This was not a game to be ecstatic about. We had to beat Georgetown today to avoid a deep hole and our guys took care of business. Now the real work begins over the next 4 games.
It will be a tall order to win 2 of the 4. The home game against SHU is very important, almost huge if we don't beat creighton this week.
Wheeler hit the floor on 2 consecutive plays to go after loose balls. in those moments with Georgetown bearing down they were big plays.
We have to realize Wheeler is a 3, and plays like a 3. He can put the ball on the floor, make threes, and is active around the rim. However if you expect him to get 6 rebounds you will be disappointed. I said this before this littke run of games - he is more skilled than any forward we lost. He won't average 10 ppg but he does a lot of nice things and is a player.
Stanley getting a chance to get major minutes as a little big man. CMA is coaxing productivity out of him.
wusu minus correctable mistakes is one heck of a player. Just ask georgetown.
Good game. We are getting better. We are fortunate to have had canceled games. This team may be ready to hit Broadway. I've been stubborn. Im sticking with 10 or 11 conference wins with 9 the low water mark.
Crowd was spread out across the arena. It didn't feel like 5k
