We can’t be faulted for effort and our advantage on the offensive boards told the story in that area. Sloppiness though was manifested via a high number of turnovers and silly fouls. Again, we were caught in between deciding to foul or not and we got weak fouls that led to and 1 opportunities. Needless to say, if you decide to foul a driver, make sure he doesn’t make the basket while avoiding the flagrant foul.
I don’t know the final foul shot numbers but it seemed like we followed the season’s metric where the other team took at least 100% more foul shots and won (but it turned out we just missed too many foul shots).
I though Polley showed what he could bring to the table and I want to compliment Cobb in particular for finding him for a couple of threes.
Tarin Smith tried his best but we definitely struggled to dribble up court and in the half court and I question his shot selection. Without Gilbert and Adams, Memphis could force us into careless turnovers.
I thought Cobb had a good game and displayed both his rebounding and scoring abilities. I also thought the zone protected him on defense. Arguably Cobb is one of our best passers and guys who don’t normally get passed to got the ball in scoring spots.
Sid is not perfect but is stringing together more and more of his potential into game highlights. Vitale also competed and knocked down some shots..
As Chief predicted Gilbert rode pine. Chief’s new prediction is Gilbert either comes back next game or is shut down for the year.
This season we had two games in a row where we found our chemistry but then Gilbert and then Adams went down. I think we would have carried the Tulane and WSU momentum if not for the injuries. However, it’s been beneficial to Josh, Tyler and Sid’s developments. Cobb has also improved but he’s gone next year.
