[vegasman2000]

Effort outstanding from the players. give them credit. this is a very physical team. Nebreska is mentally and physically soft

Yeah, teams seem like they are on different planets at this point

 

[guinness77]

Curbelo is ballin right now.

 

[Larry Wright]

Give them credit
Would have lost this game in years past after that first half

 

[SI1996]

Dang I was hoping to see a 20-20 from Joel

 

[vegasman2000]

Curbelo def won me over a little bit tonight.

He was so damn pesky on defense I loved it

I almost hate to say this but Curbelo > Posh. And that isn't a bad thing for us. Hell the fact that it's close is a good thing

[Eric]

One of the easiest bets ive ever had. Down 7 at half. Sju -6 second half. Thank you very much.

 

[guinness77]

Capt. Obvious here but for as bad as that first half was, was as great as the 2nd half was. Build off that. And, hope Posh is ok. He looked happy as the subs were coming in so hopefully, that’s a good sign.

 

[Roamer]

Curbelo "schoolyarding."

We are lucky to have him. He is the real deal.

 

[sjc88]

Well, however we got here they won the game. Can’t have too many 1st half’s like tonight and expect to win. Got away with it. Wins a win.

 

[MCNPA]

We did what we had to do. Now let’s keep it rolling. Temple won’t be easy and if we win that one it’s winner of Cuse vs Richmond. I hope it’s Cuse as they’ve been dodging us for years. I want to beat them once again.

 

[buckethead]

Love the numbers. I have to watch the game later, but the box scores are making me happy

 

[Mean Gene]

Soriano 17pts and 18 Reb, dominant!

 

[paultzman]

Jones fills Julian void nicely and is better at creating offense and very crafty offensive rebounder.

 

[Johnny Rapper]

Curbelo’s energy and defense won the game. Jones and Soriano came alive. Posh needs to work on his shooting. A game of two halves.

 

[Gabelmc]

The two teams in this game have combined to play 5 games going into tomorrow. Their opponents and their Kenpom rankings:

298 Merrimack
302 Lafayette
332 Nebraska Omaha
334 Central Connecticut
343 Maine

First non-terrible opponent for both

We are lucky to have him. He is the real deal.

Who panicked more in the first half… St. John’s or the message board? I’d call it a tie.

Can’t afford pattern of poor first half play though v better teams though.

Jones fills Julian void nicely and is better at creating offense and very crafty offensive rebounder.

I was thinking the same thing. I think Julian's a better professional prospect with his size, length, and catch and shoot ability. But, I think Jones' game fits better with CMA's system, Jones is a better defender, slasher, and can create his own shot of the dribble, something Julian struggled with.

I think pinzon is hurt again I saw with ice pack on his ankle during the game and didn't play in the second half.

 

[MugCostanza]

Can’t afford pattern of poor first half play though v better teams though.

I think a bit of that has to do with the poor level of opponent played thus far. As bad as Nebraska is they are still far bigger and more athletic than any opponent this team has played so far and I think it took them a bit to figure out the stuff they could get away with vs the CCSU's of the world wouldn't fly against better competition. At least that's what I hope it was.
