That was an extremely entertaining game. WOW!
'kron hits a dball 2 seconds into the game, next hoop (Treadwell?) just throwis it at the rim and it goes in (after a travel, not called), suddenly it's 9-0, then our huge run...tremendous game.
We are lacking on the boards and on defense (recovery off doubling). But if we'd've played in our losses as we played tonight, we'd have a better record for sure. We played well.
Treadwell is a fine player. He's not as explosive as our Walt but he's physically dominant in that type of way.
Only one complaint about tonight--lack of energy for the first part of the 2nd half when 'kron made their run.
That was a good ball game.
We can get them in Cleveland.
Treadwell is an absolute animal...I kind of thought we should've gone offense for defense between Reg and Smith as Reggie just looked a half-step slow and didn't have the quick jump to keep him off the boards.
I cannot get over how quickly Akron's run came at the start of the half...felt like I hadn't even settled back into my chair yet and our lead was down to 3.
I completely agree with you...that was a great college basketball game, Akron is a very good team.
Our effort was superb for about 95% of the game...too bad the 5% we let off, Akron went nuts and couldn't miss. We ran out of gas in overtime--DJ just looked exhausted as he was leaving everything short, and Reggie's feet just looked stuck in the mud.
Huge effort from Jon Smith and Travis Wilkins off the bench...those guys deserve some serious credit.
Anyway, I'm trying to stay positive after this one...I won't beat up the coaching staff as I know they'll be plenty of that going around.
