Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 5136269, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]Hi guys! At least for the moment, I'm back from the MIA list. Been sick. Doctors can't seem to agree what I had or have. But it's finally clearing up enough that I can do more than sleep and lose weight without trying. Anyway, Baylor was only the 2nd game I've been able to watch. Or was it the third? Last couple and a half weeks have been pretty fuzzy. [*]Felt like we got out-played offensively in the paint, early in both halves. First half especially, it seemed like they could drive through our matador defense at will. [*]Like I said, missed most of the season so far, but I have been checking the box scores. Was this the first game that Mahaney's 3 has looked good? [*]Seemed like Baylor scored off an awful lot of offensive boards. Considering we played two centers together much of the night, we still gave up way too many layups. [*]McNeeley with 7 was our only player with more than 4 boards. Our two centers only had 4 each, which seems about the norm for Johnson, but Reed should be good for more. [*]Speaking of 2 centers, has Hurley been playing them both at the same time a lot through my absence? That seemed to work pretty well at times last night. [*]Thank God Diarra's a decent FT shooter. Our FT shooting in general was pretty good last night, but Diarra's closeout performance from the line was a big part of the final outcome. We were 26 of 33 from the line all told, to Baylor's 12 of 19. We actually won this game from the line, as Baylor out shot us by about 3 percentage points from 3 and from the field in general. They made 6 more Field goals than us, but we made 14 more FTs than them(!) and a couple more threes. [*]Can't help but be concerned about our interior D going forward. And about how easily the Baylor guards got by our guards to get into the paint in the first place. Yeah, not having Alex didn't help any, but we can't allow anywhere near as many uncontested or barely contested shots from 6 feet and less going forward. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
