Got invited to a NYE party, so I did not get to see the game until this AM from DVR. Great way to start the new year !!!
The first half D was probably about the best I have ever seen from the Zone. Holding a team averaging 91 to 19 (I like the palindrome here) was simply awesome.
It is amazing how mo can change w one play. We appeared to be in total control early in the second half and then Frank make a fabulous pass to Chuk, who somehow doesn't finish, and next thing you know they get 12 straight.
We are looking lost & they are within three and making it a game. Next thing you know Oshae makes a beautiful drive to the rack, and just as suddenly he leads an 11-0 Cuse run & we are then in control until the end.
To me, Oshae was player of the game for making the plays to change the mo to turn back their run almost single handedly.
Great game from Matt, he was the wildcard with his boardwork, and making them pay at the rack every time they doubled away from him. I thought he was going to get an early hook when he took & missed that trey, but Jimmy stayed with him. great move Coach !!!
Ty and Frank, solid as usual, but a few too many TOs between them.
marek, was marek, so many tips and going to the floor plays that just don't show in the box.
We initially handled their press quite well, but it that came apart near the end. not sure if it was simply a bit of a loss of focus since the game was in hand by that point in time.
Jimmy certainly had them ready. The one move I questioned was with us +13 and a minute or so left in the first half, why he left Tyus on the floor with two fouls. A cheap third foul might have been a game changer.
