Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 4491596, member: 1245"] Some misc observations/thoughts: Creighton only 5 assists (I think our guards defensively impacted and they missed some good looks). I'd be interested what was really key, whether our pressure on their guards or depriving other players of position. Creighton 20 offensive RB but 8 were team rebounds where evidently we scrapped but the ball went off us. I thought their missed 3 pointers lead to several deep rebounds that just happened to go to them. Kaluma 6 ORBs was the place he dominated Alex. (16 RBs overall) Only 5 turnovers by us!!! And, 1 of those was the questionable screen by Jackson with a handoff to Hawk that took a 3 off the board. We win most games with that stat. Still think Sanogo call in first half should have been a charge There are plays where Karaban is overmatched defensively, but Kaluma only made 5 baskets total with 5-16 from the floor, ie 30% ish. Positioning was solid and the non-box score play like the rebound boxout gave us a 'team' rebound that wasn't just luck. Unlike others in 'chat' I thought the Karaban foul should have been a no call. Liked that Jackson didn't take the bait to shoot threes down the stretch. Diarra got caught needing to take desperation threes which at least he had shot clock awareness to take. He is turning into a UConn 'Posh' defensively on the ball. Joey got 2 of our 6 steals in limited minutes. He's due for 3-4 made threes soon. Glass Half full today, not half empty [/QUOTE]
