[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 1588442, member: 4716"] Team looked like #5 for about 10 minutes and then # 105 for the rest of the game. What I really liked were Frazier and Miller hitting shots out of the gate....and Ayo hitting true jumpers (to go with one set shot) in the last 2 minutes. Ayo needs to elevate and release quickly with arms extended....and he showed as good technique as anyone in two of those last 3 shots from the perimeter. One was not a 3 but was just inside the arc. But horrendous free throw shooting and sloppy turnovers....5 by Ayo...allowed a NW team with a huge talent deficit to hang in the the final 2 minutes. For whatever reason, BU does not play Grandison and Cohawk enough for them to improve and gain confidence in how to contribute in the clutch. Curbelo was a minus player also and needs more explicit explanation...or bench time...on cutting down dumbass turnovers. But his play is a much needed boost when he does....so his minutes become a tough problem to solve Hopefully, with all the close games....that should not be...the team is gaining confidence in the clutch...Ayo certainly is.
