Obekpa landed on his upper body as they both hit the ground. Then he didn't move at all for a while.

I want to be able to get Marco in the game for five minutes down the stretch. Push the lead to 20
*wipes ketchup from his eyes* - I guess Heinz sight isn’t 20/20.

Garrett had a different look in his eyes tonight much more aggressive.

Balamou is an absolute freak.  Unreal...I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

It's amazing how good we look when we are making shots.

We could be pretty good this year if the NCAA ever clears Sanchez.

Balamou is a ton smoother than I ever thought he'd be at this point and is a really good overall basketball player this early in his career.  Awesome pickup.

Fwiw, we make shots at a pretty good percentage and are a much better shooting team this early in the season than we have been in a long time.  We still could hit higher % from 3, but that will come.  Now all we need is Sanchez and Branch and I think we can compete with just about anybody.

Got more info from Kara Lawson announcing this game than I've heard in the last couple months on Sanchez.   Clarifying it's the time between starting school, dropping out when his folks died to support the family, then coming back to school that's at the root of the delay.    Also liked her quoting Earl Watson - a National TV audience (well, as national as espnU gets) heard Earl's opinion that Sanchez is "good enuf right now to start for the Utah Jazz".... Good stuff.

Was a fun game to attend. Was good to see some former SJU athletic department co-workers still doing their thing.

Our team is fun to watch.  Balamou is unreal.  With Branch and Sanchez we'll be even better.

The one glaring drawback to this team is its' rebounding.

Agree.  SC was hitting the boards hard and all we could do is slap the ball out to the perimeter on many of the possessions.

The team played great tonight. If it wasn't for offensive rebounds in the first ten minutes of the game it would have been a twenty point game a lot sooner.

Deangelo played one of his best games in St. Johns uni tonight. Had some real nice passes that wont show up as assists and really let the game come to him.
Amir was an absolute animal on the boards and around the rim. That is the way he has to play every game.
Balamou is a spark plug out there. Hops are ridiculous, blocks shots like hes 6'9 and he is as good of a competitor as we have. How bout that pass to dangelo on the break?!
Phil had another solid game, jumper is much improved and his on ball d was impressive. Would like to see him swing the ball quicker.
Jakarr's midrange game is automatic. I cant believe how many of his shots he makes, I only pray it continues.
Pointer had a solid game and let the game came to him. Had some good passes and defensive plays.
Obekpa is a prensence even when he doesnt block shots. He had a nice pass and a nice drive as well. Ill gladly eat crow on his offensive game.
Marco finally got hot al biet in a blowout, but it was very good and encouraging to see, lets hope it parlays into some more productive minutes.
Jones didnt play much but he took a nice charge in the first half.

If this team plays with this type of intensity the rest of the season there is no way they shouldnt hear their name on selection sunday.
