Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 5349570, member: 1245"] I was also close to the court and agree with the incredible speed of the game up close. I'll just add to the many thoughts I generally agree with. 1. I felt we communicated and switched well on defense when play was right in front of me.. 2. He might be an inch taller, but in terms of overall physical presence I think Koroma is actually smaller than Stewart and maybe even Ross. He makes up for it by quickness, aggressiveness, and good leaping ability, but we are very small and slight in the front court with him. 3. I thought everybody belonged and had something to contribute. Furphy played good defense right in front of me and I'm sure he would play well in games, but, his usage last night suggests he is the odd man out. If Hurley doesn't turn to him when everyone is throwing up bricks ... 4. We played with 4 forwards and a point guard in stretches. That surprised me. Ross, Stewart, Alex, Koroma, PG. 5. Obviously Mullins would be better with more strength but I don't see that as any concern at all. Just stop busting into 3 point shooters. 6. Reibe is going to be more ready and relieved me of some worry. 7. Watching live I am surprised Ross was only credited with 4 rbs. If you get an airball or come up with a ball that hit the floor is it still a rb? 8. Millender is trust worthy and he, Smith, and Mullins all looked pure from the line. Reibe also stroked a FT. 9 Karaban is clearly bigger. Concern: Hand from BC was a contact seeking missile and drew fouls. Dybantsa will do that to our front court in the BYU game. Hurley played Reibe at the end of the first half with 2 fouls and I believe Koroma also had fouls. Hurley said we haven't practiced much small ball center. Maybe we should. [/QUOTE]
