Ben Gold Post Game 12/30

[GoldenEagles03]

I actually feel pretty badly for Ben. He was a part of the Big East Titles, he was a part of the Sweet 16 run, he was a full time starter last year, and to top it off he's over here in a different country than his own, sitting through 4 years of RGV! RGV! RGV! and yet he is sent to the bench after starting all of last year. Not to mention he's been one of the few actual performers on the team. Averaging near 9 PPG and 7 RPG, he's been fine. Yet he's the Senior benched and forced to go do a post game after a loss. I feel for him right now.

Bad way to end a good run he was a part of. Bittersweet. He did step up more than usual tonight. Starting Hamilton over him is just flat out disrespectful.

3 pointers aside, he looked really good tonight. Moved well and made a bunch of good plays on both ends. Looked like it came pretty natural to him. I cant see why he doesnt play like this more consistantly.

Agree. Ben had a good game. 8-8 FT line. 19 points. Hamilton is just a huge miss by Shaka.

Ben is a good kid. As is Chase. Both seemed a lot happier when they were lower in the pecking order. "Stars in their role" if you will. RGV calls for incremental role elevation every year, but sometimes a guy just fits his role and is happy to just stay in it. And that's ok.

Ben played well. It's an injustice that Caedin starts over him.

The difference in the game score was the first mins Caedin was in the game.

Ben played his damn heart out. He altered a unnatural carnal knowledgeton of shots tonight and played hard af.
