Gates has gone to the rim a few times in the last couple games. Like to see it, especially if he makes FTs.

My god these refs are adamant that a basketball game cannot take place here today.

over 5 minute drought before that Q drive
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

This game was been fugly to watch with the fouls and TO's.
Nice drive by Q and mid range jumper by Ed sandwiched between SJU's 1st 3 by Mussolini.

Ok...I just have been in the bathroom throwing up when he made those drives.
He has done a decent job on the glass today - 3 boards.

Our bigs have lost all confidence. Q looks good.

Q is looking good and Ed is aggressive....I wonder if the New York market has elevated Ed's game.

Yeah Q has officially made the freshman leap I think. Looks good, looks confident, is able to get into the lane under control for the most part.
