43-32 Youngstown St. leads GW at the half. Going to need a big comeback if we want a 4-0 day.

Things not looking good for GW, YSU went on a 20-4 run to end the half. YSUs big man has been doing great

Possibly the worst game I've ever seen Dillard play at UD and he somehow managed a double double

Can't remember which Temple fan kept saying Sanford was nothing but an average A10 player...if that... well, I'm chuckling a bit now.

I'm somewhat confused by what Dr. G is trying to do here. Duren is playing off the ball way too much with Mills and Galloway are doing a lot of the ball handling. Both can make plays, but Duren needs to have the ball in his hands.

I would never have expected Zack to play so well despite Delaware being a somewhat small team. That's definitely a good sign for LaSalle, since their best players didn't have much of a game. I wouldn't expect Galloway, Duren, and Mills to combine for 7-29 shooting many times this year. But, hey, keep up that 92% free throw shooting!

Wasn't there a discussion in the Williams vs. Dillard thread where someone posted that Dillard would never have a 3/13 game because he would stop shooting? Ah good times.

Vee Sanford was awesome. Kid is a player. He is smooth shooting the ball and a damn good all around athlete.

Dillard really struggled early, ASU has quick guards and good length. But he fought through it and ended up with a pretty damn good stat line.

Josh Benson looks better than ever. Easy 14 and 8 from him on 7-9 shooting. The 15-18 footer looks to be a weapon for him now, which could make him into an all league player. He and Vee both had to sit for several minutes with fouls, which helped keep the margin down.

Khari Price sat out with a concussion, I think, but all three freshman that played looked pretty good. The bigs were taken to school on defense a couple of times, but that happens. Dyshawn Pierre is an athlete, man. And a decent shooter to boot. None will be stars right away, but they will all be positive contributors. This freshman class can play.

All in all a good, solid opener. It was nice to see Gavrilovic play 18 minutes. He looked gassed at times, but that's to be expected early. He certainly didn't lose much if any weight from the Mono. He could be back to normal in a couple weeks, sooner than expected.

Arky State was a fun opponent to watch UD play. They are very athletic and made some insanely tough shots. They'll compete in the Sun Belt for sure. Kendrick Washington is a damn tank.

GW right back in it down 4.

owlfan2272 · 11-10-2012, 02:57 PM

GW down 2 with 3 to play. Going to be a good finish.

owlfan2272 · 11-10-2012, 03:18 PM

Disappointing loss for GW losing 80-73 at home to Youngstown St.

Haha it was actually 2-12 (which Dillard was at one point in this game), but good memory. Ahhh yes that was me. Guess I was wrong on that one.

Flyer75 · 11-10-2012, 03:58 PM

Good grief GW.

Hmm, Dr.G has one of the top PG's in the league, and he is playing him off the ball? Shocking. Not really.

bprichard · 11-10-2012, 04:20 PM

Terrible loss by GW, but at least Alabama lost. I can't believe A&M went into Tuscaloosa and won.

Flyer75 · 11-10-2012, 04:40 PM

One thing about Vee that will be surprising to people who haven't watched him is his athleticism. Its way up there for a SG.

IF Benson continues to hit the the 15+ foot jumper (3/4) today and one was darn near a three, he will be very very hard to guard.

I think we found out that Vee can light up the scoreboard on occassion. Pierre is impressing me too. He has a nicely rounded game and good athleticism. I thought we should have rebounded better but Arkansas State had some beef and was not without talent, especially with their big guy who was something like 270 lbs. We shot the three suprisingly well as a team. I think our defensive ability is much improved over last year. Last year we never would have covered their three point shooters as well as we did today. Even though Dillard did not put up good shooting numbers today, he made most of the good things happen for UD. You can credit him for manufacturing a lot of the other guys open looks.

Benson looks good. He can nail the 15-18 footer which is going to make him tough to stop.
