[QUOTE="Chieeeeffffff, post: 1684288, member: 748130"] There have been a few posts about the refs getting “swept up” in the comeback and I would have to agree. Lot of questionable whistles on drives that may or may not have involved generous interpretations of the traveling rules. But they gutted it out and have a quad 1 win to show for it. A few more thoughts: This new quick trigger version of Grandison is awesome. He and Plummer are shooting ridiculous percentages from distance on high volume and Trent and Damonte haven’t even rounded into form yet on the perimeter. All the pieces are there to be scary if they start shooting better. Kofi’s evolution and maturity are incredible. He’s grabbed 16.5 boards a game through two B10 games and has seen a dip in scoring to keep the ball moving and not get stuck taking on double and triple teams. He should have had at least 1-2 assists again last night if teammates had converted easy chances. As he continues to get more comfortable moving the ball, we will score at will. We kind of are already despite missing our most gifted ball handler and passer. Coleman embracing being a defensive stopper is awesome. He gave Murray issues. He shut Harper’s water off. He will only get better. I had a post after the UTRGV game that the ceiling of this team would hinge a lot on the four games that followed and that a team with top seed aspirations needed to take 3/4. Well, they already have. Let’s get greedy. [/QUOTE]
