- We gave up a weird-looking trey to start the game, scored 15 points in a row to take a 15-3 lead and then didn’t score for nearly 4 minutes. The score was 18-12 with 8:26 left in the half and 25-14 with when John Gillon hit a trey with 6 minutes left to get us going. We scored 21 points in those 16 minutes and 55 in the second half to hit the century mark. That’s 25 points in 14 minutes, ((1.79 per minutes), then 76 points in 26 minutes (2.92).
- Our press produced only 10 turnovers and was abandoned in the second half. JB admitted that it’s hard to press a smaller team. I am encouraged that he still plans to make it a serious part of our repertoire this year.
- Paschal Chukwu has a lot to learn. His reaction to those 1 on 2s at the back end of the press was mostly to foul someone rather than hold his ground. On offense, he’s got to learn what DaJuan Coleman has finally learned: when you have the ball you are as tall as it is. And when he decides to put on a dribbling exhibition, he’s 3 feet tall.
- While Tyler Roberson was 5 for 5 from the line, something that’s unlikely to continue, hit teammates were 9 for 16, (56%).
- Now it gets real. Our next two opponents are two power conference teams: South Carolina who went 25-9 last year and Wisconsin who was 22-13 after a bad start and made it to the Sweet 16. The Badger out-rebounded us last year 25-51. If there’s one possible weakness on our team is that we are still rather skinny in the middle when Coleman isn’t in there and we haven’t played a good rebounding team yet. We will now.
