SDJ

[HuntsmanSpider]

A manufactured spotlight was on him all week, so what does he do? 6-10 from 3, with two big FTs in WINNING TIME. Getting it done when the stakes are raised, that was fun to watch! Great performance ShawnDre'!

 

[spiders13]

ICE MAN.

 

[72Spider]

You both put the finger on it!

 

[Spider B]

SDJ was awesome. He damn near made the last shot in regulation. He can also break the RPI press by himself.

 

[MidloTrader]

Huge game, SDJ! Good to see you "light it up"!!!!!!

 

[fan2011]

SDJ has become a star in A10 play.

That ought to shut those VCU people up. They post fake photos online to try to drive a wedge in the team. Didn't work.

Been waiting for Dre to have a game like tonight to validate my username ... Fun to watch and glad to have him for a couple more years!

sdj was absolutely huge. Big shot after big shot.

I know Kendall was facing a lot of defensive pressure and double teams at times, but despite that I thought SDJ played better than Kendall tonight. Definitely showed up after all the drama from the past couple days.

 

[SpiderK]

Kendall had a pretty bad night for him, but SDJ was the "Iceman" as mentioned above.

 

[whampas]

Dre gave them the finger with his play.

I think 97 was saying, that whole BS thing could have gone either way. I really thought it would have a negative affect. Glad to be wrong. Huge game from ShawnDre.

 

[97spiderfan]

sdj showed me a ton of mental fortitude tonight. I personally thought he would let the drama get to him, instead I think it fueled him.

Shawndre is our leader the next 2 years. Period. End of story.

Agree, the last few games have been sort of the passing of the torch to SDJ.

Such a good game by Shawn'Dre, and I am looking forward to seeing what the rest of this year and following two years bring for him as a Spider. And he almost had the most epic game winner in regulation.

 

[SpiderRick]

I love the passion that he and TJ Cline have brought to the Spiders. And, this year at least, he seems to be better coming off the bench for now.

 

[spider fan]

Enjoyed the post game radio interview when Dre' talked about the back and forth on the second foul shot at the close of the first overtime. Said he hadn't practiced intentionally missing and had to concentrate. That could not have been scripted any better and Trey and TJ were instrumental in that as well. Helped greatly that VCU player(s) dropped off of TJ and ran toward Trey out of bounds.

The kid is playing big,with a ton of confidence ans self assurance.He is hitting his stride.With his elevated level of game we are winning.

 

[SpiderK]

RPI made an effort to take Kendall away and SDJ just stepped up big. We still should have gone low to Terry more, they had no answer for him either.

 

[Not-A-Homer]

The way Shawndre Jones responded to the drama of the past week was very impressive. The controversy would have caused many players to be tentative. Jones used it as motivation and placed his foot squarely across the throat of the opponent.

The mindset and the confidence produced the type of performance needed to win close games. Great to see!

it is a bit ironic that this manufactured episode with SDJ, in likely an attempt to fire up VCU's team etc & twittered all over the place by those rowdy rams, may have just fired SDJ & his team up.

That irony is delicious isn't it. They pulled out all of the stops to get the controversy ginned up, even getting the local media to bite, and it blew up right in there faces.

You would think a lesson over at Ram nation would be learned by this, but I highly doubt it.

 

[spider fan]

St Joe's is too classy to pull the same episode with SDJ but after the motivational aspect could we get them to try.......................

Yeah, I noticed this exchange of words between ADs before the game:

 

[whampas]

DD, I love it. LOL.
