[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1569746, member: 4069"] Watched Underwood's postgame. Seemed really happy with the effort and execution overall. Commented on a lot of the things guys did right. Also I think he was pleased with a road W where the guys abused the opponent in the paint. That's a pretty reliable game plan to have on your side. Walked the line well on the ending --mentioned first, "that's not what we're about", but was clearly not upset with Ayo's intention to stand up for a teammate being bullied. I'm thrilled with the result. Lotta good in this one. Thought even the officiating went our way on balance. If I'm being critical, there's still a lot of improvements that can be made, and the defense looks like it's missing something. Although Underwood was asked directly about the defense, and he didn't seem concerned given the way they want to play with pace. Seems to believe there is a trade-off with a high pace that you need to accept. Gotta give a shout-out to Grandison. Leading rebounder despite coming off the bench, and got him some easy buckets. I think that's partially because of how we matched up, so I'm not projecting a big leap, but was great to see. [/QUOTE]
