In Game: at Fordham
Re: In Game: at Fordham
I know everyone, most of all Reed, would prefer that he made more than 6 of the 20 FGs he attempted. But he did score 24 points and had 12 rebounds in the game.
Luka Brajkovic, A-10 player of the year, had 2 career games with 24+ points. Both in his senior year. Tyler Kalinoski, A-10 player of the year, had 3, all in his senior year.

I like Reed taking 20 shots. The only way we take a step up is if he stakes a step up. Keep hunting and getting better.

Re: In Game: at Fordham
I loved Grant racing down the court for the dunk with that red mouthpiece hanging out one side of his mouth. He dropped it on the floor under one of the baskets at one point in the first half, and just picked it up and stuffed it back in his mouth. The TV announcer commented that there were 100 years of bacteria on that court, and the color guy corrected him by pointing out that it's a new floor. Jared asked Grant about it in the post-game interview, and he said he couldn't decide what to do, stop and wash it off, or just put it back in. He finally decided that one choice was as bad as the other, so he put it back in and ran down the court. Funny.

Re: In Game: at Fordham
You don't want Reed taking 20 shots a game unless gets strong enough to finish through contact instead of flailing or being knocked off balance.
He did some good things. He drew fouls and made all his FTs. He had a great finish on the pass from Huffman.
As I've commented, he has good footwork and post moves. But he needs to finish around the basket; too often he does not.
He's not a good enough player to be taking 20 shots on a consistent basis. Skog's prolonged absence had a lot to do with his high volume of shots tonight.
A good team win that we had to have. So credit to Reed and everyone else that made it happen.

Re: In Game: at Fordham
Reed was very good in the last 10 minutes. Overall, he had an unbelievable strange shooter's Stat line. If I wanted to speculate, U would think that hw gets the "yips" around the rim. Purely between the ears, and nothing that a series of power dunks shouldn't be able to resolve. Loved the alley-oop.
Re: In Game: at Fordham
I was so shocked about Reed's dunk that I ignored the beautiful set-up. After the play, neither of them seemed to make a big deal out of this. Routine Play that they work on in practice al the time? To me, it seemed like a game-changer (season-changer?).85Wildcatsky wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 9:39 pmHow about Grant's pass on that play. I think he tossed it from the concession stand.
Re: In Game: at Fordham
Thought the refs really let a lot of stuff go last night until the end. I felt like almost all of their steals began with a body check or out of control lunge into our players. We don't often respond in kind. Thankfully, they called those as fouls at the end, which upset the Fordham fans (who, of course, expected them to continue to let it go).
Gutty, necessary win. Fordham looked better to me than advertised.

Re: In Game: at Fordham
In general I agree that the players tend to let stuff go, but I did see Moss back into a Fordham player hard enough on a slow transition that the Ram looked aggrieved. Looked intentional to my eye.

Grant was merely taking advantage of something I taught my kids when they dropped food on the floor: the five-second rule.DC69Wildcat wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 11:23 pmI loved Grant racing down the court for the dunk with that red mouthpiece hanging out one side of his mouth.

Deserves its own offseason thread.
