Most of what I might've covered has been discussed ad infinitum, here already, so this is a short one.
- Not the same ol', same ol' immobile Onourah. This was definitely his best game as a Husky.
- No Kwintin? He'd been playing better than expected of late, and I kind of thought he might get increased usage. But I guess with both DO and JC playing well, his role, whatever it is, is bound to be further limited.
- We showed good ball movement for the most part, and looked like we had an actual plan of attack. Even the passing around the perimeter seems to have a purpose. Unfortunately, there were a few too many instances when good ball movement stopped dead with a pass to Larrier.
- The number of assists is still troubling. 10 on 26 buckets? That's CYO league level.
- An 11 board advantage is pretty solid, particularly when you win that battle at both ends. Well done.
- The team as a whole played better and seemed more of a cohesive unit. But the game still hinged on a 2nd half Jalen in beast mode spurt.
- Unrelated to this game, it seems to me that Carlton puts a tremendous amount of spin on every lay up -- they often seem to take a circuit or two around the rim before falling through or rolling out. I only notice it because I shot layups that way, and remember my coach yelling at me to stop putting so much English on the ball because "...you can't predict what it will do." I guess he never shot pool or bowled.
