Thoughts from a Bball novice: Post game thoughts in red if this works!
D-Burke. That kid is going to be menace in the NEC, at very least defensively. He is probably my favorite to watch. Just goes like his behind is on fire. Did not see a ton of him, on D when I did see him he was going 100%
Allen looks like the real deal to me. Drives hard. You guys that know more BBall than me, would be interested if he could be next great guard at RMU? Still think he should be playing more, think he has lots of potential. I think he should be starting now.
B-Burke. Think he will be really good down the road, might not be this year but once he puts everything together he could be great. Same, going to be great, got into some foul trouble again.
Roberto M: Seems to be struggling, but sure is not do to lack of effort. Do not know if he is banged up or not. No one works harder than him. Still think he banged up. He will be OK. Never a great scorer, but does a lot of dirty stuff.
Still: Couldn't ask for much more than he did against DePaul, hope this is his big breakout year. Seems like a player the team might be able to lean on to stop runs, keep runs going for RMU. Bucknell seemed to have him on lockdown. Tough for him to get shots when he is only or 1 of 2 options on court.
Matty: Not sure what is going on with him, if it is injuries then that would make sense. I had really high hopes for him. Happy to see a good scoring game from him. Came in and had a bad foul on a 3pt attempt, but hit some 3's to keep it reasonably close.
Giles: Seems to be steady, reliable. He doesn't shoot a lot, but doesn't miss a lot either. Will be interesting to see if he gets some more minutes going forward. Glad to see him get some more points, he is smooth inside. I think Toole will start leaning on him a bit more.
Kavon: Looked to get visibly frustrated in both games. Has the ability to be great, just can't take himself out of the games as he has. Shooting % is awful this year. Same old, he draw a lot of fouls on Bucknell, but have to hit the FT.
Tate: Might be trying to do much shooting, appears to be doing a great job getting boards and banging underneath. Tate is Tate, he is grinder. Tough though when him and Roberto on court at same time, really limits team.
Wright: As was mentioned in the above preview, just hasn't found his shooting. Seems to give a great effort though and stay within himself. I think he will end up being a bigger piece to this team in the near future. Hit a 3, maybe more, did not see box score. I think this young man will win us at least one game. I like what he can bring.
