Looking forward to this one.
Hoping our Bigs are up to the task of playing big vs. Spellman.
Go PC

So far so good. We've missed a couple we normally hit but we're controlling the pace.

5 fouls to 1 thus far. Having two on Kyron is a particular concern.
Like the way we're playing right now. Composed
Nova's come out cold. Might our length be bothering them?

22-15
We are outrebounding them (15-11)and outshooting them from the outside (4-8 vs. 2-9).
Fouls continue to pile up however.

82 I think our length and interchangeable parts are giving them fits. We mirror them well and our guys have come into this game loose and confident.

Nova is making their run too. We need to hold on until we get Cartwright back for the 2nd half.

I thought that Maliek White was playing well, and surprised that MAL and Drew have been getting the minutes since he left the court. Wondering if his knee is still bothering him?
Hopefully, Kyron can kick-start our offensive flow in the 2nd half. We need him distributing, and need Lindsey (3pts), Diallo (4pts) and Jackson (0pts) picking it up on the offensive end. Won't win this game on Kyron and Rodney's back alone.

During the half-time show on Fox, Donny Marshall taking shots at the ticky-tack fouls that the refs are calling. Taking both teams out of their offensive flow.

Agree on White. MAL is a huge liability. Even on Lindsay’s 3 that was an awful take to the hoop

We aren't beating #1 with MAL and Edwards seeing minutes. Maybe Ed is trying to bring White along slowly.
I thought the team played hard. Missed a lot of easy ones, especially when we had a few chances to push the lead to double digits.
Cartwright was left on the bench too long. If we are going to pull an upset, you have to take the risk and play him with two fouls. Might as well, because we aren't winning if he's on the bench for 10+ minutes anyway.

Missed FTs, especially on the 1and1, driving into the defense for turnovers, 2 early fouls on Kyron....contribute to bad finish after a good start...
They did have a number of shots go in and out but you knew Nova would not continue to clank the rim....
Thought Wright's game plan to have Brunson go after Kryon early was spot on, get him in foul trouble to cut off the guy that makes the Friars go...
Start of the second half....critical....
Rodney, please don't put the ball on the floor against this team...

Man. I know it goes both ways, but the foul called on Jalen that led to the 4-pt play was not visible to me on replay, and Watson's foul on Spellman appeared to be on-the-floor.

FTs and turnovers...FTs and turnovers... Friars have missed a lot of easy shots... Jalen is cold in this game....not a game we can afford him to miss 3 pointers...
