Posted recap, but few thoughts.
1.) Crushed 3 ball tonight, 10-18 from deep. Only 11 2 pointers made all night.
2.) Guard play – BJ was best athlete on floor, hit 4-4 from 3, and drove into heart of defense and finished or got fouled. Mackey, what a floor game, didn’t shoot great 5-15 from the field but 3-5 from 3 and ZERO ZERO ZERO TURNOVERS in 37 minutes. When we were down 7 in 2nd half those two were huge.
3.) BIG lineup, with 6 mins left, we went with knutson/greiner/goldy up front and that helped us control glass…we were down 13 on rebounding margin and ended up only down 7…that big lineup was big on glass down low late in game.
4.) Bench – Schaef with 2 big 3s and goldy, huge. goldy hop off floor soo quick, he such an athlete, spadola on broadcast loves the kid…he is bloosoming and we need it bad.
5.) 6 combined points from Knutson adn CJ and a win at BU, amazing.
6.) Held their guards in check, their bigs got theirs in muscala and willman but ayers/johnson/hill/frazier were struggling from the field.
7.) Interesting matchups, we elected to put BJ on Johnson and AD on Ayers at the start…shocked they put Ayers on Holden, and not WIllman, but was good call…so interesting inside teh game matchups from both coaches..holden got his early but struggled late, ended 4-12 from the field.
Huge win, first place, feels good..need to keep grinding, get better, progressing daily….big day!
