There were moments today when he made everybody else look like they were standing still.

He brings energy and motion.  He has legit moves.  He gets the ball and uses his moves or passes it.; no kill the ball/movement stuff.

If his knees can withstand it he's just got to play major minutes.


The difference in today's game vs. BG was the energy we showed for 3-4 minutes starting about 4 minutes into the 2nd half.  I think those minutes were largely DJ, TJ, Rico, Reg and Smith ??  I'd like to see more of that lineup.

I hate the too many minutes each game when we play without energy.

Our offense will get us through; we'll score.  The difference will be the commitment which we bring to defense (which, if there, will solve our rebounding woes).

NEED ENERGY.

Accurate summary of yesterday's boring-except-for-five minutes game.  And much of our season.

Our m.o. seems to be muddling about, playing teams even for most of the game but winning by dominatinga 5-8 minute stretch.  Didn't work against 'kron and can't see us going far unless we can learn to notch up the effort to significantly more good minutes per game.

I feel as though TJ brings a breath of new life to this team now that he's starting.

He's aggressive, isn't afraid to take shots and is very athletic. Jim Christian said postgame that the ball flows around better when he's in the game and I agree.

Hall is going to be key on our team next year and I like that he's really starting to step his game up to another level now. This is the perfect time to get him more time.

Hopefully his solid stretch continues!

Post game show JC specifically commended TJ for his willingness to "take the ball to the hoop".............

When Ivo came off the bench he had fire in his eyes and got 3 rebounds and threw down a dunk and almost another one and hit a jumper. I hate to say it, but I like Ivo to come off the bench and have T.J.'s intensity the first 4 minutes of each half.
