Yesterday was my 2nd time this season to see the Cats in person. A few observations on yesterday's win - and more knowledgeable basketball fans than I feel perfectly free to smack me if you believe I've erred.

* Setty. Showed some nice moves to get off shots down low but miserable touch on those shots.
* Campbell. Hitting his first 3 attempt clearly gave him a shot of confidence that seemed to pay off in all aspects of his game.
* Campbell. I've not checked the game stats, but I don't recall his being whistled for a single foul.
* Team defense. Looked a little better than I expected. With this exception: too many times letting Ball succeed on back door cuts and on short passes under the basket.
* Kiminski. Looked like he was from somewhere else in the solar system and couldn't find a way to return to earth. In another word: lost.
* Simmons. If memory is correct he played 39+ minutes. Understandably. Looks like the team's engine and glue.
* Block: Coming off the bench, he seemed to ignite with both hustling defense and solid offense.
* Great substitution. In the closing seconds Coach Phillips subbed for Kiminski, and the payoff was the steal and dunk.
* Big swing. From down as many as 8 pts in the first half to up by as many as 10 in the second half. Impressive.

nice astute game observation Mike. I like it and your bullet points are right on.
