I just watched the game. Did not read all these pages.
Keon Johnson is the real deal. Holy crap Mav and FInke were garbage tonight. Finke made some shots but also made some bad plays and made the plays that lost the game in OT(threw the ball away after stealing the inbounds and then doesnt box his man on a freeaking free throw and they get two more and ice it.) Sometimes you just have a bad night I guess.
Thorne didnt really get many touches tonight. When he did he mostly made plays.
Leron not coming in the first 4 minutes of OT was a huge and costly mistake. He clearly got it going in the second half. And then he was taken out at the end of OT. Again, mistake. (although we did steal the inbounds! and then gave it away again)
Malcolm has to stop forcing it so much. He does too much when its not necessary. He just dribbles right into where our post guys are,clogging it up, and takes tough contested shots that never go in. He does this every game. He needs to take good shots in rhythm, like he got early on, and its nothing but cash. He then proceeded to miss like his next 10 shots after his hot start early.
Also, no DJW???
Leron and Tracy need to be on the floor as much as possible. We were clearly outplaying them when they were out there. JCL needs to be in to get his groove back. From there, you have Malcolm(self explanatory) and a big man. Winning formula.
I think we needed this loss to wake us up. And I think it does. I think we come out fired up against WVU and ready to play.
I mean, so much went wrong tonight. I think if we played this team 100 times, this was that one time they would win.
