Lol ok. Again, our outside players bar 2 Wusu 3s have hit nothing. Nothing. But let’s blame the guy who’s carried us all season, the guy who Nova is clearly focusing on. The guy needs help.

What r u Sorianos best bud? Nobody is blaming him he’s just not having the usual dependable Soriano game. It happens. But he better get out of tge funk or the team may not win.

CMA needs to make the necessary adjustments and draw the Nova defenders out so Joel can perform.

Have Storr and Pinzon take shots.

That offensive set we ran so effectively against UConn is not happening tonight. They are standing their ground and daring us to shoot. They’ve been playing a hybrid zone/man defense effectively daring us to make shots, and…we’re not. Have to make shots. They’ve made a few with some hands in their face, we have to do the same and we can start screening the hell out of them.

 

[paultzman]

As noted hit some jumpers and Joel will have easier time scoring. Put in Harrison Reede

 

[guinness77]

Bottom line, if Soriano does not get involved in this game offensively the chance of winning will be greatly diminished. Also a lift from Pinzon and Storr necessary.

Oh so you admit he needs help?

Exactly! I'm saying the same thing only in a different way.

Need to get a 3rd foul on Whitmore.

Oh so you admit he needs help?

I wonder if that awful fall he took on the opening play may be affecting him.

 

[guinness77]

Let’s just be happy this is a close game and we have 20 minutes to work some home court magic. Only 3 team fouls is a big plus too.

 

[gregbodkin]

If anyone can take the pressure off of Soriano we can win this.

 

[Queens_Ball]

Very frustrating to have one of the best bigs in the country but no shooters to put around him.

 

[gregbodkin]

Curbelo learning how to utilize Soriano.

 

[paultzman]

Posh right guy to guard physical Daniels

 

[Johnny Rapper]

That’s the Soriano we missed

 

[SJU2000alum15]

Good start two buckets Soriano let’s go!!!

 

[gregbodkin]

Love Soriano's jumper.

 

[guinness77]

Lol Soriano clearly inspired by Johnny Rapper’s kick in the pants.

 

[Delaware]

Here come the fouls.....

 

[gregbodkin]

Soriano pumped!

 

[SJU2000alum15]

What are you crying about Neptune that was a clear walk!
