That was a damn fine performance. Yeah, I know BC might not be all that good this year, but they are an ACC team and we were missing one of our best players. And we steamrolled them. I have a larger observation regarding our defense but I'll save that for another thread.
Here are my player observations.
Gilyard: The last 5 minutes of the first half and the entire second half were about as a dominant performance you will see from any player. He was simply masterful, making steals, hitting big shot after big shot, setting up his teammates. BC had no answer for Gilyard.
Francis: Very solid game. Love his hustle and shot making ability. He scores point when no one else can or wants to and that is going to keep us in games when the rest of the team gets out of sync.
Cayo: Great first half before tweaking his ankle. Showed off a variety of moves around the basket. Quiet second half, didn't need him, but glad he could grit it out.
Sherod: I've said it before, that Andre and Burton are gonna be taking some of his minutes at time if he can't supply offense. Today was exhibit A. Ended up not needing his offense, but scorers who go 1-9 and 0-5 from 3, are gonna lose some minutes
Sal: Big opportunity for Sal, getting the start. Didn't think he capitalized as much as he could. Looked really tentative on offense. Needs to take the shots when they come to him on offense. I thought he gave us some really good defense in his time out there though.
Burton: Damn: This guy's energy is relentless. He is literally all over the court, but also much more under control. His size, athletic ability, and instincts as a rebounder and defensive player is something we haven't seen in a long time. As great of a game as Gilyard had, glad he the player of the game nod, cause he deserved it.
Andre: Also another really good game. We are seeing his role develop, as a player who can basically play anywhere from the 1-3 out there, play some lock down defense, active on boards and can hit some shots.
Grace: Trying to say something positive, but I just can't. Gilyard even gift wrapped him a bunny and he missed it. Just a very passive player on both ends.
Woj: The battle between Woj and Andre, 2 players who we thought we going to battle it out for one spot, I think has been decively won by Goose. Woj is a 3 point shooter and he keeps passing up looks. Confidence looks really shaken.
