Yooo kerry
NOwood !!!! BBAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - eat that you tool.
We have some trolls around here, but man you suck at it. Like S-U-C-K at it. At least
try to learn the art, you're setting forum trolling back to the early ages of the internet. Until then, move on loser.
Witnessed true greatness tonight - an absolute honor and privilege to see this performance live. You guys can say what you want about me, I speak my mind, but
I absolutely bleed this school and this was one of the greatest single performances I've ever seen from any player in an HU uniform. Kid is literally unstoppable - the type of player that rarely graces a mid major - a shame most of the region is missing it! NBA is awaiting him, and if he leads this team to the dance mark my words he'll go 1st / 2nd round. If not, he might go lower, but I still think he's going - scouts still at every game. Ponds is fantastic, but JWF is the Haggerty.
HU and all of us are blessed to have this young man and to be a part of his journey - as I've said IMO he is THE reason this team has a chance to dance. He just refused to lose tonight - refused it, and willed them to victory - literally put the team on his back and beat them by himself. That ankle breaking spin and step back was jaw-dropping - putting the ball in the basket from underneath it in the front was mind boggling - could go on... On one hand don't want it to come down to just him, but sometimes you do lol - that's the job of the leagues best player, and some games, the best player needs to win it - thank the Lord his is a flying dutchmen!!
Bad:
- Coburn - 2nd early foul was awful, c'mon TC. Will chalk that one up to learning - need to be better next year. Can't take yourself out of major games like that on such a poor play.
- Buie: Terrible 1st half. Luckily, an anomaly for him, and he still ended up with a good outing.
- Staff: (EASY, positive below) Really wish they would STOP sitting JWF for 2 fouls - I know, defensive sets, I saw and understand, but I don't agree - you don't sit that kid IMO unless he has 4 fouls - not learning this lesson from NU was extremely frustrating, and almost cost HU another game - one of the best players in HU
and CAA history, you don't sit him because of 2 fouls - this staff literally
never sat Green, no matter his play, why would you ever sit JWF. Absolutely baffling to me.
- Dwyer: His ability is just not at this level - him against Knight or anyone from WM for that matter just wasn't fair. Like a kid getting his lunch money stolen every time down the floor.
- Settling for 3's all first half. This team is at it's worst when they forget to drive the lane.
Good (besides JWF):
- JT: Said it before, this team is 10 times better with a player like him than one like Rok. Kid plays with great energy, has a really nice jumper, hits FT's, plays strong D, a diff maker in this team. He made Knight earn every bit, just went up against a tremendous talent.
- Staff: (See!) Kept this team mentally and emotionally in the game, good energy, stayed positive, and I believe helped them make some key adjustments to take away the middle more and to attack the basket more. JM got fired up a few times, but I felt deservedly so in those spots. His constant encouragement was clear tonight.
- Buie: Second half.
- Pemba: Made some big plays tonight - LOT of ability in that young man, just need to see more next year. Good game tonight, hit FT's.
- ST: Shot a horrific 3, BUT hey the kid gave very solid D minutes - played where he should, at the *4*, alongside DD and JT, and low and behold played well. He can bring value there, just needs more hammering into his brain about the game and his skill set, and how to actually match them up
- When the team drove the lane. This team is best when they attack the basket.
- FT shooting - see above! A major factor in this W, and will be in the CAAT too. ATTACK THAT HOOP! Leads to great things!
->>> THE CROWD! And the STUDENT SECTION! First time all year I've been able to say both! PLEASE COME BACK and help finish out the year strong! They deserve it.
Finally seeing the proper respect on the napoleon board. And right back at them for Knight, guy is a really fantastic player - prob best big in the league - kudos to him, kid ate HU's lunch in the middle, and HU actually made him earn the majority of it - just that good. Hope he makes the league too honestly.
As for the rest, they have some of the most awkward looking and shooting players I've ever seen, and they still manage to make shots looking awful doing it! I'm shocked every time the ball goes in
don't know where they find these guys, but kudos to them I guess!
They aren't a great team this year, they just play HU well every darn time - matchup well, shoot well, and coached well. Although Shaver is just as much of a whiner as JM, if not more this year - JM has made MAJOR strides this season. That guy hasn't.
M O N S T E R test on Thur - closest thing to a CAAT tourney game due to location... very very interested in how this one goes down. GO HOFSTRA
