He missed a defensive rotation and failed to box out on back-to-back possessions, and KO Calhoun'd him. I hate to see it happen to Kentan, but hopefully the message is sent and received. The kid's a player as long as he keeps his focus.He has been great on the offensive boards, really goes after rebounds and elevates. Think he should have gotten more minutes against Ohio State and wasn't sure why he didn't quite honestly.
To me he is so valuable. Enoch getting so much love here but Facey is delivering! We are fortunate to have him off the bench, remember Marcus White? He could be that tenacious type player.

He has made many good plays this year and is a string offensive rebounder.
It is still frustrating to see him so easily stripped of the ball.
Coach Miller's comments - I kind of agree with - rebound, set screens and play defense now.
What I don't get is this long term skills development narrative - the kid is a JR not a Freshman. I know he came from Jamaica via NY etc but I want to see more body power by now and quite frankly I think Facey has a better touch than Miller and he is taller - so need to integrate into game now.
Facey has a decent upside but I just do t think he is physically imposing enough to be a center. Maybe I am being old school in this - but he doesn't scare anyone.
