right, but his first couple were wide open looks that he had to take - and he nailed them. he was then feeling it and made some more - nothing to not like about that. and yes, he penetrated well and did a pretty good job running the O... more importantly, he was very active at the tope of the zone and cause some TOs. he had a very strong game all around and we are going to need that going forwardHe made shots, but I was more impressed with the fact that seemed to run on offense on several possessions. Actually about 60% of possessions they seemed to have an offensive purpose, which is a dramatic improvement. Many of his 3's though were not out of any kind of coherent set. They simply went in. If he went 1 for 7 we'd be freaking out. There were all open shots so they were not bad looks, but I liked it better when he drove and got fouled.
Gillon changed the game when he came in. He was aggressive and got into the paint to make plays. All our guards were getting lost covering their shooters. Good lord Hankerson. Unbelievable our unawareness of him. Thompson was HUGE. Good game all around! Does he potentially start or solid bench production? He clearly does things on offense that Roberson can only dream of.
Hate to be " that guy", but showing up against mid majors has not been an issue for him. How he plays against major conference programs has been. While encouraging, I'll feep better once he plays like this against an ACC team.
True that...Same can be said about the entire team.

He was very good, but we'll need Frank to step up to be competitive.
We'll bounce back n forth between the two this year.
If I had two wishes, it's that Frank would start finishing st the rim and Battle would be more disruptive at the top of the zone.
We cannot play long minutes with Gillon and White at the top of the zone. That combination is just brutal.

TT became my favorite player today, he was awesome. Actually reminded me of the original DCs game, with that hi lo to Lydon and then the 3 he hoisted, not that JB was too pleased with it. But he was otherwise doing everything and wants to put the team on his back, I love the kid. My biggest gripe would be the guard rebounding, or complete absence of it. My god, how may long rebounds did they grab right at the FT line with not an Orange even in the frame? terrible
