Couple observations:
-Hawkins and AJ contributed nothing on the offensive end. They give us half the production from the PC game we win this game easily.
-FTs: Clingan, AJ and Newton all missed FTs in what turned out to be a two point game. Now we know why people stress the importance of FTs.
-Newton got mauled all game. He should have been to the line way more than he was. Newton clearly was upset at some of the no-calls and I think it hindered his game all night long.
-Joey C had some good lucks but couldn’t get them to fall. Early in the season I thought we had ourselves a shooter but he’s definitely streaky. We need a three, Karaban is the guy.
I think the loss is a blessing though. We were not coming into this game, maybe we needed to be brought down to earth before the real tourney begins.
