Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Coach indicated that the 4 guard lineup that VCU used allowed him to use Marvin more. Praised him a lot on the post game interview but I didn't get the impression that he plans to use him more going forward.

Marvin should get minutes EVERY game. I understand he may not always play as many minutes as he did today but he should play at least 7-10 minutes every game.

Always glad to see our OOC opponents pull out wins like this. Congrats on the big win today!

Aftre that game, I am officially on the Buss train. However, keep him coming of the bench. It's really nice seeing a lead grow with the reserves and keeps the team fresh.

39 pts off the bench, we've never had that kind of production. I'm pretty sure Buss doesn't mind coming off the bench.

Congratulations Panther fans,

You guys certainly won that game more than we lost it. Hopefully the season turns around for you all with this one.

Thanks for all of the constructive dialogue you've given us this past week. Always nice to have some opposing fans come here and engage in ACTUAL discussion about upcoming contests. You're a class act DB.

Best of luck to the Rams on the rest of the season. We hope they continue to find success in the win column, if not for their own sake, then ours.

There was a thread the other day comparing and contrasting KA and Deon.

I think the biggest difference is Strength. KA was a tank. Soooo strong with the ball. Deon gets out of control and a lot of it is allowing players to get in on him.

Anyone posting video of the post game press conferences this year?

Speaking of strength, does it drive anybody else nuts when Tuttle makes a move, and goes up with his arms flailing, but had the ball stripped? Ugh, I swear it happens 2-3 times a game, drives me insane.

So very happy for Marvin. i thought it was over for him. Coach Jake described the extra practice time Marvin had been putting in, even though he wasn't seeing the court. Sounds like a great character guy. The crowd sounded a little louder for the Marvin baskets too.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

What a fantastic win. This will be a HUGE confidence boost from an individual player perspective and from a team perspective.

Oh, and I take back every bad thing I've ever said about Singleton.

Marvin could be that "Lucas O'Rear" type player for us. Carries a lunch pail with him and just does work. REALLY hope to see him in the regular rotation.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

The whole day was great from the little girl singing the national anthem to the halftime show to the game
Fantastic day. Too bad there was not a packed house to see. The whole day was well worth the price of a ticket

The six of us had a great day and are looking forward to heading back for the Iona game

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Who was that team & where did we get them since Tuesday!!??

Good thing we had several days to prepare for VCU. Still need to shore up our FT shooting & 3 point shots. Haven't checked out the actual stats, but I was most confident with Marvin's FT & Buss's 3s.

VCU has to be one of the quickest/most athletic teams (and deep with those characteristics) that we have beaten in the McLeod. Good thing they missed shots in the middle of the first half. Surprised we got some steals. Surprised we won without Buss in the last several minutes - but then we were getting some offense without him, and also getting some stops. He is playing better defense - must get the block-outs. Sometimes VCU made scoring look easy - super quick shake & bake moves. Sometimes we got the stops (or they did not attack us right).

Loved Seth's slam from the weak side on the alley-oop.

Started the game with a new play (did not quite work). Also started in a box & 1 (didn't work either).

Morgan is growing before our eyes. Sticking the three, stealing the ball with his long arms & quicks. What is Washpun's vertical?

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

And does anyone think Washpun would win a tip off?

Been sayin this since day 1.
