Nice to win by some margin, although we kept letting them get within 10 or so early in the 2nd half, but would push it back out to 20.  Benny had some good moments, starting with those 2 cuts, the 2nd of which he converted. Swider had a fine game.  Jimmy and Joe had some stretches.  Buddy played some great defense in the 1st half.

So nice to see Sidibe not only play, but contribute, and look pain-free!  Wow, that was great.  Frank played pretty well in spurts.  We shouldn't expect to see 15 rebounds a game from him, after all.

Symir got a good amount of run in the 2nd half.  BC is a team that allows us to play more small ball with Jimmy at the 5 and/or Buddy at the wing, with Symir and Joe at guard.

The BC coach countered that early in the 2nd half by playing the 2 bigs, which was an interesting tactical move.  It worked for a few possessions, but then we spread them out and drove by one of the bigs.  So then they went back to only 1 big (the transfer), and we started backing down the shorter substitute, whoever had the best mismatch among Swider, Jimmy and Buddy.

Enjoyable game to watch.  Happy to see the recognition for Manny Breland and his family.  The university as been at the forefront of much social change in its history.  A cause to be proud of.
