I think Romeo’s lack of defense is getting blown out of proportion because of the last play, but that’s just me. He’s proven all year that he’s a solid defender. Anyway, like I said I’m not drawing conclusions on my post because I’ve read all year that Damezi plays hard. Just pointing out something I noticed. CSP 1 Quote

Ryno6284 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 South Bend Riley reminds me of JBJ's FT. Wayne Bishop Luers teams. They would just try to out-athleticize the other team. When they ran into a fundamentally sound team they would struggle. Kind of what I witnessed today! We really need some talent here! ebridges24 1 Quote
Ryno6284 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 New Albany's free throw shooting killed them today, and Romeo played horrible defense. That dude can score at will and he is an Indiana boy, so sign me up! He will be just fine in college. Damezi, I'm not real sure where he will fit in here! Quote

I think Damezi will benefit from collegiant strength training. I’m not expecting much from him early in his career. Should be solid as a upper classmen. Quote

In his defense, Carmel pretty much did the same thing to Keion Brooks last Saturday. Did Brooks look as bad as Damezi? Quote

He'll be a good player for us in a few years, but he won't be ready next year. He's billed as being a shooter but he doesn't seem to take great shots all the time. I really hope we get Romeo + a grad transfer Sanford from Toledo or Taylor from Evansville. He had at least 3 air balls that weren't even close. Quote
AKHoosier Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 FWIW hearing that Damezi didn't practice all week. He's been sick. That would explain the slump in production. IUsafety, ThompsonHoosier, mamasa and 3 others 5 1 Quote

They need coached. And once they get rattled, your chance of beating them goes way up. I would believe the talk that Damezi was ill this week. He wasn't very active at all and he was getting subbed frequently. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app chicagoHOOSIER and ALASKA HOOSIER 1 1 Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Link to full game write-up from the South Bend Tribune below. Word had it that Anderson was under the weather for the biggest game of his prep career. That he had barely practiced much of the week. But on Monday, he was on the floor and going all-out. He was fine. He was confident. That changed Saturday. He finished with six points and two rebounds. He took 13 shots and made just two. At the start of the fourth quarter, Anderson appeared to turn to Harrington Greer, who was at the scorer’s table waiting to check in, and asked Greer to come in for him. Anderson checked out at the start of the fourth quarter, and never checked back in. “I was just having a little pain in my stomach,” Anderson said. “No excuses. I still had to come out and play hard every possession.” https://www.southbendtribune.com/sports/high_school/basketball/riley-s-state-title-chase-falls-well-short-at-semistate/article_c03742ed-0d19-5c50-87b2-93d5a313c6ff.html IUsafety 1 Quote
