In the media comments after the game Woodson was straight up asked about Gallo - agreed he has been tight this year but didn't seem concerned. Reminds me a little bit about how MM struggled earlier in the season - Gallo has done it before and he'll do it again, just has to get back in his groove. Dude is a baller and that's why he was in at the end (rightfully so).
He finally seems to be getting his legs in proper position. Let's see if he can maintain because he can make plays defensively.
He came through on his FTs at the end with chants of "air ball" ringing in his ears and provided leadership...he has grit.
No..it’s a fact. He’s not a good shooter. We all know that. He needs to provide leadership and defend…he did those two things last night. The way this team is structured the scoring needs to come from Ware, Reneau in the post and Mack needs to knock down shots from the outside. He’s getting better. Once he starts reacting to the defense instead of running to a spot…watch out. They need a shooting threat off the bench…Gunn provided that last night.
Malik is scaring me. He’s been very Bipolar so far this year.
Trey (and Cupps) also did a terrific job defensively against McDaniel and Burnett. Those two were averaging 30+ combined and were shut down almost completely last night.
Malik and Ware are a special tandem. Enjoy them while we can. Hopefully, their success will help influence Queen’s decision because Woodson will probably need to replace both after this season. The Peacock announcers said Ware, in particular, has NBA written all over him and that was before his last one-handed, sweeping hook shot, viewed as a thing of beauty…a joy forever, if you will.
