Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 3003217, member: 534"] I was tempted to recycle the thread title I mistakenly used for the (Tulsa) game that I missed earlier in the week, but decided against it, and went for the James Taylor connection. [LIST=1] [*]It's nice to lead a game wire-to-wire for once. [*]Also nice to see a single digit number in the turnover column of the box score for once. [*]Basketball games are a lot easier to win when you make shots. [*]Tyler Polley. Something happened to his stroke or his head, but he can't shoot any more, and right now, he's just taking up space on the court. Since his shooting stroke disappeared, he's also gone from a mediocre rebounder to... I don't know what adjective to use. But in the last 8 games, he's had 3 zeroes in the rebound column. C'mon Tyler, at 6-9, you've got to get a couple by accident every game. [*]Josh Carlton might've been the perfect big against these guys. Their starting big is slow of foot and not particularly athletic. Carlton has his faults, but considering that other than him, we get nothing from the front court, 18 & 8 with a steal, a block and a dime is damned exciting. So is only picking up 3 fouls in 32 minutes. I'll forgive the 3 turnovers considering how well he played otherwise. [*]Game wasn't the whistlefest we've grown accustomed to, but the foul disparity remains. [*]First minute of the 2nd half was an epic display of incompetence by both teams. See graphic below. [*]Following the Tulane timeout at 12:02, Jalen scored our next 9 points, and effectively put an end to any comeback hopes that may have been brewing in their wavy green minds. [*]We really need to find a way to generate more than 6 points from our bench. [ATTACH]38480[/ATTACH] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
