Jalen Adams & game-deciding 14-0 run...

[tykurez]

He runs hot and cold, sometimes he is into defensively and other times he is just out there. Not sure there’s been a Kemba or Napier type junior season bump.

I wish I had the energy to go look at tapes, but from memory ... Kemba had frequent sluggish starts to games before scoring 15-20 in the 2nd. Granted much of it was him trying to get other guys involved (while being double and triple teamed), but this board was not happy with his first half performances for much of the 9-9 conference regular season.

Jalen scored 9 of the points himself, and assisted the two other buckets (a Polley 3 and an Anderson long-range 2). He also had three defensive rebounds during the stretch.

I'm mad at Ollie for a lot of things, but I think what I'm pre-emptively most mad at is the fact that he's going to have wasted most of this kid's career. Adams is a special, clutch talent, but he should not have to will us to a win over Stony Brook at home, no matter any of the other variables.

I've been an Ollie defender for a long time, but I'm over it and have sold all my stock.

I hope he proves me wrong, but I am so frustrated at four straight years of starting the season like this because we continually start games like this. We are inevitably out of it until the furious second-half comeback.

It has to be better.

Bump.
