Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 4788607, member: 489"] Minus Cam this game was mostly ugly let’s be honest. I get Castle was out but injuries happen you need to adjust accordingly. Third game yeah but they’ve been blessed with extra time together let’s remember that. As I saw it: Cam was very good thank God his best overall. I know he gets beat off the dribble on D but he makes great plays off the ball as well on that end, just a real good basketball player. Alex just can’t make those fouls needs to be much smarter. Of course Dan needs to be a bit smarter too. If you let him come back in the game with 2 fouls first half please don’t put him on their best scorer (Brown in this case) as he will score at ease. Tristen was solid but a bit nonchalant on both ends. Not worried about him when the lights come on. Donovan was ok but really disappointed on the defensive end. Lots of swinging and missing and not rebounding. Would prefer him to pick and choose, move your feet more keep your hands up and stay by the rim to rebound the misses. His FT shooting is a major issue to think otherwise is if ignorant. Ball was crapping his pants until the first timeout that’s ok. He’s talented but a long way to go. It’s not HS, so while I like his idea on dunking everything please just finish when the opportunity is there. Samson needs to rebound as well, one time great job cutting off baseline keeping his hands up not fouling but never turning around to get a rebound isn’t good. Boxing out is an issue throughout and on FTs from the other team as well. Stewart sat immediately once because he didn’t box out on a rebound and lost it to MVSU. Yeah they won by 35 and it’s early but there was more not to like than to like. Quit reading the paper and get focused on UConn basketball. I’m sure Dan will let them know how they performed last night during the next few practices. The bench is a question mark, especially defensively. Let’s see what happens but the good news is they’re young and play hard. Indiana is a much bigger test than most believe. [/QUOTE]
