- James Southerland clanged his first trey off the back rim and you knew he wasn’t going to contribute anything, at least offensively in this game. He went scoreless for the third time this year- against the three best teams we’ve played. JB said he thrives against zones but all three of his treys were wide-open and none of them came close to being in.
- I thought Dion Waiters would come up big in a challenge match against one of the nation’s best backcourts but he was 1 for 8 from the field and scored only 2 points.
- JB put Rakeem Christmas in for the center jump because he’d been losing them with Melo. We lost again and Rakeem was pulled after two minutes: we had to be able to cover the guards.
- I cringed every time we missed an open shot, knowing we needed each one of them for the expected three point onslaught from Florida. Fortunately, it never came but I cringed a lot because we missed a lot of very makeable shots.
