In response to Penndemonium
A few random Bucknell observations:
- Then team was dominating Bucknell for most of the game, but then it hit a brutal stretch when the team looked unsure of its passes, moved the ball slowly, turned the ball over, and didn't defend that well. Maybe it was a lull from overconfidence.
- Slajchert looked like a real veteran leader for the first game and a half. He looked a bit more like his Freshman self during Bucknell's run. He turned the ball over, his shot looked rushed, and he made some lackadaisical passes.
- I had low expectations for Walter, since he didn't have an impressive college career before his transfer. He has shown he makes really good cuts to the hoop. That is a knack that I'd love to see more players make.
- Perkins was great. My expectations were already high, but he really filled the stat sheet. He also settled the team down to stop the Bucknell run. One other thing - For a portion of the game, I just focused on watching him. I liked what I saw of him on defense. He does a good job of not losing track of the players he is defending, while putting himself in range to provide help. He should keep his hands up more. He is a potential star.
- Thrower had a good spurt on offense and shot the ball well on a few possessions. He made some attempts to get to the hoop and got bottled up. It will take time, but I think he can get better if SD gives him the opportunity to stay out there.
On to St. Joe's!
