RE: Kean University
Interesting game tonight. You could clearly notice the difference in talent level between the 2 teams, but I do give Kean credit for playing this game and battling it out the best they could.
This looked like an opportunity for Drexel to get open and take 3 point shots. From an attempt standpoint, they not only beat...but completely shattered the Drexel record for 3 point attempts in a game with 41 attempts. The previous record was 32 attempts done twice, both in 2006. Problem is Drexel only made 12 of those attempts, and so many of there were wide open.
Zach gave opportunities for EVERYBODY to play tonight (minus Bah and O who are dealing with injuries). 13 different players played tonight and everybody except Moran scored at least 1 point. That includes, Alford, Ford Jr, and Cartwright. I found myself pulling out the program just to figure out who some of these guys were. Major Canady was back on the court tonight and that was great to see. He made just 1 of 4 FT attempts but received a standing ovation from his teammates after scoring his 1st point in 3 years.
Earlier in this post, I questioned why this game was even played. But since it gave the walk-ons and seldom used players some significant minutes, I'm OK with playing this game.
One other interesting note: Kean had 9 different players score so combined, the 132 points scored by both teams were scored by 21 different players. You don't see that every day.
