Babul was good on D, yes? All I really remember is the name and slam dunk contests...

I feel bad for the kid... he's clearly been working on it, it's ALL mental at this point... once you get in your head like that, it's tough
It's all mental, just looked at his stats at wku, he hit 135 ft's at 69% and 25 3's at 27%. Not great numbers but this year he is at 25 made ft's at 46% and 0-3 on 3's.

yup, long term I think he'll get the hang of it.. but it might take an entire summer to revamp his shot, and someone working with him a ton

Yeah that was his calling card...... I've been waiting for a steal or some intense pressure to force a turnover. Oh well, can't force the comparison

You'd think with a year off he'd have had plenty of time to shoot free throws. It's definitely mental at this point. Needs to work on it though otherwise having him in at the end of games will be very dangerous.

Finally a game where we may blow out the opponent. After that loss to Richmond, I'd like a 20+ pt victory.

Very nice half. Excellent defensive intensity. BURY these guys in the second half.....please. This is how Chaz has to play early in every game.

Superb half. Best ball we've played in the new year.

Agree a big win would be nice, and Chaz is playing like he's a bit pissed about that last game... :D

one of our best halves of the season, good stuff to see. some of it has to do with Fordam being terrible, but still.

excited to see some of the young guys get some solid minutes

Don't know if this has been posted, but we should be grateful Pecora is coaching Fordham....when he left Hofstra, so did Chaz Williams

A terrible Fordham team came to the Bill in 2008 and may have been the reason we didn't make the tournament. Take nothing for granted.

I don't think it's our best half of the year, only because we have turned it over a ton........I think Fordhams deficiencies on offense have made us look like Arizona
