First of all, St. Bonaventure is a solid 5-2 team from a conference that is rated ahead of ours so no shame in losing. Here are some insights from someone (me) in attendance.
1. Without Dartis you could see Saul had trouble with his substitution patterns. It was all over the place. Jordy would have been a definite zone buster and would have helped defensively on Adams or Caputo.
2. Gollon should have played more. Was awesome with 8 points in first half and barely played second half. He could have been a zone buster. Outplayed Khari by far, although Khari had a solid game.
3. Tony with only three boards is never a good thing.
4. Jaaron with three turnovers was great. More under control. Worried about 37 minutes of PT. Don't want him dead by MAC time.
5. Block had one of his worst games so far which shows that we need him hitting, kind of like Kron needs Kretzer and MacAdams hitting. Block is similar to them.
6. Wadly was solid in his time on the court. So aggressive. I can see him schooling MAC big men off the bench. Will be nice with Kent's size.
7. Treg's double-double was nice. He was hustling all over the place. Love what he brings offensively now.
8. 9 of 26 from 3 is not good when the other team is 10 of 22.
9. Overall, nice venue...feels smallish but that adds to the experience. Their student section is very good. I was impressed with their coach. Just a solid job by their school. Not a bad loss by any means.
10. I feel like we can go 8-4 non con and at least 11-7 in conference to finish 19-11 overall. That would be awesome.
Agree with you on 1,2,3 and 10. I still feel good about this group. One thing that you didn't mention is the Bonnie guard, who is not know for his 3pt prowess, going off in the second half. Sometimes, there's not much you can do about that.
