Plus, how the Friars adjusted to Milwaukee throwing them a giant curveball, Josh Oduro's big second half, Devin Carter's early impact, Corey Floyd's high-wire act, and more.
The alley oops last night brought me back to watching Ernie D. and Marvin Barnes executing many of theirs on a regular basis. Ernie D., in addition to being a magnificient ball handler, had a pin point passing ability. The other Big East teams I've watched are rolling over their opponents (except DePaul). Last night's game was a nice challenge for the Friars who rose to the occasion. Go Friars!
I think playing in tough games in the preseason will only make us better. Early season blowouts will not help us once we get in the Big East. Bryce Hopkins will be fine. He’s not going to sneak up on anybody this year. Many teams will key the defense on him, which will only open up opportunities for the young kids. Thanks Kevin as usual for a great summary.
You touched all the bases Kfar in this terrific summary. I have to believe our guys will shoot better than they have so far shown. As Sonsr said post game, if you can’t put the ball in the basket nothing else matters
