See you Sunday!
Sanogo - wow - dominating. He toyed with his defender all game who could not match his skill, feet or strength. He played great when we needed him most. 28 points and 12 rebounds. MVP!
40 points and 22 rebounds from our two Bigs. Very productive time for both of them. That’s why we need to focus on getting them both minutes.
After halftime, we came out actually running plays for Hawkins and it worked. A lesson for future games. Additionally, our bench played well with the exception of Diarra, who did not keep his head up on lay-ups. The bench had 24 points.
After last game, I said we needed to get the ball in the hands of our play makers during the second half - and I thought we did that.
Our two starting guards were 0-9 in the first half. Iona was on fire. Our disastrous high hedge defense was surgically picked apart by Pitino as we left shooters open while unintentionally double teaming other guys. Again we make a run with Clingan. Despite, Iona shooting unconscious, they were up only 2 at halftime. A good sign.
Why do we keep putting Andre on the 3 line forcing that issue - why not operate on the baseline? Otherwise Andre had a very good game and looked good in transition and assisted on various half court plays.
The second half our defense improved as we stuck to our men and avoided the crazy mismatches of the high hedge.
Anderson had some bizarre calls against us as he has all season. He’s got a personal issue with us and should be removed from our games.
Next up!
