Message: [QUOTE="Mike Honcho, post: 5192779, member: 401"] Everything has already been said about Liam, but wow. We won without a PG and, for all intents and purposes, without a C. Our two centers combined for 26 mostly empty minutes (a combined 2 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 fouls). It was very impressive how we defended the post in their absence... we did it by committee but I can remember one possession where AK just fought for position with Kalkbrenner and held his own. And I thought Lappas was absolutely correct -- our offense ran a lot smoother when we operated without a center because our wings would pull Kalk out of the lane, where he would otherwise camp out. A few other thoughts: [LIST] [*]As brutal as AK was from behind the arc, he was 5/7 from two point range, and most of those were floaters. He had a layup rim out with a minute left but he hustled and won possession. [*]The fact that Nowell couldn't get off the bench when we had zero PGs is not a great sign. Maybe he's still not 100% physically. [*]After committing 10,000 turnovers in the past two games, we had just SIX in this one. We're lucky that Creighton doesn't have the personnel to pressure, but also... Liam is so steady with the ball. [*]Liam's foul with 6.8 seconds left was so heady. [*]I was [I]shocked[/I] when Tarris stood Kalk up while being completely vertical. If he could only channel that energy more often.. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
