Another big scoring game for Adam Miller. 26.
Kinda frustrating that we have a hole in the team for a knock-down shooter that can stretch defenses, have recruited very well for that spot in recent years, but Alan Griffin is playing pro ball in Canada after declaring early and not sniffing the draft, Adam Miller is at LSU for no apparent reason, Podz is crushing it at Santa Clara and Luke Goode is on crutches.That’s why I still don’t get why he left.
Miller not here due to family issues. It’s not because of “no apparent reason “.Kinda frustrating that we have a hole in the team for a knock-down shooter that can stretch defenses, have recruited very well for that spot in recent years, but Alan Griffin is playing pro ball in Canada after declaring early and not sniffing the draft, Adam Miller is at LSU for no apparent reason, Podz is crushing it at Santa Clara and Luke Goode is on crutches.
I'd offer that when Gritty and i use that phrase in this instance it would be reason vs. cause. You cited a cause which would be unreasonable.Miller not here due to family issues. It’s not because of “no apparent reason “.
Put some of those great Gonzaga players on a team where they are the primary option and it might have happened before. On Gonzaga, they have so much talent they have to share the ball.That's crazy, considering all the studs Gonzaga has had over the past decade.
FYI, Santa Clara has already jumped 15 spots on torvik. From 124 to 109. Maybe Podz can lead them to a special season...that would be awesome. They are underdogs in their next 4 games, hopefully Podz can keep it up!

Although a small sample...it appears St. Johns got the "good" Curbelo. 10 points on 4-7 shooting, 6 assists and 1 turnover in latest game.
Po-tay-toe. Po-taah-toe.I'd offer that when Gritty and i use that phrase in this instance it would be reason vs. cause. You cited a cause which would be unreasonable.
Or he may be performing well against poor competition. Either way, 2 games is too small of a sample size to make any kind of determination.THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY!
After only two games at Santa Clara, Brandon Podziemski is clearly their star player. He is averaging 32 points
and10 rebounds and is hitting threes at at a rate of over 50%. Maybe a bit more playing time as a Freshman
would have revealed some of these star qualities while at Illinois! He may truly be 'the one that got away!
May just have not been the optimal fit. Podz may be the type of player who thrives as his team's 1st, 2nd and 3rd scoring option. That's what he was in HS. That's what it looks like he is at Santa Clara. There was no way he was going to be that here. I don't think BU wants anyone to be that. Looks like this has been a great move for Podz and I'm rooting for him to keep it up.THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY!

Coach wasn't playing to lose... He was playing the guys who he believed gave us the best opportunity to win on any given night. You can play the "what if "game all night long if you want...THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY!

Brad knew Podz was good so sent him to Santa Clara to get more ticks and experiences like a G-league. He will have him transfer back in no time!THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY!

Question remains what does he do against a quality opponent when he gets frustrated. His attitude is contiguous which is both a positive and negativeAlthough a small sample...it appears St. Johns got the "good" Curbelo. 10 points on 4-7 shooting, 6 assists and 1 turnover in latest game.
On the other hand, Foster Loyer is averaging 34 for a similar type small school. He played 3 years at Michigan State and his best year was 4.7.THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY!

Exactly right. We should probably not jump to conclusions after our first three games. The next two will give us a better view of where we are starting out this season.The first two games of the season, Santa Clara played the 238th and 244th teams in Kenpom. Tonight, they played the 58th and got their doors blown off with Podz coming back down to earth. He still put up 12, but on 3-11 shooting. This is why you don't jump to conclusions after two games. He's a fine player. I think he would have gotten a few minutes a game here this season, but I think he probably made the right decision by transferring. I wish him nothing but the best.
Did Brandon get a ring?There's a good chance Podz would've shown us some of these qualities had he been given more playing time.
There is an equally good if not greater chance that we would not have raised a banner on Friday night had he been given more playing time.
