Have to wonder where the scoring will come from? I don't expect Femi to hang another 12 on them, but who knows. Maybe Horton makes a couple threes. Maybe we can get some more from Big John inside. One thing is for sure, this team's defense is becoming very solid. If we rebound a little better we could be right there at the end.

Need XJ, Sibande, and Horton to step up.

Horton playing pretty good man defense.

Now we just need him to make a few baskets.

Last game he scored 18 points, all in the second half. Something like that tonight would be nice. Really nice.

Agreed about the defense. I think that is what’s improved the most from the start of the season until now.

Femi playing good ball will really help now and even more down the road

 

[Millerton24]

I like jeffress letting game come to him, but its almost too much if that could even be a thing. I can't get a good read on him yet. I haven't seen much of him playing this year at all

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

I guess Johnson figured they couldn't call him for a third one.

 

[Millerton24]

X can get to the paint almost at will, but he needs to hit the jumper in the paint or dish it off.

 

[Pittisit4me]

XJ better let someone else shoot!

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

This is where we really miss Champ and Toney’s scoring.

 

[Millerton24]

Hes forcing it

 

[Protes]

Listening to Hillgrove. We're missing tons of opportunities this half.

 

[Pittisit4me]

They have to get it into his head don't dominate, facilitate!

The game is on TV.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Why is Drumgoole in the game?

 

[Protes]

The game is on TV.

Not for me in NJ.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

XJ - DAMN!

 

[HopeandChangeforAntoons]

Why is Drumgoole in the game?

Completely avoidable and stupid charge by him there.

 

[Millerton24]

They have to get it into his head don't dominate, facilitate!

Perfect way to put it

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

That was one that even a college ref couldn't screw up.

 

[Pittisit4me]

XJ - DAMN!

That is how u finish!

 

[Millerton24]

Big john got to fight for the ball, get on the floor

 

[Pittisit4me]

Defense isn't quite as good with AKC out of the game. Big John not quite as quick and having a little more trouble recovering off the hedge.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

I like the confidence in femi -
But he needs to simply lay the ball in-
No style points

Yep I agree. I don't think big John is totally in shape yet

 

[JD1976]

Horton has never seen a shot he didn’t like. No wonder he scored 16 in the CAA. Volume shooting.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

I think that was the first foul called on Coulibaly all season that he didn't complain about.

Lol

He is killing us tonight. Again.

1-7 from the field, 0-3 on threes. He leads the team at the moment with 29 minutes played and he's scored two points.

 

[Pittisit4me]

Defensive rebounding crushing us again. Boy do I wish we had Penny. I doubt they would be getting the offensive boards that they are.

Yup - need to reduce his minutes when he isn’t providing offense.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

And now O-thiel misses a foul shot.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

We are hell-bent on trying to get the ball into Hugley in the low post, even when there is no passing lane there at all.

 

[9nationalchampionships]

All things considered we played OK. I like the way this team is shaping up and I just hope that we can get champagne back quickly

 

[Pittisit4me]

one take away from this and the games before it is that we are going to lose 2-4 ACC games due to poor free throw shooting. It is just awful! When we are in a close game it is surely going to cost us.
