But in the second half, we just stopped all that and started playing hero ball. Davenport set the tone by taking a series of bad threes and it went downhill from there. The defense was also fairly bad in the second half. Hopefully this game helps teach the guys that we have to play a full game.
Plenty for Wes Miller to teach, but we got a win.

Ody could really be a great option for us. He knows how to get his shot off down low and usually it's in or rattles around. He's mobile enough to be out on perimeter on D. He rebounds well. He can jump out the gym for a big.
He also fouls a lot. And I haven't watched closely enough to see how often he is out of place...but I would like to see him get more time. He and Vik can get the ball in the bucket down low...but Vik gets stripped a lot and Ody does not. His plus minus is the best of the bigs. Wes just needs to slow him down a bit and teach him how to play D without fouling.
He's a good candidate for a breakout player next year. Hopefully Wes can work out the bugs this year. He's fun to watch and easy to root for with his energy.
