Good win against a solid team. Pollard and Retin both had good games which could bode well for the future.
By all normal standards, they should have dominated the inside with Powell, Brown and the kid with the funny name. Instead, out rebounded them and beat them in the paint...
I know it's early but I'm starting to get excited about next year. With the way this team has grown here at the end of the year and what we have coming back, if Taylor is half of what he's supposed to be then I think we could have a Top 10 team next year.
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but I just think that adding a little but of a quality inside-outside game to our offense could really open it up.

We dont have any capable low post big men besides nick jacobs to be top 10 and even he is iffy. If were top 25 for a few weeks id be happy. If we dont make it to the tourney next year then there will be a burning hot seat underneath CAG
....
We shot under 40%, yet still never were really threatened. Why? We drove to the basket and drew fouls (making over 80% of our FT's), we rebounded like mad men (FIVE guys with at least 6 boards), and we never let them get in any rhythm. I love it...
Umm, yeah...
Hence the Taylor reference. :-/

Good job, good effort. hah.
Seriously though, Retin, Randolph, and Jacobs played well. When we can get a good game from a forward and pivot, we usually win. Need to see this more against Maryland. As good of time as any to develop some things into 2013-2014.

Top 10 might be pushing it but I definetely see us being in the top 25. This team should be in the tourney this year and if Retin would of came on a little sooner, we might of been in better shape. I wonder if Steele was holding him back? But if Taylor comes in ready and picks everything up quick, we could be pretty dangerous.
I tend to agree with this. We were at best a two-and-done NCAA tourney team (likely seeded into a one-and-done situation). I'd rather play more games against decent competition because almost the whole team returns next year. Obasohan, Jacobs, and Pollard could use the additional minutes to grow into their roles for next season.
This is kinda like bowl game practice (sorry for the football analogy) which has been huge for our development. It has been noted several times but the players that have benefited from it the most is Retin and Pollard. Also, I think we definitely got the better one of the Releford brothers. I've watched KU play several times and TRelly is a better player than his brother. Just my opinion. RTR. Here's hoping a return trip to MSG. We have played well there this year already.
Very good game and effort. Obasahan is a player, Pollard is coming on and the other guys are improving as well.
Telling statistic--We are 303rd among D-1 teams in terms of experience.
This is a very young team and I think Grant has done a fantastic job. Every team I read the words "Hot seat" I roll my eyes and ask, "Are you kidding me?"
Maryland will be difficult. Any team that can beat Duke twice is definitely a very capable team.
We'll have our hands full but hopefully we can pull it out head for New York.
RTR!

Appeared to me that Dawkins had some harsh words for Grant after the game. Anyone else see it that way?
