After the first half at which we were up seven I spoke to myself (nobody else listens): "we are playing our worst BE game so far yet are winning by seven. Go figure". We settled down some in the second half but most of that was due to SJU playing a dreadfully awful half. Our biggest positive for the game was Mosely again and, to a lesser extent, Mulmore.

Loved Mosely going to the rack for two dunk attempts. Yes he missed, but the statement it made was great. Things were getting chippy with Mulmore and Ponds at one point and the Redstorm were getting their fair share of blocks so good to respond with some attitude.

Did anyone who was actually at the game pickup on whether there was a lot of talking/mouthing off between the teams? It certainly appeared that way and the double-technical would seem to confirm it. The attitude isn't necessarily a bad thing if it keeps our guys focused, though I always prefer to avoid a technical if possible - no need to help the other team.

When we face the Johnnies again at MSG they will be waiting for us.... as we did humiliate them!

There was some subtle elbowing back & forth between Mulmore & POnds. Then Owens was getting into it a bit with some of our guys after a few of his admittedly nice blocks. The Johnnies are young and cocky. A reflection of their coach and a good thing for the league I think. If Mullin can stick with it, they'll be solid in a year or two as Ponds, Lovett are four year guys.

Yeah, Owens was very aggressive in terms of elbowing, pushing, etc. Before one out-of-bounds play he nearly shoved over one of our guys while the ref still had the ball, leading the ref to come speak with him. He also missed two dunks. Plus his shorts would fit my nine-year-old.
