Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 3450225, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]I held my breath for a damned long time during the 2nd half of that game. [*]Obviously, his foul situation precluded any possibility of Bouk breaking out of his role as the 2nd half savior today, but man what a last 10 minutes he had! [*]POG. Vital, without any question. Sterling D, team high 24 points, team high 6 boards, plus 3 assists & 3 steals. Considering the rest of his line, I can forgive the 4 TOs. [*]Whaley and Bouk both have to get honorable mention in the POG category. Bouk might have earned it himself if he played more than 15 minutes. [*]Speaking of minutes, Gaffney played the most of anyone on the team. He looked comfortable and did a credible job running the team, had 3 dimes and a couple steals, and only turned it over twice. The TO stat kind of surprised me, because he still seems to have trouble dribbling on the perimeter. Half the time when he changes direction, he looks like he's on the verge of losing control of the ball, even when he's not being covered tightly. Yet when he weaves through a congested lane, his handle is pretty good. A matter of concentration? Or is just that he has a plan when he's headed to the rim? He only shot 3 of 6 from the FT line, but that appears to be a hiccup. Even with today's 50%, he's 83% plus for the season. [*]Adams played well offensively, but he seemed to draw the assignment of guarding Brown quite a bit, and wasn't very effective against his length. Listed at 6-6 to Brendan's 6-4, but it sure looked like more than a 2" disparity to me. [*]AG played within himself. Did not try to do too much on offense [I](2 dimes and one 3 pointer)[/I], had a few boards and a steal, but his biggest contributions were on D, especially against Rideau. [*]Our defensive scheme often results in our center being pulled to the perimeter, then rolling back to the middle on a switch. I feel a lot better when Whaley does that than Josh. Whaley seems to get back under the rim quickly and kind of effortlessly compared to Josh. [*]Happy with the outcome, and mostly happy with the effort and execution, despite them letting USF hang too close for too long, and not letting me breathe normally for much of the 2nd half. [*]USF has some ugly road uniforms. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
