Fordham 73, STJ 60
Severe with 34. Fordham hits 13 threes as we sit in a slow and unresponsive California Zone to start the game, fall behind early and never get closer than 8. Lavin experiences his first strong criticism from the media.
If it's all the same to everyone, I'd like to adjust my score prediction.
It was just a matter of time before SJU put a beating on a less talented team like this. They are WAAAYYYY too talented to be struggling against the Longwood's of the world.
It was early and as soon as Sanchez finds his role like today and Jordan stops pressing and let's the game come to him and Pointer just does EVERYTHING this team can be really dangerous. I know this is only Fordham but this is easily Pecora's best team so far even with the slim depth and Frazier and Severe have been a good backcourt. But they just ran into a team that when they start to putting it together can REALLY be good. I mean Lavin pulled Obekpa and Harrison with 10 minutes to go and they still push the lead up to near 50.
I mean Pointer was guarding Severe and Severe had NO chance, none. Pointer could stay with him off the bounce and then when he tried to go inside he got his shot swatted.
