-  Rakeem Christmas proved he can score, even against a good defensive team and with nobody helping him with 21 points on 10 for 13 shooting. He had 10 rebounds for his 6th double-double of the season, (five more well- placed reboudns and he’s have 11). Two of the guys guarding him wound up with 4 fouls in a game where the refs weren’t calling much.

-  Tyler Roberson went after the boards like a Tiger, (err…a Saltine Warrior), grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds, including 8 of our 12 offensive boards. The problem was he did little else, (which may be why we came up short in second chance points. He’s our Dennis Rodman, with normal hair. “Rodberson”.

-  Kaleb Joseph actually tried to mount an attack of his own to help out Christmas and scored 1 2 shots. The trouble is he missed 8 of his 13 attempts. He tied for the lead in team assists with Gbinije and Cooney: 2.

-  Somehow, I found this defeat easier to take than most. We were never in it and it became obvious early that this was not our day. I began puttering around the house, doing other things while keeping one ear tuned to the game. Also, this team is clearly one that will have many “ups” and “downs” during the year. A good performance in one game doesn’t guarantee one in the next and neither does a bad performance. I’m taking a “see what happens” attitude to each game, with no dreams of glory. Not much good happened to day but it doesn’t mean good things won’t happen next time. It is what it is and it ain't what it ain't.

13-5, (4-1) with 13+ more

LET’S GO ORANGE!!!!
