GW's inability to get Battle open looks from deep is hilarious. They've got one of the top 6 or 7 shooters in the league in him and they can't figure out a way to run him off a screen to get him an open look over Tyler Kolek.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Javon. That is twice you have jumped in the air on a Battle fake on the perimeter.

You are six inches shorter and won't block him.

Love,

An actual coach

 

[tblack33]

Can we trade for Bishop?

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

It is really fun to see Polite starting to be college Polite.

 

[gmutom]

Polite picked a great time for his coming out party!

 

[FreeGunston12]

Boy, Ronald Polite has really grown up these past couple weeks.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Javon is doing a great job boarding and pushing down court at least...

This is more of the type of player I'd expected him to be. I'm still not sold that he's ever going to be a good PG (mainly in the sense of facilitating an offense), but as a slasher and when he goes downhill to the basket like that he looks solid.

Ronald polite with 14 points today.

nice.

I’d love for his 3 point shot to start to fall, when it does they have a pretty good guard.

You won't hear it on here, but you have to admit Paulsen deserves credit for it.

Minutes when he wasn't ready, when people on here were screaming to bench him, paying off.

I loved Polite from Day One, but I don't know if I would have had the courage to give him the minutes Paulsen did when he wasn't quite ready...

 

[gmutom]

We ran an inbounds play and even scored on it!

 

[patriot2000]

People make such a big deal of the fresh legs thing, but we leave in all of our starters in the last minute of a blowout

 

[FreeGunston12]

AJ with 1 block. 1 shy of tying the record.

they actually integrated him well. He played sorta 5 minutes then 10-12 minutes. Eventually he adjusted to the speed and now showed he can actually score.

him and Hartwell played some really good minutes in half 2 today sparking the offense.

Lamar Butler tweeting his appreciation.

Love to get the revenge sweep on GW (whose fans think we don't belong in the A10). But if they play like they did in the first half, their chances of beating Davidson are about .01%.

Nothing to lose, guys, take all the chances...all of them...and take your shot.

 

[p8triotfan4life]

I think a 6th place finish and win today sealed Paulsens return.

Ronny Polite looked like Cam Long. Great effort!

I'm so conflicted on this. Do players get better in practice or does it take some real game experience? I definitely think you've got to get the game day jitters out with some experience. It wasn't pretty early. But yeah, he looked real good today.

Do you take the chance on starting him tomorrow?

Meh. He has quietly started getting starter minutes off the bench anyway. I don’t mind starting the streaky Hartwell to see if “good” Jamal shows up.
