I went to bed when we were up by 12 with less than a minute left. I guess I missed some butt puckering frustrating end of game play our guys are known for

We got hella sloppy in the last few minutes, with a couple inexplicable turnovers. Go figure.

Him and SWA always curl up with the double team and ends up tie up/turn over


They have no offensive game outside of 5 ft so if they can't get to the glass they don't have a plan b. SWA can shoot an open 3 but they both need to add some options/counters.

Freeman is making a solid case for starting next year. He played all 40 minutes last night and was solid as a rock. Just needs a little more seasoning, which is why this game experience is invaluable.

What's crazy is, I swear I remember preseason there was a video of Jovic in practice just putting one 3 in after another but no matter how wide open he won't shoot one during a game.

Lack of a rim protector and a paint dominating big have been this team's bane all year. Everything else has been a work around for the missing piece.

The most concerning thing about jovic is he has no move other than backing down an opponent into the paint. He cant rely on that always especially if he receives the pass near 3 point knee. That's a known tendency and defensive minded guards will know how to poke that ball out in an unforseen quick double.

Wasn't shooting 3's, mid-range jumpers. I think he was around the elbow or so. Point still stands, it is odd.

This is exactly right. Unfortunately he’s only really effective when he’s not being asked to put the ball on the floor.

Pearl has a major problem…..up by twelve he goes into back off mode which takes the fight out of the team. Damn, I put touchdowns on the board up by 12 with seconds to go.

I told the teams I coached…..score, when in doubt score….never let up. Screw them….score.

They are not running an offense, nothing organized.

I was told preseason that he had a nice mid range game but needed to work on his jump shot. I've seen nothing resembling a mid range game

He can dunk.

He can post up.

I don’t think he shot a 3 point FG this year.

I can’t remember an elbow or short corner jump shot.
