Good Opener
Nov 19, 2008 Eagles Commentary
The ‘Cuse guards were too much for Richmond last night. The game became pretty simple in the second half — the perimeter defenders for the Spiders were simply incapable of containing Devendorf and Flynn.
If Devendorf wasn’t getting open for a jumper with a jab-step, then he or Flynn were taking their man off the dribble and getting a layup. The two combined for nearly fifty points.
It’s good to see those guys working together this early in the season. However, it’s important to realize that the Orange won’t necessarily be able to rely on them like this once Big East play starts and quality defensive teams get to work.
That’s why I was pleased to see Onauku get at least one good seal in the second half and Flynn got the ball to him for an easy dunk.
After Oakland on Friday, things will really start to get fun. Florida, neutral site, Monday at 7:30. ESPN.
