Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 5158752, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]AK started off strong. [*]Early in the game, I got the feeling that the Refs did not want to let us to play interior D. [*]The more I see of Reed, the more I like him. [*]Comedy of errors late in the first half. Even the refs joined the fun, giving DePaul the ball over what was clearly their turnover. [*]Last play of the 1st half was absolutely awesome. [*]Other than Solo, We did not shoot the ball very well, but in the first half, we more than made up for it on the boards. Shooting improved as the game wore on, but our defense kind of went south on us in the 2nd half. Obviously, Holtman made some adjustments at half time. Not sure we ever figured out a way to keep them out of the paint in the 2nd half. [*]Solo was on fire from 3 in the first half. [*]Halftime... Diarra had 8 assists in the first half, and as a team, we had 14 first half dimes. DePaul had 5. [*]Big first half edge in rebounds and 3 point shooting for the good guys. [*]2nd half opened the same way as the game, with the refs not allowing us to play interior D at all. [*]Injury to Liam is worrisome, especially with the meat of the BE sched on the horizon. At least Marquette isn't until February. [*]When Liam went out, AK really stepped up his game. [*]This may have been the worst officiated game in the history of basketball. Or at least in recent memory. In the end, we shot 10 FT's to Depaul's 28. [*]Solo was instrumental in our win with 22 points and 6 boards. His 22 points came from 7 threes and 1 made FT. My guess is that Dan Hurley will be on him for only making 1 of 3 FTs and not having any assists at all. [*]Alex was my pick for player of the game. Especially after Liam went down, he really ran the team. Ended with 18 pts, 7 boards & 3 dimes. [*]Diarra only played 25 minutes, and almost 19 of them were in the first half. Mahaney played the bulk of the 2nd half PG minutes, and didn't do horribly, although I got nervous every time he brought the ball up court. His jumper was still off though. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
