Went real early to see warmups. I want to start there. Then move to the game. I was the first person thru my gate. Haha. My daughter loves to go early to games.
Oh Monty!!!!!!! Watched him make ten straight step back threes in warmups. He will be a guy who can easily create his own shot late in the clock. I said this in the preseason. Laffew and Monty are two of the most underrated transfers in the country. I hope I don’t build him up too much but I can’t wait for Monty to hit the court.
Rj can shoot the rock. Somto can shoot too. He has a terrific stroke. It was warmups but rj was making threes with ease. He can stretch the floor if they let him.
I can see what is going on with blue’s stroke. He has worked a corkscrew spin into his shot somehow. It has become too flat and he is fading out of his shot. he is really in his head at the moment. If he shot well no telling what we beat them by.
Newell can make threes. Saw him make several in a row in warmups. Savo shoots it very well also. Laffew is scary from there. Lawrence has done some work on his stroke. It still needs some work but it is so much better than when I saw him a few years ago.
Side note: never seen a team shoot it as well as Notre dame did from the perimeter in warmups. The whole team. They shot 70 percent in warmups. Easy.
The game:
Silas is an elite defender. He is incredibly physical. He guarded their three spot. A massive three too. He was banging with him. Then early in the game he made it hard for them to even get into the front court. He took one player totally out of the game. Never came back in. Good to see him hit a three.
Asa. It doesn’t come across on tv as much. But in person, he is so quick for his size. His first step, side to side and leaping is so lightning fast for his size. It is mouth dropping. He and rj are absolutely hell on the offensive boards.
We out rebounded these guys easily. We didn’t shoot it well from deep, but we still clobbered them. Defense and not turning over the ball was so fun to watch. We got great looks all night. We are hell on defense man. And we are physical. Really physical.
It is so very hard for me to post this. I don’t know how to feel about how good this team can be at times. The refs were absolutely pathetic. Outside of Leffew we shot the ball horribly from the arc. I know how we beat ucf so bad. If the game was reffed evenly, and we shoot it well from the arc we win by 40. That isn’t an exaggeration. Blue was worth ten of those points by himself. We missed our first 6 shots from deep out of the gate. Still won by 21. Just freaking damn!!!
Last but not least. Leffew is a scorer. He can score anytime he wants. He plays solid defense as well. We run some outstanding sets too out of timeouts. We worked hard on out of bounds plays. You could see it.
That was as enjoyable experience as I have had watching the dawgs in the steg in a really, really long time. Long way to go. The sec is terrific. But these guys are not going to be an easy out for anybody.
