Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 3750957, member: 504"] It seems to me that the big flaw yesterday was the inability of the guards to stay in front of their guy and being whistled to death. The refs called it tight, but our guys were definitely reaching to stop the ball when they lost their man. Which also led to some blocking fouls underneath. Which led to Cole, Jackson, Bouk sitting down for long stretches. Which magnified bad ball movement and a bunch of bad shots. Bouk needs to get a tiny bit of that out of control drive to the hoop like Jalen Adams and pull up a few more times. And Polley must’ve been digesting a bad Turkey dinner. How much of all of that is on Hurley, hard to say. I agree that Cole stepped up big time. As did Gaffney and Whaley. With all of his shortcomings, and obvious strength of Sonogo, I’m still a bit puzzled by the non use of Carlton. He’s no answer, but he’s a senior and had a bunch of pretty good games, too. I know it’s only two games, but few or no minutes, I’m not sure. I wonder if the other two young big kids will see floor time as the season goes on and, of course, Akok is yet to come. All in all, two wins against hungry, pretty wel coached teams after a screwed up practice season. I don’t expect them to go unbeaten anyway and let’s see how the clear talent comes together. [/QUOTE]
