Why I wanted to be patient with Benny and give him every opportunity possible. His ceiling is by far the highest of any of our forwards. If he is locked in an playing well it goes a long way on both ends of the floor.
If he continues it (BIG IF), I would start him alongside Bell. Lets Taylor play more of the 2/3 where he will be more comfortable.
But all in all, it is nice to have a team that can win a physical game inside when they only make 3 3's. Not just a roster built to shoot and beat inferior teams like BC.

Apparently we can criticize every player except Judah on the other board because gramps can’t handle it. I got chastised for saying we won despite Judah being bad yesterday and a mod liked the post ffs.

The b-ball board has not been enjoyable in many years. Judah can’t foul out like that. The one diving for the ball near the baseline was a tough one, but those things happen - which is why you can’t commit dumb and pointless fouls that put you in a position where a tough call matters. Need the PG in the game down the stretch when the other team is pressing.

On another note, seeing our two guard throw an alley oop to our PG on a fast break was so refreshing. Buddy and Joe couldn’t even do that in an empty gym, unless the rims were lowered to 9 feet.
Being able to force turnovers, rebound, defend the 3, and get out and run and finish is so refreshing. Seeing plays finished with big time dunks…..I still can’t believe the lack of athleticism that Jimmy Jr, Joe, Buddy, Swider team had. lol. We had Patriot League hops across the board.
We look like Syracuse again.

Yesterday we are up 10 with 90 seconds to go and he tries to drive into 3 Pitt players instead of running clock. That shouldn’t happen from someone striving to be an NBA Draft Pick. The continuous reaching is killing us on defense too because most of the time we end up playing 4 on 5.

But that was my exact thought as the game came to a close.

In another lifetime, Judah is an AJ Guyton, Louis Bullock, Troy Bell - an undersized 2 guard who scores a lot of points in a 4 year college career, before hooking on and maybe having a cup of coffee in the league.
Now he’s an undersized 2 guard trying to play the point, who will put up big scoring numbers for 2 years in college, before maybe having a cup of coffee in the league.

Cope is my favorite player since Kadary LOL He was always up there as one of my favorite players to watch, but up through the first few games of this year I started think it would never fully click for him. He seems to have put it together though. Which is great. He's so creative and fun to watch. He just seemed to be sooooooooooooo mistake prone early on. Glad to see him get past that. Kid is just smooth and you can tell he watches the game. I remember Walton saying "best practice player" over and over during the tourney, and thinking that made perfect sense as he just looks like he can do it all with ease. Then the game results never translated for anything more than short stretches. Glad it's going well now!

It'll always amuse me that maybe the most memorable game of Buddie's career for me, at least the one I had the most fun watching after his Dad started his non-stop "can my son make the NBA" experiment - was the one where he was suspended for the punch and we almost beat Duke. I'd never see us play that well in 3 or 4 years. Jimmy was even outstanding! It was like they knew they weren't getting chipwiches and just played ball for one night. Well, they probably got chipwiches anyway, but still.........
