- Our guard play was disappointing to say the least. The only ones in the building who performed worse than our guards were the refs and Dick Vitale.
- CV had his worst game this year. 8 rebounds was his only bright spot. 5 assists sounds good, but it was against 7 turnovers, 6 of which were on passes that never should have entered his mind, much less left his hand. 7 points on 2 of 8 shooting and 2 of 5 from the line. Missed more FTs last night than in the first 8 games total.
- AG. Eight dimes against 3 TOs was encouraging. But not encouraging enough to overcome 1 of 9 shooting.
- Bouknight? Not ready for the bright lights and the big stage? He was playing scared the whole game. One rebound, a steal and 3 turnovers. That's his entire stat line. Only attempted 3 shots. Missed them all.
- Adams was 2 rebounds and one fewer missed shot less bad than Bouk.
- Our front court was better. Sort of. Carlton was great. Until late in the game when Brunk absolutely abused him.
- Akok started out like a house afire. Blocks, baskets, boards. But he really needed a blow pretty quickly, and when he came back in, he was almost invisible.
- Polley did what Polley does. 3 for 7 from 3, for 4 from the FT line. Three boards. Sigh.
- Sid was a bright spot? A couple blocks, four boards and 5 points in about 10 minutes of court time. Alright, maybe not all that bright a bright spot, but at least he ended up on the plus side of the ledger.
- I found it amazing that they could put forth that lackluster an effort and still be close at the end.
