Lots of empty seats behind the announcers on tv but this could have been recorded earlier.

Wouldn't mind the subbing if our two best players were getting 30+ min per game.

But we've looked pretty good on both ends so far

Etou is playing with a ton of confidence. Henderson found a rhythm and has hit 3 3’s in a row now. Taplin is making some great passes and we’re breaking down the press with ease.

We need to quit leaving Peter Pan (Capuano) alone. He’s 6’ nothing, slow, and can’t jump. He’s on the court for 1 reason only. Stick a man in his face and don’t let him catch the ball.

Coach Henderson had the defense really talking and aggressive the first half. Best yet.

They were moving their feet and really closing out. Only noticed a couple of break downs but pretty good overall.

The Manhattan guy was screaming in Taplin's face on the inbounds. Taplin got the ball back, crossed him over and scored right over him. Love it
Our section is trying to scream back at him. He gets these really big possessed eyes when he does it as well

We had a play scheduled today so I missed the first half but it looks like we played well.

I hope we keep extending the defense in future games. We seem to play much better overall when we defend away from the basket rather than packing it in.

We have completely lost all focus. One more pass just goes through someone’s hands I’m gonna lose it. D has gotten complacent and lazy which doesn’t go well with them hitting shots.

The corner 3 is wide open every time Etou touches the ball anywhere close to the paint. Korita was the negotiation of the last one.

Refs changed this half and are now calling every little touch a foul on us. Artisan got elbowed in the face, he got called for the foul. Scott got punched and they called him for traveling. Ridiculous and all because they probably realized Manhattan didn’t get into the bonus in the 1st half.

Yeah I'm not sure I understand the travel calls where guys are just pushed off their pivot foot

That’s a hot take. Igbanu is a player. Artison is better than last year but still does goofy things.

I just don’t know what his deal is this year... it’s like he’s regressed. Hopefully he gets back to playing to his ability level. I just appreciate the effort from geno, he always hustles.

Yep, he had the screamin' Emily Rose stare down going on. Was waiting for his head to start spinning.

Etou gets wrapped up in making the play a lot and doesn't have any perimeter vision or expect guys to be open.

Yes but somehow he is still finding a way to score this season. Last year he turned it over or missed shots in a lot of those situations. Or drafted out of the game. Drastic improvement this season.

In Etou’s defense he had Polly Wantactacker spinning around so much in he paint yesterday it was almost comical. And he was buttery smooth with that elbow jumper. What I didn’t see Etou do yesterday was force 3 pt shots. Actually, we didn’t force many 3 pointers yesterday. Even Scott made a great fake and drive yesterday.
