The Upside- Morehead State

[SWC75]

- We won. We hardly looked like a powerhouse doing it but we won. When the committee makes its decision in March, they won’t be looking at this game and we won’t have to remember it.

- Tyus Battle finally broke out offensively with 18 points in the second half to wind up with 23. He was basically the reason we were able to pulled away to a workable lead and maintain it in the second half.

- Paschal Chukwu kept us in the lead when Morehead made their first half run, channeling his inner Ongenaet by throwing his lanky body around trying to get loose balls. We’ve had big men in the past who had problems playing against smaller player because of their quickness but Paschal had 14 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks tonight.

- His back-up, Bourama Sidibe, had 8 rebounds and 4 points in only 9 minutes of play. He also had a block so our two centers totaled 18/18/7 in 37 minutes. We aren’t going to lose when they do that.

- Elijah Hughes had a nice comeback form a poor opener with 21 points and 8 rebounds.

- Oshae Brissett was unstoppable in the first half with 14 points and 8 rebounds and a couple of assists to help us get that early lead. He wound up 17/13/2. He’s going to have a huge year.


2-0 and with 29+ to go

LET’S GO ORANGE!

Chukwu in the upside? Uh oh you're going to hear about that one!

PC earned it, and then some.

Other than missing a dunk (which, I'll just never understand how that can happen to a 7'2" dude), Chewie was pretty awesome in this game.
His stat line was outstanding, and as SWC said, our 2-headed C put up 18/18/7.
Plus he hit 6-8 from the line.
A C that you can't hack late in close games is an incredible weapon to have.

I totally agree. Just some people can't acknowledge anything good that he does. Yes he should have executed that alley-oop from Battle though.
