[paultzman]

RJ had 6 offensive rebounds, 10 total saved the game in addition to his 30 pts

 

[Marillac2]

37 offensive redounds in two games. Marillac near tears with that stat.

 

[Boo Harvey]

I’m elated!!! This was a character building and program building win. The team is tough and resilient. So thrilled for these kids and the program. Hopefully smith comes back soon and we go on a run

 

[gregbodkin]

Luis 16 of 20 from the line. Game winner right there!

 

[espken]

Fantastic job on making Dixon work for his 18pts. 6-19 from the field.

The much beleaguered guys came through for us. Of course RJ. Sim hit some onion shots when the game was in the balance. Kadary as well plus knocking down his freebies

 

[paultzman]

44-38 rebounding edge for our tough, gritty Johnnies

 

[ptc666]

Great win. RJ absolute beast tonight. Good 2nd half for kadary. Scott amazing defense on Dixon. Good contributions all around. Fingers crossed smith is quick to heal.

Hopefully crack top 25 on Monday and no let down against a much improved Georgetown

 

[Mean Gene]

This team embodies everything that NYC is about!! Great win!! Now let’s get Glover and Smith back and keep it going!!

 

[Shannon]

37 offensive redounds in two games. Marillac near tears with that stat.

44 to 28 on Boards, won the game for us. This team is freakin tough!

I’ll remember this as the RJ Luis game, as I’m sure many of you will

Not a “game ball” guy by any means and one of me least favorite sports terms is “took the game over”. But if ever there was a time for both……..Luis kept the Johnnie’s in it and then just willed and hustled them to the win down the stretch. Really nice win on a night that could have gone sideways.

Hope Luis ankle does not swell up. When is the last time we had a player shoot so many foul shots.

Marcus Hatten vs UConn came to mind

He’ll be icing it tonight, he’ll be fine

[paultzman]

Wilcher with some clutch shots at the end.

Yup, stepped up when it counted after being ice cold

 

[Delaware]

When was the last time we had 22 more FTs than Nova?

 

[PARedman]

In hind sight, maybe those gut-wrenching losses against Baylor and Georgia are part of the reason we're 5-1 in conference.

 

[MugCostanza]

They said that they took an X-ray on Smith and it was negative. Dislocated shoulder and they popped it back in.

What's the timeframe on recovery from that given how he couldn't use his right arm at all when he came back in the game

The "law" thing involves a whole lot of medicine in my particular case. Smith obviously incredibly tough, we knew that from the beginning, but not sure I'm a fan of the staff letting him go back in to play some D with a shoulder dislocation that just got reduced
