FSU game thread

Alex isn't getting minutes because Drummond is playing beastly. Drummond doesn't trifle around the rim. Strong move and the flush. Alex could learn something.

actually, it seems that Olander is getting the minutes at the expense of Oriakhi. there's no reason you can't have Drummond and Oriakhi on the court together, but i think maybe coach feels Olander is more productive at this point.

clean block there by roscoe... bullshit call

I think you're right that it's Olander who's taking Alex's minutes, but I disagree with the assertion that playing AO and AD at the same time is a good idea. Neither of them can handle the ball in the high post. Having two bigs like that just clogs up the lane.

I agree. I just watched it about three times, and it was all ball.

The Conn having success with the 3 guard lineup, reminiscent of last season.

 

[NutmegDog]

Bazz bullet passes to Drummond are going to be a staple this year.

 

[sledog]

Lead to 4. Begining to wink-out again??

 

[Rico444]

Wow. Boatright is special.

 

[SaeHusky]

We are a whole different team with Shabazz, Lamb, and Boatright on the floor together

 

[superjohn]

Boatright is damn good. This won't be easy down the stretch, FSU is damn good.

 

[Uconn]

It's the Boat Show!

 

[Gurleyman]

This one feels different. Effort is there - missed a couple open looks, nearly ad steals that would have been breakaways. A couple defensive breakdowns in bad spots when we were up 10. But it isn't us taking the foot off the throttle so much as a normal momentum swing.

 

[MarieM]

i anyones else messing up?

 

[Gurleyman]

Olander overmatched today badly.

 

[Uconn]

Gotta sit Olander at this point

 

[superjohn]

No clue why Olander is playing the whole game, he is way off today.

 

[SaeHusky]

Calhoun has so much faith in Olander. I want to see AO in there with Drummond. Plus the 3 guards

First time post, long time reader. I know many on the board are gonna disagree with me here but it seems to me watching the game online that bazz is hesitant to pass the ball to boat show. It almost looks to me like he feels threatened by boatrights talent as it may eventually push him out of the starting rotation...bazz has played well but it just seems to me he has also played selfishly. This selfishness to me seems to have pushed boatright into creating his own shots as the game has progressed knowing bazz isnt really giving him the ball

 

[UConnMatt813]

I like what I'm seeing today. Yesterday's loss may have been a good thing. At some point they need to stop riding the wave of last year's success and start gettin after it this year. Win or lose, I think they got a lot out of this weekend.

 

[superjohn]

Oriakhi should be in there.

Not a good way to start your Boneyard career.

 

[sledog]

How many pts has FS scored following TO missed 3-attempts???

 

[UCweCONN]

If the Huskies lose today, this is the reason. Olander has been horrible in every aspect of the game. Also, Lamb has disappeared from large portions of the last two games.

 

[TopDog18]

Olander needs to be benched, he's been awful today. I don't understand why the quick hook doesn't apply to him when we have AO and Scoe

 

[superjohn]

Shabazz is getting smoked on defense right now.
