- It may be more than just luck to win all these close games but what if we run into a game where whatever else it is isn’t enough?
- Getting separation from teams is important but in these last two games we had leads of 14 and 17 points and they both melted away. Are we tired because JB has fallen into his old habit of playing his best players 30+ minutes a game? Are we bored, or, more properly complacent? Is it possible that our second team, which broke the game open in the first half, is better than our first team?
- One thing that certainly happened in this game is that the Philly kids took over the game in the second half- to the detriment of their teammates. After getting great ball movement in the first half, the second half a was all about Scoop and Dion trying to drive through the defense to score. I only heard CJ Fair’s name in the final minute. The big men only got follow-shots. Here’s a stat that sums up the two halves perfectly: In the first half we had 13 assists and 2 turnovers. In the second half we had 1 assist- 1! - and 7 turnovers. JB likes Scoop out there because he runs the offense. So run it.
- What, exactly does Baye Keita give us that Rakeem Christmas couldn’t? And shouldn’t Rak be in there to learn because he ahs the bigger upside? Baye’s fumble of a wide-open follow shot was a key point in the Huskies’ comeback.
