Where to start? Our offense seems to really be clicking. Also good to see our guys knocking down free throws. We are much better then what we showed to open the season.
Tyler Ennis - He has had some solid performances to start his career, but tonight was his break out game. Again he is in total control of the game. He is one of those guys who you feel can take his man to the basket whenever he wants to. That's the type of player we need on this team. Also nice to see him finally knock down some shots. Everyone that follows recruiting, and his HS career, knows he is a good shooter. He just let the rest of the country know tonight. Hopefully this is just the tip of the iceberg
Jerami Grant - Another kid had a breakout game. Was a monster on the glass, grabbing several mans man rebounds. Was constantly over the rim the rim, I kept feeling he was going to smack his head. He is another kid who I feel can consistently knock down 15-17 foot jumpers once he sees a few go in during the game. I have watched this kid shoot around and he literally will knock down 15 straight all day long. Finally nice to see it transition to the game
Trevor Cooney - Another huge night for Cooney. He is making everyone who was saying he would be recruited over look stupid, especially yours truly. I've never been more happy to be wrong about something in my life. He looks like a totally different player. He is another one who you feel is going to make the shot every time he takes it. What a far cry from last season. Keep em coming Trevor
Couple other random thoughts
CJ will still get his points, but we're probably going to see games like this from him this season. There is nothing wrong with it, that's what happens when you are the go to guy. You have to be more aggressive, therefore your FG% takes a hit. Even with putting up great numbers he looks a little out of snyc from prior years. I felt like I could count on my hand the number of open 15 footers he missed last season, especially ones he gets to take 1 dribble into.
On nights like this where Rak, and Baye to an extent aren't that productive, I would like to see DC get some more burn. I felt he was solid defensively tonight, minus the 1 time he got beat down the court. He is really our only true low post scoring threat, and our best rebounder. It's just tough being forced to sit for long periods at a time, and then be asked to come in and produce, especially for a young kid. Hopefully DC continues to develop and earn JB's trust
Another night without the Freshman. I was pretty confident they weren't going to play much, but I wasn't expecting them to get DNP's. A couple spot minutes at least in the first half wouldn't hurt for their development. Then again I guess that's why we love JB, and he has 900+ wins. He plays to win now, and worries about the future later.
Anyways onto the Championship game, let's bring home our 3rd Maui title
