Great win tonight. Actually great.
A flash from everyone w/ Laz, Goodwin making some plays, good D by Cormac & the freshman both played amazing.
Both freshman look like they have a ton of composure which should bode well in ACC play.
This team looks like they could be good. MSU game should show where they are.
Having three legit scorers in Goodwin, Laz & JJ should be able to pull some upsets, IMO.
JJ played out of his mind, so efficient offensively. Hope to see him improve at the FT line as the season wears on, my only TINY criticism.
One thing I like about Cormac other than his very underrated offensive game: You could kind of tell he didn't have the shooting touch last night, and he quickly pivoted to making the extra pass offensively. Almost like he decided instead of forcing the issue, I'm going to punt my touches/shot opportunities to the other guys who are making plays. The whole squad played very unselfish basketball last night.
Give me ALL of the inside-out post action to Goodwin this year. I love his vision on the block and his ability to overmatch smaller guards in the post. If he doesn't like his match up, he'll buy some time and he is SO good at finding an open teammate on the perimeter if/when their defender comes inside to help in the post.
Still not a great defensive effort but much better in the 2nd half. Again, I was pretty shocked to see how many tough and contested shots BGSU was making early on. Uncanny how many low percentage FGs have been dropping for our opponents so I'm hoping if that regresses to the mean, our defensive numbers will improve a bit.
Finally, Nate Goodwin is going to be a problem for ACC defenses this year. Holy cow does he look sharp this season. He's got a whole new moxie leading this team.
