- Not happy with the start. 2 shots not close, then lose the rebound on the ensuing G-town possession.
- We're really missing Clingan. Rebounding is down, but more importantly, teams have been taking advantage of our porous D in the paint.
- Two shot clock violations in the first 12 minutes? Way too much passing around the perimeter with too little cutting to the hoop.
- AK is the master of the unexpected three. Looks like he's looking for someone to pass it to, and boom-three pointer from 5 feet behind the line. Does it at least once a game.
- Took us until there was 3:27 in the half to build a double digit lead.
- At the half, our bench had 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 block, 1 TO and 4 fouls (3 on Diarra). And no points.
- Great play by AK 5 minutes into the 2nd half with him and Heath fighting for the ball as it went out of bounds, and he reached out and tapped it off Heath.
- 13:32 Diarra knocked the ball off Heath's(?) shin. Ref got the call absolutely wrong.
- The whole deal that ended at 6:32, with the double tech, missed free throws, scuffle for the board, and Cam throwing it behind a breaking Tristen was a major cluster something-or-other.
- I thought I was tuning in for a basketball game, not a @#$%^ whistle-fest.
- I think that at least for the rest of this season, I'm just going to call it a Diarra when someone finds or creates a wide open lane to the hoop from 3 point territory, and goes in for an unmolested lay-up. He seems to do it at least once a game.
- Is it me, or has Newton lost his shooting touch since the Holidays? Since the SJU game, he's shooting 20.6% from the floor. Prior to that game, he was at 42.5,
- Stewart was impressive today in minimal minutes. A bucket, a block, 3 boards and some timely defense.
- 18 assists on 24 buckets compared to G-town's 4 dimes on 17 buckets.
- I'll take 54/51/76 shooting percentages any day of the week. Especially compared to 34/25 & 76 for the other team. So how could it only have been a 13 point win? Could their 13 more FT attempts (10 makes) have something to do with it?
- We relied so heavily on two guys for most of our point production, that it never seemed like the rest of the team was in sync, and I didn't really feel comfortable until Diarra's lay-up with 2:30left
