DePaul Game Discussion

Is it me, or is Pointer learning about the mid range game?

He is, as evident from his free throw shooting.

Killing them in transition. And they are giving us and ones. 

Looking at his face, Sir Dom is having FUN....

Looks like DePaul is getting tired already.   Coach should keep the pressure on by using our bench to keep the temp up.

Excellent point. Bench critical.

Nows the time Paultz.   Halfway thru 2nd half and the same lineup has been in there almost the whole time since halftime. 
At some point Branch Jakarr and Dom need to rest if just for a minute. 
Want to be at full speed down the stretch. 

Purnell lives and dies with press. Layup city today for Johnnies.

Let's not read facial expressions or body language! LOL

Dom is playing a great all around game.  It's what I expected of his athleticism when he committed here. While DePaul looks awful, there is some good things going on for us in this game.

Announcers are so for Depaul it's disgusting!
A bevy of Cheap shots

Can certainly see the "Obekpa Effect" on DePaul's offence in the paint. Very tentative to take it up when he's around.

That should help Obekpa's confidence.

Obekpa with the dunk! 

 Looks like we finally woke up in the second half.  Depaul stinks, but a BE road win is huge no matter how you get it.. Lets close this out.

 I think we are a "weak" team.  These guys need to hit the weight room in the off season big time.  Will improve our ball handling and rebounding tremendously.  Sampson, Obekpa, and Garrett especially.

A nice big margin win away should help us... even against DePaul.

It's been sickening the whole game. They must be upset right now.

Team playing great.  Good strategy change.  Packing it in on defense to let them shoot over us.  Running on offense.  DePaul is exhausted.  They can't run with us all game.  We have our entire team moving on offense and making baskets.  Stepping on the gas now.  Fun to watch.

You say "weak"; Lavin says "young". A couple years on a good training program will help.

This should hopefully seal the deal later on with Lawrence???
 

Winning on road is tough, but more frequent this year in BE. We'll take it. Not getting on Greene's case, but this rally occurred without him.

That first half really disappointed me but they're dominating now, they have to crush on the Depaul's of the Big East to stand a chance.  That's why the Rutgers loss stung.  3-3 in the Big East is good, but with a couple of bad OOC losses, they still have work to do.  .500 in the BE won't get them in but they're starting to show a little something.
