Message: [QUOTE="JustbrewitMan, post: 3028076, member: 7806"] Even without Jalen getting hurt (and let's hope the MRI shows nothing bad tomorrow), it was gonna be tough to beat Temple tonight. They were much quicker/athletic at the 1-4 positions, blew by us all night, and decided to hit just about every shot from all over the court. Thoughts: --Carlton continues to be a BIG positive and welcome surprise for the last half of the season. He (and Cobb, too) absolutely abused Temple down low. --If you want a template to beat the Owls, we showed people tonight. Have a strong inside game (and also have Temple shoot "normal") and go to it all night long until they're forced to double/triple team (then freeing up your guards big-time) --Temple is really, really, really quick. Very nice, crisp ball movement in their offense, as well --Temple scouted us well. We are suckers for the ball fake and over-commit to getting out on players. They used it and abused us with it all night long --CV continues to be a very bright spot and brings it every night. --Sid showed some signs of putting things together again...moreso in the 2nd half. --Polley was an unfortunate no-show on offense and defense. --I hate the moral victory thing, but we played a much better 2nd half and the fact that we managed to outscore them (even with them shooting so hot all night), outwork them, and outhustle them on the boards is a testament to gradual culture change continuing. Double IPA Award - Josh Carlton IPA Award - Cobb Session IPA Award - CV Imperial Stout Award - Don't recall a dunk all night? We'll give it to Josh for working the offensive glass like a madman in the 2nd half Sour Farmhouse Ale Award (tie) - (1) The breakaway windmill dunk from Pierre-Louis should have never happened. Surprised CV's arm is still attached to his body after that hack/"steal". (2) Jalen's injury [/QUOTE]
