's playing. He's a career 172/371 (.464) through 2+ seasons.... and since he became a full-time starter toward the end of his freshman year he's been 129/265 (.487). Certainly not shy about pulling the trigger, either, with 5.87 attempts per game since the start of last year (7.64 attempts per 40 min).
Really need to just stay up under his chin and not let him get any clean looks.
This actually sounds like a guy you want to guard with length and use a guy that will get through screens. Mulcahy next year might be able to guard him. This year it sounds like a MathisYoung production.
I know it was against DII, but I'd say his shooting % last night was pretty good. LOL!

Nice. I live on Pershing Avenue in New Rochelle. Fun fact: the street was formerly named Germania Avenue. Then WWI broke out and the city fathers decided a name change was in order. True story.Indeed.
