Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 4836002, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]Tough start for Newton with a foul and two TOs on his first three touches. [*]Almost 4.5 minutes in before we scored. [*]Karaban, Spencer and Diarra all had a solid first half. [*]All our first half points came from 5 players, and none of them were named Newton or Johnson. [*]At the half, we have 11 assists to De Paul's 2, and ,18 boards to their 12. 60 & 45.5% FG percentage & 3pt percentage to their 30 and 25. Feels like we should be up by more. [*]Newton to Castle on the break early in the 2nd half was my pick for play of the game. Just a thing of beauty. Unfortunately, that was [B]the [/B]highlight for Newton, who only played 23 minutes. Sat early because of two early fouls, but never did pick up another. Finished the game scoreless, but did have 5 boards and 7 dimes. But also 4 TOs. [*]For the game, Shooting percentages were 58, 46 & 90 for the good guys and 36, 15 & 74 for them other guys. Can't win if you can't put it in the hole. [*]Too many of the points that De Paul had came at the foul line. [*]Eight blocks ain't bad for a team without its only 'real' center. [*]For my money, Alex was the POG, Same # of made 3 pointers as Spencer, but on fewer attempts, plus an edge on boards and assists, as well as a couple blocks. [*]All in all a good effort. Nice to see Castle getting his minutes and contributing. Solo looked pretty solid, too. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
