6-3/190 fr G Randall Gaskins Jr. 7.5 ppg
Two quick things:
1. Any word on Sekunda?
2. Why aren't their odds on America East games? I've always
wondered.
This will be a nice test for us. Let's see what kind of guts we
have after getting humiliated in a big spot. And which team are
we going to get?
On a neutral court, I think we'd be a slight favorite. On their
court, maybe a pick 'em or a slight dog. I expect this to be
close.
Our one common opponent is Lehigh, who we squeaked by at home
whereas St. Francis lost by 33 in Bethlehem. We could very well
have done the same if we didn't have the shooting night that we
did. Also, some Lehigh freshman who had zero points in minimal
minutes against us dropped 10 threes on St. Francis.
Hit pretty good by graduation (their top three scorers from
'15-16), you can see above just how young they are. It would
seem that their best days are ahead of them. Their top five
scorers are either freshmen or sophomores, led by King, who
played nine minutes a game as a freshman. Braxton's an
interesting kid. Just 6-4, just a freshman, yet he had 12 boards
in SFU's win over Longwood, and 15 boards to help beat American.
Also, Nebo, their top returnee from last year, is a solid rim
protector, ranking in the top 100 nationally in blocks. At just
6-8/215, he's more manageable of a matchup for Sturdivant than
Gustys, Kempton and the Rutgers frontcourt the last three games.
It's a little difficult to get a read on what they do best based
on the stats. They beat some team named Chatham, 119-59, where
they shot 60 percent, hit 19 of 32 threes, won the rebound
battle 54-31. That skews things. For example, they had 30
assists in that game and average about 13 in the other seven
games. Somehow Chatham played 22 guys in the game. A Division
III team, Chatham's three wins came over Franciscan, Penn State
Beaver and Penn State New Kensington.
Of the numbers in their favor, they shoot the three well (.406),
albeit not that often in the big picture. They defend it worse
(.411).
More than anything else, I hope that we work to get Sturdy back
into the flow of things, and that we see more strides from
Almonacy and Campbell. Conference play is right around the
corner.

Sekunda is back tonight. No Yeboah though. I heard concussion so
hopefully 11 days is enough to get back on the floor for NJIT.

I'm glad Boals made the move to dial back Iroegbu's minutes.
Nice first half for Saintel with 9 and 6. The lead was double
digits but it's just six now. Still pretty good spot to be in on
the road.

No bigs on the floor for this game outside of Petras playing
only a couple of minutes.. Campbell needs more minutes to
improve his game

Yes, brutal day for travel. I only caught a quick two minutes or
so of the online feed in the second half, but appears an overall
solid effort on the road. Nice bounce-back win I'm sure.
And...Campbell doesn't even earn 2-3 mins? Seems strange as the
guy shows moments of promise when he's in.
