We got solid minutes from both Brod and Wiz tonight. Not sure if the data proves this out, but we certainly look like a better team when Brod is on the floor. Just a smart player and his 2-3 from 3 was huge for us. Wiz played really well for "DJ" Wilson after he had to hit the bench with his 2nd foul. Nice defensive presence and didn't cost us on the offensive end, even though that moving screen foul he picked up was marginal at best. When these two guys are playing well, I like our chances.
I sat behind the 2nd half Akron basket and Brod’s defense was mostly fantastic snd I believe he keyed the rally out to 18 points.
wiznitzer was playing a VERY good game when he was in there running the court and his hustle stick back on a break in the first half was D1 quality. He worked over Freeman as much as he could and stepped out to help the guards without Freeman burning him. He helped Groce and Ford lose their monds when playing tough D on the flopping Freeman who took one in the eye when his head was traveling to the hardwood.
My first time to see the Hardwood House—nice use of that area!
Nice to see the Bobcats open an 18 point lead on a team that is predicted by the experts to make a lot of noise this year at the Dance. Bull, Holy Toledo, Kent let that happen OHIO..
