Rahon is probably legit and Anderson was very good last year, I think he's just hurt. Everyone else is a big question mark.
that is the definitely a flagrant
Nah
But the refs are about as bad as it gets above the CYO level.
it may not have been an intentional elbow to the face, but it was pretty hard and he made no attempt not to come down with the 'bow.
He had a legit shot at the ball and while he may have been able to stop a bit shorter on the follow through, I didn't blame him for not doing so. Looked aggressive but not flagrant.

What is the injury status/outlook on Clifford ? What about Anderson ? Is Caudill injured too, and if not, why isn't he seeing some more time ?

Hanlon and Rahon will do great both are strong players...Hanlon needs to learn to look to the post on the pic and roll.
I'm still looking for him to start making that pass to Anderson on the Roll how many times was that kid open under the basket and they didn't pass to him. They have to get him more touches, at least learn to find him on the break... I don't think I've seen him make that pass...?

Still don't understand why they are both playing if they have nagging injuries. Let them sit and heal before conference games start.
claver2010 {l Wrote}:Agree, Anderson's ankle is clearly still bothering him (0 points in the 2nd half).
I will say once he's healthy I really like the idea of that small lineup. Van Nest has been a pleasant surprise.
Like 9903, I'm not ready to give up on Jackson and think he's going to get closer to his % last year. Reality is unless he's making his shots he doesn't provide much value out there but we're so thin ACC talent-wise, Donahue has to let him shoot his way out of it.
gaelfu {l Wrote}:I did not say LJ was like Roche. What I said is that on a good ACC team he plays a role similar to what Roche played on the last BC tourney team. As in 15-20 mpg as a shooter.

MattTheEagle {l Wrote}:I miss Jordan Daniels. He could have really helped this team. Olivier Hanlan has proven to be really good and I understand why he would start over Daniels. That being said Daniels had better ballhandling and an ability to break the press which would have really helped us when PSU started playing full court. Also, Daniels had a really good passing and ability to find the open man. There were a few times the ball should have gone down low to the bigs and it was either poorly passed or not passed at all.
