Game 9- Bucknell

Woke up to finish the half.

Nice finish to the half. Not a great half and still put up 49 pts with a 13 pt lead. Scary.

Doesn't feel like a good half and yet still on pace for around 100.

It’s crazy to me how we have 7 players capable of going off and beating you every single night (both Mahaffey’, Tavari, Shammah, Sharron, Lyles and even Hardman).

 

Liking seeing Barre get more time. A true big that can play is going to be important in March.

Team felt super lazy and a step behind on defense until those last two minutes. Been worried the defense struggles are the same as last year. Could just be an effort issue but that’s a whole different problem. Groce is about to light them up

Smallish crowd tonight

Bucknell started to miss some open threes and that made all the difference so that we could pull ahead by 13.  Also, a nice steal by the Zips.  It looks like we have 9 man rotation with Stankovic being the odd man out right now.  I think he has to be more aggressive on defense.  Between Barre and Stankovic, I think it would be Barre since we need a rim protector.  I thought based on all the hoopla on this board that he was a starter for Duquesne.  Instead, he only average 4 points.  He seems to fit in well with this team.

Gotta find a way to get more students out to the game. Run a contest for an automatic A on a final or something. 😅

Barre had the heart condition flare up at Duquesne which seemingly really limited his availability. The hoopla surrounding him came from his highlight film when he committed. He's quite athletic and long; fits this system really well once he gets going.
