Great effort to start on D, and glad to see them diving on the floor early.

Morez sliding in for the tie up? Inject it straight into my veins
Competing against NFL so they didn't want to waste anybody important
Man alive is Martinellis jump shot UGLY. Also, what an awful gameplan to go under a guy that's shot 6/14 from 3 lately (43% from 3). And that percent will inevitably be higher because he is getting wide open looks.
I have some unfortunate news…

Gotta drive to the basket if they’re going to guard us that far out on the floor
How are we so sloppy with the ball out front with a top 5 draft pick and an experienced guard like Boswell. Ridiculousness
So NW d looks like 3-2 man type zone. Blitz the ball and sag the off-side man into the lane going to force us to drive and kick and will refuse to give up the 3 ball

I love Ben taking it to the basket
Morez with some great energy, effort, and defense so far.
Refs really letting them play. Cant wait for ticky tack fouls in the second half

The energy looks so much better than against Maryland and USC and I'm absolutely here for it
No fouls on Morez at the first media... HUGE
Love to see it. MOREZ ALL OVER THE COURT AND THE FLOOR.

Spam booty ball until morale improves
Mo has to up stronger with the ball and get fouled.

It bodes well if Rez can play a little more physical without getting fouls
Love what I'm seeing from Morez.
May not be pretty but I like the energy and taking it to the hoop, especially MJ. Keep at the big man and get him another one and get him off the floor

Krush is easily 4 x louder than the Maryland game
That little give and go pass was nice too.
