Happy to get a "W" yesterday. At this time of year, that's all that matters. I am glad they don't give style points. York clearly had a physical advantage, but kudos to Yeshiva because we couldn't put them away. Yeshiva had nice fan support. Very well represented. Nice crowd considering everything. If we play the same tonight, we'll be in for a rough time. We missed a lot of defensive assignments. They shot lots of uncontested layups.
I watched Hamilton defeat Nazareth and they look tough. They are quick and big. #24 Gilmour looks like the real deal, I imagine it will be Jason's task to slow him down. #30 and #44 took it to the hoop and created lots of points in the paint. They play in a very tough conference NESCAC, and their conference went 4-0 in the opening round. You know that means that they've played some very tough competition this year. It looks like they had a similar season to York. Started 15-0, but then some tough conference losses. I am expecting an exciting close game.
Even though I am expecting a tough game, I am also expecting York to find a way to win on their home court. I also expect our seniors to lead the way.
I've noticed that Matt seems to be taking it to the basket more, since everyone concentrates on stopping his 3pt shots, he has been able to convert some easy shots or kick it out to an open shooter if nothing opens up. Even though I love the defense that Jason plays, I hope he uses his quickness to also go to the hoop. Create some foul trouble for their bigs. Because of their height, I feel this might be a game that Joey P. plays a big part.
I am one who feels defense wins championships. If we do that, we win.
Let's go Spartans!
Congrats to CNU on their victory last night. Do it again tonight.
