- I confess I didn’t see the whole game. I watched the end of the football game and took in the post-game show, then remember the basketball game must be on. It was 15-6 when I tuned in. I was also typing up my Upside/Downside on the football game and listening to the basketball game, so this analysis is based on what I saw and what the box score shows me.
- We had a 43-20 lead with 2:40 left in the first half. Ten minutes and 58 second alter, it was 61-54, an 18-34 stretch against a team that barely belongs in Division I. The Red Hawks, (they used to be the Chieftains back in the day), made their first seven threes of the second half. From what I saw, we weren’t exactly in their faces.
- We seem to give up a lot of rebounds to opposing guards. Virginia’s Kihei Clark had 11 against us and tonight Seattle’s Terrell Brown had 7 when he wasn’t throwing in 23 points.
- Buddy Boeheim made a couple of early threes but otherwise struggled with 3 for 9 shooting. The portions I saw he seemed to be rushing things and not getting fully squared to the basket.
- Brycen Goodine didn’t score and had 3 turnovers in 13 minutes. He did have 3 assists but I’m not really seeing much so far.
- JB certainly tightened his bench. In a game where we took command early and had mostly big leads, he went with 5 starters plus two reserves, (Quincy Guerrier and Brycen Goodine) who played 30 of the bench’s 38 minutes and those other 8 went to Jesse Edwards (6) and two walk-ons. Sleeping with the fishes: Robert Braswell, Jalen Carey and Howard Washington. (John Bol Ajak is red-shirting.) Guerrier was the only bench player who scored. Four starters played 30+ minutes and Elijah Hughes played all 40.
- Seattle was ranked #322 out of 353 Division 1 teams. If college basketball had an FCS, they would be in it and nowhere near the top of it.
