That's it. I was at the game and jumped into the chat room on occasion. It was mostly nuts and sounded just like the guys sitting behind me at the game. But we're all fans.
I know what you mean, Verne.
He's drawing 9 fouls per 40 minutes so far this season. There's only 3 other guys drawing that many that have played 3+ D1 games so far.
This is really exciting. I remember that’s when Kemba and Bazz both made their leaps as players. By being able to draw fouls. Even if they had off shooting nights they controlled games by getting to the line like we saw out of Newton. It’s a skill that the best have and everyone on the team can learn from. Especially Hawk and AJ.
You mean like the first team All big east RJ Cole?
Im just interested to see if Hawkins takes that big leap so many are expecting because Hawkins/Newton could he among the best backcourts in the country and if thats the case you have a shot at a special, special season because backcourts win in March.
And I'm in there trying to be positive and rooting for the guy!
Dolt? No. At the time I wrote that we had been clanging rushed threes, not finding open people, and let Buffalo come back to take a (brief) lead. It's okay to be unhappy with how a team is currently playing. I'll plead guilty to not anticipating the great turnaround in ball movement, shooting and defense that all came simultaneously toward the end of the first half. They cleaned up that sloppy play nicely, though it made a brief return in the second half leading to an annoyed Hurley timeout.
Exactly, team was playing like crap and Newton forced a couple of shots when he had guys running with him on the break.
Yep, Donyell did it...
