Re: Game Thread - Central State Marauders

Opponent Div 2. Don’t care about scoring. Want to see box outs, stop penetration and rebounds. Play Defense. Last game pathetic. Time to sit the bench if a player reaches and gets beat down the lane. Very concerned about W&M game. They play 10 deep. Very solid on both ends. Coach a good guy and good coach. Unfortunately, that league is kicking butt against the A10 teams. Next Tuesday at home Coach Dru got to instill basic defensive concepts  with the team. If not another pre conference disaster for the Dukes.

Pretty sad to see other A10 teams playing legitimate D1 competition during Feast Week, and here we are playing D2 Central State University of Ohio.

This team should have been at Akron and NE played on our court. Ever game makes or breaks your RPI and an at large bid. The last game, at least should show the coaches and more important, to our players, the need to play defense. Offense was good and aggressive, but  just a few stops at all was the difference in winning or losing. Going forward, fix it.

Re: Game Thread - Central State Marauders

This game does not need to be this close at 14:50. Sloppy. And too often blow the bucket when they get a steal or turnover. Easily should be up 10 or more

Re: Game Thread - Central State Marauders

Best play at 5:24?  No 3 pointer due to shot clock violation on Central. These guys are Div II?

Re: Game Thread - Central State Marauders

Central State really impressed. Wouldn't be surprised if they make the final four in Division 2. They could beat 150 of D-1 teams from the ton of games I watched so far this year. Max Edwards is the man.

Re: Game Thread - Central State Marauders

Mackalls article answered a lot of questions based upon Coach Dru post game quotes about practicing and playing hard. I think Max is buying in based upon his performance last night.
