He's my favorite freshman we've ever had. He's talented enough to take over games without trying to. Everything he does is in the flow of the game and within the team concept. He's a joy to watch.

Love how we're taking quality shots to finish half. Much better than last years dribble, dribble throw it up and hope.

We've had a problem with giving up huge runs to the other team the last couple of years. It's going to be very difficult to pull that off this year. Better defensively and they make such good decisions the offensive side that they end up with good looks.

Watch Seton Hall go on a 15-2 run in the 2nd after I post this

Too many turnovers & fouls.

Love everything about this team. Still gotta clean up the turnovers and defensive lapses especially in transition. But our team has the mindset to accept coaching and keep getting better.

Guys, we are having a love fest over the team right now. Don't come in here with that turnover talk

His perimeter shooting is streaky but that never affects his effort in other areas of his game and the other little things he does to help the team win.

What's the story with EJ? Is he hurt?
DanaDane

I kinda attribute that to playing 2 easy teams last week, so you come into a game against a more talented, physical team with better athletes and faster hands and you're not as ready. Let's see if we adjust at the half and clean up in the second half now that we recognize the changes.

I think the changes to the block/charge rule have made defending the paint -- particularly in transition -- significantly more difficult. You can attack the rim now without any fear of a help side defender sliding in underneath you for the charge.

It's definitely made college ball a prettier game to watch. I'm really glad they made the changes they did. CBB desperately needed better freedom of movement on offense.

Seton Hall is a well-coached squad. We need to make a little run here and put them away, otherwise this is going to be closer than we're comfortable with late.
DanaDane

Seems so odd to have a guy in the middle who actually has skills on offense.

Missi gets better every game. That kid is going to be a star before it's all said and done.

Richmond is having a big second half. He's had some tough finishes.
DanaDane

Lotta teams are gonna try backing us down in the paint. Seton Hall obviously watched the Florida tape. That's one area we've struggled this year.

Suddenly too much dribbling, not enough passing = forced shots

Season Hall D tightened up this half.

And we're passing up good shots for worse, tougher shots.

We're letting them slow us down too much. Need to keep the tempo up, but play in control. Too many careless turnovers in the first half kept this from being a 15-20 point game at the half.

Big 3 for RayJ. He's become the stopper for this squad.

There you go. 3 quick passes and an open 3 for RayJ. Seton Hall's defense has struggled when we hit quick passes. They're physical enough to stop the dribbling and penetration.

Hard disagree. He's the best in the world at what he does.
