Good game aided by an absolutely atrocious night of outside shooting from BG. I think at least part of it is a credit to our perimeter D.
It is clear to me that coach has made a conscious effort to promote passing and ball movement since the early part of the MAC season. The start of the game had so many easy baskets set up by nice passes. Kirk had a few moments where I've grown accustom to him putting it up but he instead dished for an easy bucket. We took smart shots and passed when we didn't have it, I really liked that.
The rise of James Gollon the past couple weeks has been meteoric...he played 35 minutes last night! I was beginning to think he was going to just have a career as a solid role player coming off the bench but it is clear he is a big part of our next 2 years. He plays good defense, and as OCF pointed out that hustle play out of bounds was absolutely incredible.
Big time fail by the 110 to loudly play over the substitutions of Laster & Mickle on senior night. The arena and team was trying hard to show their support but the band totally killed the moment. I know they have their protocol but I don't know how you don't understand that moment.
Allow me to be optimistic here, but a healthy Jason Carter (who let me remind you is an absolutely incredible player) to go with Doug (who has impressed the last month or so), with Dartis & Kirk in the backcourt and Gollon/Block mixed in on the wing is the start of a great team in my mind.
