- Tyler Lydon injured his Achilles tendon in the first half, (per what was said on the radio). It was said to “not be serious” but every time I hear the name of the old Trojan warrior I get concerned.
- We rebounded 3 of 15 misses in the first half, just 20%, continuing our stretch of not rebounding 30% of our misses into a 7th straight game. We finally hit the boards in the second half pulling down 8 of 16 misses. Rebounding has been an issue in all of our losses and if we don’t hit the offensive boards, we are going to get killed in conference play.
- We had 17 turnovers. I guess you can expect that in a blowout like this but we were having too many turnovers in games that weren’t like this.
- We were 16 for 25 from the line- 64%. That’s a little better than the Georgetown game but it’s enough to lose other games. It’s primarily Tyler Roberson: he was 2 for 7, his teammates 14 for 18. He was 9 for 9 from the line in those first four games. He’s 6 for 17 since.
- We continue our strange tendency to beat the lesser teams the way a powerhouse team should but then come up short against the mdi-level teams. I think “The general” spotted a key: this team is a much better offensive team facing a zone, which most of the lesser teams use, than a man for man. But how many zone teams do we have left to play?
