There was one play late where a defender fell down right in front of him and he didn't shoot or try to penetrate while he was on the ground. He was so focused on getting the ball to Washington he totally missed it. Glad he came through in the end...but Troy's head was not in the game at least for some of it. |

As for Quadri I have know idea how he looks in practice but in the games its really feast or famine with a bit more famine. Coach runs him out there to see which one he gets. Scott right now is challenged offensively. Could be with the way the offense was going early Coach felt we needed more scoring. He tried Quadri and when that failed went small. We got very little from our 2 guards which didn't help the situation. Without Brooks if we need scoring he'll probably try Moore and if its defense he'll go with Scott. Of course all that can change with how the game is going and how each plays. |

I love Troy and glad he came through, but I couldn't believe at the end either when he was waiting for Jacob and then finally drove or how he didn't shoot when the defender fell right in front of him. Oh well it worked but I don't get why he becomes so passive at times. Cane Broome is going to be the opposite. Troy could drive a lot more, he needs to.
Overall, it was like we decided to try harder at the end of the game. Some games your shots not going to fall, I'm not talking about that. Intensity and defense was ugly for 35 minutes. I don't think they will do that in the big dance but they better be careful or they will drop to a UCF or a team like that. The SMU game will have their attention so I don't think focus and intensity will be the issue that game just worries me because SMU is just good. We are battle tested though. One of the best comebacks I have ever seen. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right? Maybe we don't win that game if we didn't win the Marshall game. Maybe these are all blessings in disguise to push us to the limit. Last edited by GarradJ21; 02-02-2017 at 07:59 AM. |

That link shows the +/- for each lineup used last night. The top and bottom lines shouldn't really shock anyone. |

Where's the highlights? Going on the internet it's like this game never happened.

He was brutal. Unfortunately, we may need him again over the next few games until Brooks get back. Tre didn't give us much either, although the strip at the end of the game was big. |

Troy was pretty even for the game on +/- which makes sense since he played almost the whole game. Our best positive guys seem to have been Washington, Cumberland, Jenifer, and Clark in that order. Our negative guys were KJ, Quadri, Scott, and Evans in that order. Not sure why we didn't see Jenifer a little while longer because he had an immediate positive impact. Big winners were Washington and Cumberland with net positives of 16 and 15 respectively. Least effective were KJ and Quadri at -17 and -9 when they were in the game. Some of this could be due just to good or bad timing (team is hitting or missing shots). Some of it could be due to how things work (other than simply counting their own points) when certain players are in the game. One game doesn't tell you much. I wish we could get more data like this. |

Also the game winning jumper. He was being defended for a drive, so he took the best shot available. People praise someone like malik monk for his late game jumpers but are hard on Troy for that shot selection? C'mon, those were senior plays as opposed to junior drives for blocks. |
