MBB vs Oakland

<< < (3/3)

I agree with all of the above comments.  After we settled down after they went up big early, we played like we wanted it more.  Was nice to see us close out a close game in the end.  I was afraid it was going to go the other way again late.  Sally & Quisenberry were definitely the difference.  Covington played well & I thought Akuchie gave us good minutes.  Sally definitely slowed down their dominance inside and that turned the game around. 

I've been wondering if Coach would give Sally a shot one of these games...not much to lose.  We haven't really gotten anything late from Pederson, Anabir & Holcombe.  Sally definitely has the size and it was nice to see him make some close range shots and finish inside.  Maybe he'll turn into a Jordan Kaufman. 

Will be interesting how we play now against Detroit- a team we just can't seem to beat.  Think we've lost 14 straight to them.  They beat Cleveland State tonight- that pretty much takes CSU out of it.

I think John Sally has much more upside compared to Jordan Kaufman.  Much more athletic. Need to coach him up so we have the needed inside play on offense and defense.  The women's team seems to be able to coach up the inside players to be dominate. Sara Cash and Mary Dunn didn't come to YSU with a strong inside game, but it sure has been developed since they got here. I have heard that Sara worked hard with a coach all summer to get her inside game going, and it sure worked out.  Hopefully the men can do the same.  I think ours men's team system has evolved since the new staff arrived and wanted to full court press, shoot 3's, and not be to concerned with the inside game.  Now we are more traditional, don't press so much, and the inside play has evolved to being the difference in winning and losing. We can be very good with the addition of an inside presence.  I think our guards are plenty good enough to compete in the Horizon League.

Maybe he'll make the move this fall.

I thought the defense was the the reason they won.  Closed out on shooters but a little of OU not shooting well.

Shocked by John Salley's production.  Anomaly or will we see him grow into a contributor ?   Naz goes 0 for 7 with a season low of 2 rebounds and still get the road win.  Great team win.
