Fordham Game Discussion

i'd like to see the ball in Jordan's hands at point for the end of this game. Let's see what he can do with the training wheels off.

  Agree. Good opportunity to let him run the team for 6-7 minutes straight

Jordan doesn't look to score. He needs to find his confidence like Sanchez did today

 Good opportunity right here...

 Nothing to complain about today.  Great team effort.

sheed looking really aggressive and solid.

Good job by Lav to get Marco and GG extended minutes in this game. Good to keep them happy for team morale.

Severe 1-19

Great offensive performance.  Best game we've played.  Our talent is starting to show.  Still not our best defensive performance in the first half, but I'll take this any day.  Great way to roll along and destroy Pecora and these guys.  Severe is fine, but obviously we aren't hurting without him.  Sanchez was phenomenal, and we need this Sanchez against a big Cuse team.  He will draw Grant.  Branch was tremendous and more aggressive with his offense.

Anybody who says we don't run an offense is wrong.  It's easy to see when we start running it right, passing and making shots.  Cant say enough about how much I enjoyed this game.  Grest across the board.

Good job by Lav to get Marco and GG extended minutes in this game. Good to keep them happy for team morale.

Not only at, they're smart and capable players on our roster.  When they play, our depth really shines. 

In case anyone was wondering the difference between Big East players and A-10....

Severe 1-19

And he's complaining to refs about some phantom foul as his misses his second or third dunk of the game...  Lol

Jordan started to look for his offense more later in the game.  Agree with Dave's comment.

Given the discussion on this board the past few weeks, this game could not have gone better.  We played great - everyone got involved.  And Severe went 1-20.  I'm not rooting against the kid by any means (except when he plays us), but nonetheless it is ironic.

We obviously shot the ball at a rate that won't be duplicated again.  But Orlando's performance today is a big takeaway for me.  We expected something like this -- Brownlee esque but bigger. 

Fordham reminds me of Iona.  They have some nice guards who can shoot the ball and score, but there defense and size is severely lacking.  Fordham plays in a far superior conference, so we won't see them make any noise like Iona might in the MAAC.

Severe went 1-21 from the field.... It's only one game, but I could see why Lavin didn't recruit him...

How was the crowd, size and noise?

Box score says 10k, I wasnt there I'm curious how filled up it was also

Good crowd. We guessed 8500

I saw most of the game on TV, and I didn't see C Jones play but the espn box score reflects that he played 2 minutes.  Can't be right, right??

How was the crowd, size and noise?

I don't know.. i think  we're looking through rose colored glasses because it was such a fun game.    There definitely wasn't 10k there.. but it didn't matter.   Great win for our guys and they all looked pumped to be playing at MSG.   

Good crowd. We guessed 8500

Not bad for a game against Fordham and bad weather...There are some believers and if we can beat Syracuse I think MSG will be rocking again. Too bad their is a week between the games, it would be great to immediately build off of this momentum.

Pointer was 1 rebound short of a triple-double

Jones and Felix appear to be all but officially announced as redshirts. They were sitting behind the bench in red sweat suits just like Gift and Primo did last year.
