- Jim said that his team was supposed to be playing the ‘outside’ version of their zone in the first half, “but they weren’t”. There was no excuse for this. State had no inside game to worry about. Why weren’t we all over the three-point line?
- And how, with 2/3 of State’s shots coming form outside, did our two centers get called for 5 fouls in the first half? I remember a couple were ‘over-the-back’ calls and Jesse ran out to guard a three-point shooter and jumped in the air. The guy just waited for him to come down and got the call. Still…
- I was shocked to see that Benny Williams had played 25 minutes in this game. Did you notice him out there for 25 minutes? No? The fact that he attempted one shot, missed it and recorded one assists but had no other numbers may have something to do with it. Benny’s the “Invisible Man” so far this year.
- Jesse Edwards was unstoppable but that’s because there was no one there to stop him: State had lost the league’s best shot blocker, Manny Bates at the beginning of the season and they’ve lost two big men since. Greg Gantt and Ernest Ross. The barn door wasn’t just open: it was off it’s hinges.
