He makes 2 stupid plays per half, but we have got to stick with Branch and let him get confidence. I truly believe our offense is best with him at point. He can penetrate better than anyone else in the half court. And despite his occasional charge or pass thrown away.. he's our best guard to lead the break too.

Had a struggling Jordan wide open for a layup on that play where he charged and got blocked from behind. During the cruddy part of the schedule I would just force feed Jordan. Hopefully gets this out of the way early, because if he is going to be good, we are going to need him.

Let Jordan play alongside Branch and Harrison in 3 guard sets, and he can take over the point when Branch goes to the bench. There's plenty of minutes for Jordan; but Branch needs to be given the chance to be the lead guard.

Penn State 84 Monmouth 52. Friday could be a long night for SJU.
Branch runs the fast break like an old man going to get a bowl of soup
FWIW, I counted 3 good moves by Branch on that last possession. Gave Harrison an open 3, Achiuwa an open lob, and he drove and got fouled.
