Marquette, Sat. Feb. 10, Noon, YES (FOX SN) / 970AM

Honestly, I thought Ponds might go for 40 after his first half barrage.

Continue to give the ball to Ponds and Clark down the stretch.

Is Yakwe still injured?
 
This may be the worst reffed game of the year. Thank God they could not rob us on this one.
 
We shot 60% from the floor (30/50) and 40% from three (8/20). WOW!

Knight, you stole my thunder! I was thinking about the same exact thing while watching this game. For example:
1- Phantom foul on SP when Marquette kid fell down without being touched.
2- First half, Marvin Clark is pushed out of bounds on the baseline, calls Clark out of bounds
3- Marquette player falls down with SJU in possession, Ref blows play dead. Player safety was not an issue. Player doesn't even leave game??? Free time-out?
4- Multiple off the ball fouls for screens impacting nothing.
I could go on, but yes it was really bad.

Anyway, congrats to Shamorie tremendous offensive effort.
 
Ponds is playing his way into the first round of the 2018 draft.

Love Ponds and not sure there is any player in division 1 playing better than him the last 2 weeks but he did have 8 turnovers today. Kid can score with the best of them but there is room for a lot of improvement in certain areas of his game. This is not meant to be a criticism in any way but rather just pointing out he may not be NBA ready.

sjc88-I would have typed all that but my fingers got tongue-tied. ;)
 
I consider beating Wojo almost as good at beating duke because his head is going to explode

Easy guys. I love SP. However, size, defense and turnovers all big ??? for the next level. Nothing he can do about size but maybe get stronger. Plenty of work on defense and turnover parts of his game. I don't remember what Rousey finished with but kid had close to 30 with Ponds guarding him on a number of occasions.

I don't think he is ready either. Unfortunately most players get drafted on who they can become, not what they've accomplished already. Ponds IQ is incredible. Next year he can really prove to scouts that he has the skills to play PG with a full roster to contend with. But It wouldn't shock me if he gets a promise to go into the first round this year and decides to go. We'll see how his plays continues, especially in the BET on the home court.
