Message: [QUOTE="Umami Zen, post: 4489123, member: 10678"] Being brutally honest.. Did not see 14-0 happening on Nov 6th.. Exceeded my expectations.. Not overly surprised at losing to X and Providence on their home courts because I believe they are Tournament teams that can make some noise in March. Among my biggest surprises are the following: --Have been blown away by Clingan's ascension and his ability to not back down from the competition and in fact--frequently substantially impacts the game in the minutes he's given --When the ball is in Jackson's hands..The offense and the ball movement dramatically changes--for the better.. Big surprise over last year. --Was curious to see how portal guys would react to BE games/play style--Think they're still trying to figure that out. --Hawkins has impressed me with his defense and being a better teammate re: sharing the ball.. Needs to continue to work on playing off screens/getting open.. Teams are 'keying" on him. Still see our floor as a Sweet 16 team with FF potential and a few lucky bounces. If we're going to live by the three..Gotta start making them with more regularity and/or get to the hoop "for and ones" and FTs. [/QUOTE]
