ETAMU - Report Card

[RayRay34]

Alex Karaban
12-Pts. 6-Reb 2-Ast. 1-Stl 1-TO 38-Min
Some nice cuts and serviceable defense. Shot 50% from the field but 0-4 from three and not on great shot selection. His threes the past two games are from another Zip code and seem rushed. Otherwise, played his role as we’ve come to expect.
Grade: B

Solo Ball
14-Pts. 4-Reb. 2-Ast 22-Min
50/40/100 - I’ll take these number from him any day. A little less matador D then against Kansas and overall did a good job keeping his guy in front of him, but did have a few lapses. Let’s see that next-level dog on D! Missed, what should’ve been, a highlight dunk but a few nice finished around the rim otherwise.
Grade: B

Silas Demary Jr.
8-Pts. 5-Reb 5-Ast. 3-Stl 1-TO 27-Min
Yes Silas! Not the gaudiest numbers but was able to get by his guy. Wouldn’t mid seeing him shoot when he’s open but it’s coming. Happy to see him bounce back after a rough go last time out.
Grade: B+

Jaylin Stewart
9-Pts. 7-Reb 2-Ast. 1-Stl 1-TO 23-Min
Be this guy every time you are on the court! When he’s on, he makes the game look so effortless. Good defense, smart passes, aggressive to the rim.
Grade: A-

Eric Reibe
13-Pts. 6-Reb 3-Blk. 1-Stl 1-TO 26-Min
Dunk it bro! I’m loving his game, great hands and footwork. Needs to be more explosive, but that’ll come.
Grade: A-

Malachi Smith
7-Pts. 2-Ast. 14-Min
Did what we need our back-up PG to do.
Grade: B

Braylon Mullins
10-Pts. 2-Reb 1-Ast. 2-TO 17-Min
Welcome back to Earth, kid. After a high bar being set in Kansas, looked a little more Freshman-y in this one. I’m chalking it up to being first game at home and expectations maybe weighing on him a little bit, and perhaps still hobbled? (Hope not, but why the low usage?). Looked fine once he settled into the flow. First couple minutes were…. um… undesirable.
Grade: B

Jayden Ross
6-Pts. 3-Reb 1-Ast. 21-Min
Prototypical game. Knocked down a three, showcased his athleticism. Had a beautiful drive and reverse in the late 2nd.
Grade: B

Dwayne Karoma
0-Pts. 3-Reb. 1-Ast 10-Min
Heads up assist to Ross for the 3. Decent production on low usage.
Grade: B

Overall - B- (they should’ve won this by 50)

4-16 from 3 is telling but not because of the poor shooting from there; because of the low attempts. This game was a concerted effort to drive and to send in those lobs in to Reibe and Karaban that Hurley implied were there against Kansas. They could have won this game by 50 but who cares? Hurley worked on something that will need to be perfected as we face the auto-switch teams, and the team persisted in this time after time last night.

Being dynamic offensively is what will prepare us for end-of-season tournaments and Hurley knows it. Attempting 28 3s would have been easy but we scored 83 points with only 12 being from 3. That is impressive.

One note on defense: We were not very tough defending in the paint. Too many turn-around floaters from ETAM although Reed will certainly help fix that.
