Game 8: SBU at Northeastern
« on: December 11, 2015, 04:57:14 pm »
OK, guys, let's get up off the mat and get a W this weekend.

It won't be easy. Northeastern is 6-3, and its losses have come by a combined 10 points. It's already beaten nationally ranked Miami on the road as well - that's among the best mid-major wins this season for sure. They made 12 of 22 threes that day. Miami shot 54 percent that day too.

We beat them 73-66 two years ago at our place. Warney had 14 and 10, and only Walker and Puriefoy played meaningful minutes otherwise. For Northeastern, the kid David Walker, who's averaging 22 a night for them this season, had 13 in that game as a sophomore. Warney v. Ford should be a good matchup on the block. NU has a couple trees inside but they play minimal minutes, and Walker isn't much of a shot blocker. Warney has 25 blocks while nobody on NU has more than eight.

Looks like a toss-up more or less.

Lord help this basketball team when Warney graduates.. No consistency  from the rest of the team. Same as last year. Hopefully the second half is better

Brutal. Warney is 6 for 12 from the field; the rest of them are 4 for 19. Gotta do better than that.
