Two conference road wins! Give Tristen Newton credit. Efficient points, rebounds and assists with good ball security.
My other two takeaways: Jackson played great defense on Spears and Sanogo is a consistent valuable player for us. Often to the Casual Fan great defense against a leading scorer is invisible, but it is an important factor in a game. Spears averages 17 points a game and today got zero (0). Jackson rebounds (10) and assists (7) and a good three did what we need to win. He also got the key rebound of the game that led to a Karaban 3.
Hawkins and Karaban gave us double figures and contributed to the win. Clingan also made some nice rim protection plays.
The disappointment again is not the number of turnovers but how our turnovers are often unforced and at critical moments, letting Georgetown back in the game. Another disappointment was the failure to go with a Double Big lineup that led to GT second shots and lack of rim protection in GT second half comeback.
Again our opponent has twice as many foul shots as we do. Tough obstacle to overcome and a significant reason why we are losing games or keeping what should be double digit win close. Part of that is on our players but it is also bigger than that.
