Why on earth would we switch back to the D that put us in such a bad hole? Temple half court offense is better than our half court D...period.
 
Great comeback. Big minutes by Nsoseme in the 2nd half. We embarrassed them on the boards. Stopping the wide open threes in the second half was the difference to allow the comeback. That and Jarron drawing fouls and second chance points.
 
That's a nice win. Couldn't make a shot and it didn't matter. Defensive pressure in the second half and my god we kicked their ass on the glass. Complete domination of the boards.

Cumberland is basically doing a college version of James Harden. He's gotta be one of the most frustrating players to try and stop and I love him. So crafty, so smart with his positioning on offense. Made incredible strides with his footwork, body control in traffic compared to freshman year when he often times would barrel in the lane and get a charge. Watching him work defenders is so much fun.
 
That was a great team win. Moore really was a big factor on his full court D. Nsoseme had some huge rebounds, LoJo mad some big stops. Williams and Jenifer had some huge stops and 3’s....of course Cumberland brought it home on offense.
 
I'll say it again, the key to this team is Justin being able to stay on the floor. He took some bad shots in the first half and rode the pine and our D suffered. Same with Williams being on the bench most of the first half with foul trouble. With them two in the game most of the second half and also the bigs coming out to defend the three ball here and there we shut down the open threes and killed what Temple could do on offense. Once we force bad shots and own the glass like we did Cumberland is too good to hold down too long. That and second chance points. I didnt think we had it today. Noon game in an arena we never play well in. Credit this team for not giving up and digging deep on defense and rebounding. Great win today if for nothing else avoiding the loss.
 
Nice effort the second half! I was about to write us off in the first half. Best rebounding I’ve seen in a long time. It’s going to be fun watching Keith and Logan running around next year on D and offensive rebounds. They are very disruptive

He has incredible IQ. He seeks out defenders that are out of position and exposes them on a drive. He has to be the smartest offensive player Cronin has ever coached here.
 
This game has to go down as Nsoseme's best and probably player of the game. Totally unexpected, not just stop gapping, but was one of the best players on the court when he was in.

comparing Harden and Cumberland is right on. Great future ahead of him.
