This team has so many ways to hurt you.

 

[Travelman6]

That is wild! The two eggs are shocking too! Because they will step up!

 

[Hi-Low]

Yeah Ajax & Akok should be well rested for Mich State....we'll need them

They will have their day too. Akok needed more minutes. Jackson is going to have a game where he just explodes. You can tell it’s going to happen.

 

[SubbaBub]

And hurt itself. 20 TO'S. Oof. I'd swear AJ had more.

 

[TheChamps990411]

46 points off the bench and that was with Akok getting one shot which is inexcuseable. Youve got to get him at least 5 shots a game especially when you nearly score 120 points.

 

[BuffaloHusky]

Akok couldn’t get in the game because IW was so locked in Defensively. Tomorrow Akok should be getting plenty of burn w/ Ajax, Gaffney and Hawkins. In fact, if they pull it out tomorrow, I suspect the second unit w/ Ajax will be the reason why.

Those 20 turnovers were absolutely infuriating. But, we arent going to face a better team all season that pressures better than Auburn. This was a great learning experience for this team.

Jackson with goose egg.

 

[navery12]

Akok not getting a lot of minutes was surprising, I wonder if something else was up and he wasn't fully healthy

He was wide open and the team just didn’t pass to him. Happened several times during our horrid stretch in 2H. Cole and Gaff need to look for him more and he needs to be more assertive.

Jackson with goose egg.

To AJ's credit he did have 12pts on the low end just on assists alone. Yes, he did not score.

 

[Jimdish255]

Agree that Akok needed to be more involved on the offensive end. Especially down the stretch when we became one dimensional and started turning it over and getting poor shots. If there's 2 things Hurley maybe should have done, it was preparing better for the inbounds pressure and making an adjustment to run couple of plays for Akok. When we got stale and they pressured the ball high there seemed to be no answer.

 

[Mister P]

Note to self.
Mister P, go back a couple of years and find the post where you were all in on Hurley signing Dylan Cardwell to be our center and erase it.

Where are all the Tyler Polley haters today?

He threw some beautiful feeds into Sanogo that led to easy buckets. The two of them have great chemistry.

One's right here. And I'm ready to eat some crow. My gripe was always that he was useless when he's not hitting 3s. But he was an all around impact player in the last 2 games, and made a couple of huge shots today.

Next I'll focus my ire on Gaffney. Maybe he'll snap out of the funk too.

 

[HuskyHawk]

He threw some beautiful feeds into Sanogo that led to easy buckets. The two of them have great chemistry.

He couldn’t finish today, but he had more than the 6 assists on the stat sheet. He rebounded like a madman, even though he got stripped once. He was also critical as non ball stopper when our guards were in a dribble ISO rut, got the ball moving again. Not a great game, but not nearly as bad as some said. When he’s up top the offense flows better and Auburn backed off the press when he was in.

 

[dennismenace]

Good overall effort. A lot to study on the film for the staff. We have some weaknesses but they shot
Shot 49% and 57.7% from 3 Pt land! Add 84% from the line on the road against a worthy opponent and I feel like our guys are starting to believe in their shooting. It was racehorse basketball and we won a double OT game.

 

[Deepster]

And hurt itself. 20 TO'S. Oof. I'd swear AJ had more.

They didn’t handle the press well in spots. Hopefully they review the tape and adjust and grow. Very excited for where this group could be in three months.

 

[McLovin]

That is wild! The two eggs are shocking too! Because they will step up!

Akok, Jackson and Gaffney took 3 shots combined. That is wild!

Agree on that. Mentioned it in the chat and in one of my other posts. Jax and Sanogo have a nice two-man game going between them.

As others have said, all 3 need to step up tomorrow against MSU to give those who played 40+ minutes today some needed rest.

 

[Husky Alien]

Here! Well not actually a hater but when he catches the ball in stride his shot is deadly. He did have a very good overall game too. Let's just hope this continues through out the season.

 

[UConnfan4ever]

They will have their day too. Akok needed more minutes. Jackson is going to have a game where he just explodes. You can tell it’s going to happen.

I can't tell it's going to happen. I've have been waiting for over a year. There will be games he has splashy plays but I don't think he's ever going to be a big time scorer. Trust me I hope I'm very very wrong about this.

 

[MTBingNinja]

And hurt itself. 20 TO'S. Oof. I'd swear AJ had more.

The 20 turnovers were bad. They weren’t used to the speed of the game after playing the three inferior opponents. We’ll cut that down. The suffocating press killed us too.

 

[Husky Alien]

Very good game by Hawkins. Felt bad for him at the end of OT, 99.9% of the time he will grab that ball. Looked like he lost his concentration.

 

[Umami Zen]

Jackson with goose egg.

Jackson's floor game advanced the cause. Entry passes to AS and others were on point. He's still learning

 

[Jaker]

Need more games like that from Polley and Cole

 

[Waquoit]

The 20 turnovers were bad.

Still, we played 25% longer. How bad is 16 TO's compared to par? I'm asking.
