His contributions this evening were mainly stopping excessive inside cheapies, and was good at that. They did not shoot well from outside, at all, so his efforts should be appreciated. Do not need to score much to have an impact, and need to watch the game on both ends. Wade did his job.

If you watch the last play where Baker hits the big three, JWade makes such a smart play to screen the guy guarding Baker. Essentially, Wade saw Chaunce driving and saw Baker's man watching Chaunce, sets a back screen, and discreetly points to Chaunce to let him know that Baker is open in the corner. He was such a high IQ play, and one that will never show up on the box score.

Perhaps the greatest "what if" of the Jones era will be, "What if Jason Wade never got hurt?" At the time of the injury, it could be argued that JWade was becoming our best player, as a freshman. Who knows the player he could have been without the injuries.

On his senior day, I hope the crowd roars for him. He deserves all of the praise that could be given.

TRUE!

Nice win on the road. I wish Marshall was on the schedule more frequently. However, the buzzsaw is waiting for our execution on Saturday.

Marshall’s lack of quickness will always be there. It also seemed like one guy kept trying for three’s and was terrible. ODU is a much better team with Odiahi playing. He just has to learn on not to foul, at critical times.
