Good finish!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Atta boy Zakai

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Good finish!

 

[volfan__18]

Dalton is a saving grace. He’s a baller.

 

[PKT_VOL]

Wow. Knecht is unreal.

Nice to see ZZ see a bucket go in before the half.

 

[fear]

going into half with momentum, and KNECHT IS THAT DUDE

 

[Tenacjim]

Thank God for Dalton or this would be really ugly!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Come out fired up in the 2nd half, Cuse been running their mouths we can break them if we start hot.

 

[Creeker]

Nice! Hope that helps get ZZ going. That’s the type of shot that will build his confidence back up. Hats off to Syracuse I think they scouted us well and had a good plan. We adjusted, and came back. Should be a fun second half.

 

[sportsnut624]

Good end after a sloppy start. I’ll take it

 

[Larkin]

We are a better team but I see us shooting better in the second half.
Did they turn the thermostat up? Knecht looks like he's been playing in a sauna

 

[Kicker82]

Knecht is a game changer...terrible half by everyone else and we are winning by 5 cause of him.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Actually the announcer said he was 7’4”

Sorry i was replying to someone else asking if anyone had played against a 7'4" guy and I meant I had against a 7'2" guy lol

 

[Christian Lowe]

Knecht is saving white boy basketball culture

 

[MoCo_Vol]

This could be that game where DK goes for 40...

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Sloppy at times, but put it on them at the end of the half!

 

[turdherder11]

Muddy game going on here. We're in the slop. I like the finish to the 1st half

 

[Frozevol]

God did you see that mauling of knecht … and he made the shot. Should have been a flagrant.

They’ve been playing him tight and at times, way past what they should be allowing. But he’s a baller, I haven’t been this impressed by one of our players to this degree in a long, long time.

 

[RAVOL]

Best 4mns we needed of this half. Dalton is Dalton. Love mns from JP and JJJ was good. Definitely got more aggressive as half played out. 2nd half let's see JG get going. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Damn knecht with 15 at halftime

 

[Big Orange#1]

Knecht is a game changer...terrible half by everyone else and we are winning by 5 cause of him.

Hes a star

 

[ColinS]

Thank God for Dalton or this would be really ugly!

He seeing way better defense than he saw against that crappy Wisconsin D yet he is still getting his points and carrying us on offense.

 

[coachchia]

I sure wish we would stop / slow down dribble penetration...
Another thing I wish... for anyone down low to pump fake and go up strong with 2 hands...
