He also broke URI's press late (a concern with Noah out) and went 2 for 2 at the line. TJ's stats (%3s, %FTs, especially turnovers) are much better than RJ's. The team needs both guys to get minutes and both could improve.
I agree. You are making my point. TJ was ineffective and got burned on D and invisible on offense many other times on the court. The charge, 3 and breaking the press were fantastic. He’s a junior (senior by age). RJ is a freshman. RJ will make freshman mistakes. TJ should not be at this point.

Early season RJ and current RJ are two totally different players. His defense has gotten very good, and he's become much more efficient on the offensive end as well. If you look at stats from the full season, yes TJ's are arguably better, but if you look at stats from just conference games RJ's stats are far superior to TJ's stats.

watching St Joes at La Salle and La Salle only has 40 points with less than 8 minutes to go - as I'm sure you all remember - they put up 40 vs us in the 2nd half just a few days ago. I know - we won vs URI and we're on to VCU but watching this makes me angry knowing we should never have lost that game

^i think our squad got a lot of hate but let’s be real, La Salle had no one step up today like Brickus did versus us. Guy was hitting fadeaway 3’s from half court.
