Did those referees not realize shot blocking is legal? Both AJs out there cleanly rejecting dunks at the rim only to be whistled.

Now that is funny on so many levels.

Would have been nice to stay though to support another team.

Nope. Though I will add that there was no presence of or recognition per TA as MAC COY. I assumed this was his personal decision/request which is pretty humble and cool on his part if so.

Still no mention of Miles Brown? If he doesn't go off for 23 first-half points, it's an entirely different game. It's not like BRod used his starting opportunity to light it up.

Not to get all boomer-like, but they could've at least had the team wear a polo or something? Flip flops and hoods up must be the drip these days.

For example. . . ?

Good news is a couple of these guys can play.

Bad news is they're all guards and next year we have no one over 6'4"

Miles is a combo guard. Good off the bounce but not quite a pg, on the short side to be a true 2 guard. Herky-Jerky, changes speeds well, crafty finisher..... Unfortunately, he has been pegged into a catch and shoot guy primarily..If his usage and more importantly , opportunites to come off ball screens regularly increased, he'd average 17-20 a game.. he's a very talented, smart kid. There's a reason he's top 5 all time in points scored in NY HS history

He's a starter with this roster.

Would like to see more consistency from Miles, which I can say about everyone on OUr roster with the exception of DW.

Game-to-game consistency?

Last seven games scoring by Miles: 9, 24, 9, 7, 12, 3, 27. Going back farther will show the same.

This just enrages and puzzles me to no end. I can almost understand not getting to many or any of the games, but they are literally already there in the building...Just hang out another 40 minutes. You would think they would understand the team needs and appreciates the support. The student section was weak and my old curmudgeon self will never be able to accept this apathy.

Anyway, as for the game...Boals clearly challenged this team to make a better effort defensively and it showed. A lot of really good defensive plays made and better hustle and attention to detail. I could be wrong, but while coach has been upset with the entire team defensively, I get the impression he has been particularly disappointed in Hunter & Baker.

On the offensive side, CMU's perimeter defense was atrocious. We had so many wide open looks and we used it to the tune of 15 made threes. Only 9 turnovers and most of those were in the final 10 minutes or so. Good defense and responsible offense...that's a good formula. But of course we must remember this was home cooking against a weaker opponent.

I've been calling for Miles to be our go-to man all season. He has the most reliable outside shot to go with PG level ball skills and top tier defensive abilities. He has a 49.4% 3 point percentage. He needs to shoot more and Jaylin needs to shoot less. I really hope he comes back for year #5.

Coach is starting to come around to not feeling like he has to have 1 of Wilson or Wiz on the court. There were 9 minutes where neither were on the court. This gives us hope that maybe some day he will remove Wiz from the rotation. Hadaway & Adelodun looked very good in their brief appearances, and Roderick has no question been better this season. Would love to give all of Wiz's minutes to those guys.

Defense was emphasized in Thu and Fri practices and it showed Saturday with the team getting their hands on a lot of balls and playing the passing lanes more. Boals appreciated it and showed that appreciation at the start of a second-half time out by running out on the court toward the student section, jumping up and down and pumping his fist. I think the aggressiveness on defense led to a high amount of fouls and CMU free throws (25) but it paid off.

Sending them your way M.D.W.S.T

Haha

Just glad this coaching staff is listening to my suggestions...hahahahah.
