Didn't think he played well, but then I look at the boxscore and he had 6 boards and 5 steals. Carton was the best player on the floor for Marquette and while he shot the ball efficiently we turned him over 8 times. Literally proof that if you play hard you can make things happen that contribute to team success even when you're not playing your best. He was a pest defensively all game which is great. But his shot really just isn’t falling right now (short, midrange and from three). He should really focus on driving and kicking/distributing. His quickness gets him to good spots but too many are turning into missed shots.

With Nova playing backup guards tomorrow, Dante's defense could be a huge factor again.

With Nova playing backup guards tomorrow, Dante's defense could be a huge factor again. Exactly!! Dante needs to pressure the Nova ball handlers all game. Pick them up in the back court and disrupt their offense. He doesn't need to get steals, just make it hard for them to get into their sets and throw off the timing of their offense. He is quick enough to keep the ball handler from getting to the screens on the PnR's that Nova runs and if he can do that then the Hoyas should be able to limit alot of the switches that can cause them problems. He seems to be struggling shooting of late, so he needs to focus on solid defense and distributing the ball to his teammates. Jay Wright is a really good game coach so I expect Nova will shade the defense to other guys and leave Dante open for some shots. He needs to have the confidence to take those shots when he really is open and know them down, just don't force anything on offense.

Major stones on this kid. He belongs in this league despite what some people would have you believe.

He keeps making shots like he did today, I think we are ok at the PG spot for a while to come.

Don't know if many of you caught the press conference but Coach was saying that they didn't know if Dante would be able to play in this game as he has some kind of injury. Sounds like it will be an on going thing for the rest of the season so I could see them reduce his minutes which would move Blair to point and Berger getting some more time. Would love to see more Berger and less Dante. File under posts that don't age well. The kid draws a foul from the conference co-player of the year to get to the line and win the Nova game. How does it feel to have zero credibility?

18pts 5assist 0 FREAKING TURNOVERS!!! Lord have mercy what a game from this kid. Dante's been great for a while (I know you know this), except his jumper has been a half inch short and he's still adjusting to shooting at the rim with taller people around. He has a nice stroke and gets good separation and elevation. It is a matter of time if he works hard. He's quick as hell and you can tell he's got some court savvy, so I expect he learns to finishes better at the rim. His handle is slick as heck. He works hard on D. What's not to love?

I couldn't possibly agree with this more. He plays his damn heart out on both sides of the floor and hasn't backed down against anyone in his matchups. We've had a lot of freshman guards over the years that haven't shot well that have turned out to be good and sometimes our best offensive player by the time their junior and senior years came around. This kid gets me pumped up watching the game and i'll say it again...THE WAY HE PLAYS IS CONTAGIOUS!
