Like to see Shannon guard Davis more

Don’t really want Harmon trying to guard him

Depending on fouls - wouldn’t mind Quincy at the 5

FAU with 7 offensive rebounds. I think imo we are not crashing on our offensive end, is Coach doesn't want them beating us back down court for easy lay ups. Happened a ton against Marquette. We've gotta get some offensive rebounds though!

We shot 61% from 2. :oops:

Unfortunately, FAU shot 50% (5-10) from 3.

Here's some basketball economics. You should 71.4% from 2 (15-21) and 28.6% (2-7) from 3. Total of 17-28 (60.7%). What is so damn great about the 3 that we don't just keep hammering the 2 pointer? It would take us making 8 more threes to equal the 2 point output of the 1st half. At our shooting percentage that would be 8-28 from 3...AT THE HALF!

Now, I as a player was adept to taking the 3, but I also shot almost 40% from 3 for my career. 8-20 from 3 at the half would be more efficient from an economic standpoint, or simple basketball IQ.

We gotta hit the glass. 2nd chance points are huge and we only have 2 offensive rebounds to thier 7. They can shoot but we can't give them and edge on the glass given our size.

I am not that concerned about tonight's outcome... Come March we are going to be the team that nobody wants to play.
