Freshman playing well on D. Still don't understand why Carter is playing. Nyse is killing him and he has no confidence it is four on five with him in there. When you go up big you don't have to sub in three or four players.
Because Carter blocks out Nze on the missed shots and Nze's three was on Free, because Carter was not in on play.. Maybe watch off-ball sometime.
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.

In all fairness to Carter, Freemantle is probably the worst defensive big player we have had in years. He doesn't even try and move or get his hands up. Nyze had seven on Carter in the first five minutes, FYI. Would have been nice to have a play at end of half.

Freshman leading the way with our 2 all big east second-teamers not in gear yet. Paul with 6 and Free with 4 equals Jones ten.

Best thing for Carter 1st half. Carter hit a 3. Worst thing in 1st half. Carter's other shots, along with Odom's 3. X is playing very well, but these wasted possessions will kill them against Creighton. Not sure if Steele is happier that X is leading, or that he didn't have to play Tandy. Kyky better be reedy in the 2nd half if they're down 5 with 30 seconds. He'll then have a chance to play.

More Griffin and ANY Tandy this half will make AH a happy man.

one under the basket Carter stopped Nze and Free was there but don't get the rebound which allowed Nze to get a bunny.

When Carter fouled him for the and one? Carter was guarding him and then didn't box out.

If the team in the white shirts shows up for the rest of the year there will be a big celebration at Dana’s even without Steele’s subsidy!

Carter boxed out Golden, Free was guarding Nze. Carter did foul him for the and one but there was not much else he could do when Nze got the ball inside

25 of 40 scored by freshmen that play Kyky position which one do you take out just to appease your fascination with Tandy?

Take Freemantle out!!! His defense and turnovers are killing us.
