At 1-1 Wake Forest. They haven’t played well but they look like a really good team on paper, and 1 and 3 are very tough. This is our biggest challenge so far.
11/25: 18-41 at the half.
We did nothing right. Davis had foul trouble on D and was stifled on O. Awful half.
Complete reversal, 42-19 in the 2nd and it’s OT. We scored the last 8 in regulation, dominated the boards, couldn’t miss in the last 5 minutes and shut them down. Our back court was on fire.
At the break I tell the guys to feed the guards.
It works, we score the first 9 on 3 threes. They come back but can’t catch us, 72-69. Good win over a tough team.
-2, even (18 TOs, TOs are our biggest problem, along with lack of depth), 40-42%, fouls were 18-6 which nearly did us in.
32, 3, 7 for Hart, 25, 1, 2, 1 for Carr. 8, 6 for Call. They focused on stopping Davis and did, he was scoreless, but he had 9 RBs. We got a total of 3 points from the bench which does not bode well for the future.
11/27: Nick Barber, #35 C, signs. Got 5. We may make some moves at the end of the season, we’ll see. Great draft and 2 outstanding transfers. Watch out for us next year!
2-3 Western Kentucky is in. Some outside strength.
11/29: 40-33 at the half.
Hart played 3 minutes due to fouls. Wolk played 5 as his back up PG, due to getting in foul trouble. I had to go with two guys who don’t play much, and they did well. Fortunately the other guys had as much foul trouble as we did. Refs were whistle happy. I got a T and so did the W. KY coach.
Our bench saved us, 83-72. Refs stayed whistle happy. Hart played 10 min. before fouling out, and his back up Wolk played 18. Minn and Sloan got it done.
+13, -6 (15 TOs), 52-39%, fouls were 21-19 and again, the other guys had even more foul trouble than we did, 2 starters and a sub fouling out. Our 1st 2nd PGs fouled out.
18, 6, 1, 1 for Call, 16, 9 for Davis who was back on track, 11, 4 for John in his best game so far, 10, 2, 1 for Wolk, 6, 4, 3 for Minn, 5, 2, 1 for Sloan so some real help from guys who don’t play much.
This team has exceeded my expectations so far.
At 3-3 St. John’s. 2 bad losses, 1 good win. Not deep but they have some talent.
12/2: 19-34 at the half.
As badly as we’ve played all year. Turning it over, not rebounding, standing around on both ends. I get pretty loud.
We play them even in the 2nd, never get it to single digits, 49-64. A real step backward.
-18 (!), -3 (18 TOs), 41-44%.
18, 1, 1, 1 for Call, 6, 6, 2 for Davis, 5, 3, 6 for Hart but 6 TOs. No one else did much of anything.
I’m hoping it was simply an off night but we’ll work hard in practice.
