Wow. Just wow. I know it’s DePaul, but wow. This game was over after 5 minutes because of suffocating defense, fluid and engaged offense, and great energy even through a 30 point blowout.
A few thoughts. Most good, obviously
- Adama Sanogo is unstoppable 1v1. Unstoppable.
- Great game from Andre! Played within himself again and almost had a triple double to show for it. Went to the post 3 times, which led to 1 bucket and 2 trips to the line. Did hit a nice rhythm three early and is looking like he’s having fun alongside Newton now
- Joey’s shot is back! He was rough as a lead PG today, but absolutely lethal off ball. Can’t be understated how much we NEED that this month
- Alleyne hit another one of those pull-up midranges. Doesn’t look pretty but has been going down for a couple games. Also very important for a March run
- Clingan came in early and dominated
- RICHIE MINUTES!
Now the not so good, but how much can we complain about with a nearly 30 point win?
- Hawkins missed a lot of good looks, forced it in the second half, and rolled his ankle at the end. Really tough game. Hope he comes back healthy for the revenge game against Nova
- Samson minutes! Unfortunately he immediately got bullied under the hoop and gave up an and1. Pulled immediately after lol
