Corey Sanders: Exceptional

I’m gonna guess he will say that you guys who were at the game actually helped his.

Nice job all around.

I've frequently been critical of Corey.

But he shut me up big time today. He was absolutely terrific. Just tremendous.

Corey is so much better when he is off the ball. Having a legit player like Baker being able to free him up gives him the floor spacing he needs.

Instead of pounding the dribble at the top of the key for the entire possession he’s allowed to move and receive screens. This opens up his penetration ability. With defenders needing to respect that he now is able to get off his jumper without a defender draped all over him.
 
Some self-awareness today. You had to notice--certainly the announcers did when they remarked on it that late in the game, he passed it to Baker so Geo could set up the offense. That is kind of new and most welcome for Corey. Enjoyed that almost as much as Corey's big offensive game and his energy.

Stole my thunder a little there. I liked when he called Geo up to the top and gave him the ball. We are so much better that way IMHO.
 
I am also one who has been critical of Sanders. Played an excellent game today. Really enjoyable to see. Excellent job by entire staff and team, but Sanders really impressed me today.
 
Best game by Corey in a loooooooong time. He was the man tonight. Sort of matured in a way. He was able to play under control and he stepped up to the plate to be the man in the critical last RU final possessions. It was obvious that if RU won the game it would be through him and he met that challenge because he believed it. This is the kind of play we hope for Corey every night, people were down on him because we saw 2-13 performances against Bumblebee University and ask why? Hopefully this maturity he shows today carried over. I will give him big props...remember against Minny when things were not going well, he mouthed off and got a T, well today, he persevered through adversity and a 10 point defecit and stayed in control and delivered
 
Even with four turnovers?
Corey was great today. Sure, did he have to try and force a backdoor pass into traffic late in the 2nd half? No.

But coreys got carringtons calling him daddy. That boys his son after today

His 2nd half was like an A++ IMHO. He hit 2 HUGE shots, back-to-back, that were neither rushed, nor forced, that really helped that rally continue. I can overlook a little sloppiness early in the game. Maybe a very, very solid "A" then if that makes you more comfortable?
 
He was the best player on the floor today. He is great when his jump shot is falling.

yeah I saw that stat but didn't recall him getting that many, earlier in game (I think)...B+ 1st half A+ down the stretch...overall A fer sure. (my 2 cents)
I'd give him an A as well. I couldn't give
someone an A+ who had 4 turnovers, but that's me.

Quality win for RU.
