-          Frank Howard  had only one foul when he committed two within 5 seconds at the 9:35 and 9:30 marks. Then he committed two in less than a full second of playing time, both marked at 6:39 to foul out. This is our point guard. He has to find a way to stay in the game. The 4th foul was a touch foul under the basket, the 5th a hedge on a long inbounds pass. The replay showed no discernable contact but because the defender fell when he jumped to catch the ball. But Frank shouldn’t have bene anywhere near that play.  He had another play where he let the shot clock run out because he seemed unaware that it was running down. He’s got to have better awareness of what is going on than that.

-          The committed 22 fouls and we got 31 free throws. We committed 20 fouls and they got 16 free throws. That’s a lot of non-shooting foul calls on us.

-          Did we get a single controversial call or crazy bounce to go our way?

-          We are going to have to average more than 56.3 points per game to make it much father in this tournament. And I don’t like the trend: 60 then 57 then 52 points. Back in Hubert Davis advised Syracuse to “get yourself an offensive dude”, (thus the “Offensive dude of the game, or O-dog). I think we need to have some offensive dues emerge in next weekend’s game if we are to go much farther.
