His line for the two games this week: 48 pts, 14 rebs, 4 blocks, 3 steals, 4 assts, 3 pfs in 73 mins. Well done, young man. Should be MAC East POW.

If NDOUR can hold up, use him 40. Hopefully he CAN hold up through the grind of MAC play.
The only reason he's ever been on the pine this year is fouls. Saul never rests him and he never seems to have ill effects from playing a lot of minutes. Our problem all year is Ndour not playing enough, and that's usually caused by poor defense from the guards leading to Mo fouling when he is forced to help late. That generally happened less against Buffalo and it's a big reason Ohio won.
That is a good point. This year, that has held true. My concern would date back to his back problems last season. Hopefully that is in the past. He didn't have issues during FIBA either... But that is a lot of basketball.

Of all the players I regret not being able to watch in person since I left Athens, this guy is No. 1. Athletic, lanky shooting 4's with hops are great players to appreciate in person.

watching that I do not see what Hurley is complaining about. Nice throw by tc. Most guys put the big guy on the other end ....we put him where he can see over the floor. Cool

Can't for the life of me see Hurley in any position to call anyone unprofessional after watching him on the sideline ALL day long in EVERY game I see.
What wasn't really talked about much was Coach Hurley being restrained at the end of the handshake line by one of his players. It occured as OUr guys started walking toward the OZone to high five, etc. Maybe he needs to see more of himself on tape to understand he's in no position to make that comment in the post game press conference.

What did NDour's "shot chart" look like for the game? In previous games, the team was jacking up 3s and not getting the ball inside. Sounds like they worked the ball inside more. Correct? Or were his points mostly from the outside?

Almost exclusively in the paint. He hit one three and took some jumpers that he mostly missed. He owned the paint though. I have no data to back it up but I think his jumper has been off this year.
