[QUOTE="EfremWinters84, post: 1245739, member: 571750"] A few takeaways: 1. Thorne's inside defense was just awful. I watched him, specifically, on several plays. Hogan schooled him in 2nd half (when MT got most of the minutes at the 5). It was a real beat-down. Hogan looked very good! In contrast, the announcers were complimenting Mav's help defense a few times. 2. TJL got only a few minutes. Disappointing. Tate led in assists, but what stands out to me were his two opportunities to make a shot beyond 3 feet. (A) a terribly missed three pointer, and (B) a 6 footer in the lane that he chose to pass rather than shoot, resulting in a turnover. Tate won't get criticized and he wasn't horrible, but TJL could have contributed just as much IMHO. 3. Tate and Tracy played a lot of minutes together once again. I'm still thinking it's a prelude to the upcoming WVU game. Hey --- a win is a win. Onward to 5-0 this Monday! Then the real non-conference schedule begins. [/QUOTE]
