How did you like the lineup for South Carolina Game

I think this was the nicest surprise. Played with a ton of energy. Got some deflections as well.

I had people at my house so my attention was divided but is it a bad thing that I was like who is that when I first saw him doing good things?

I really kinda thought overall we played a little better last night- still not what I thought we'd be but a little better.

.....also had 2 charges (note: I went to check the stats to see where that put him compared to rest of the guys, we don't even record charges as a stat. If we do, they aren't where I can find them.)
Some of the other guys need to take notice of that effort.

Random thoughts:
Macon is really playing at a high level right now.
Our motion offense is 10x better when we aren't clogging the post with Gafford. Opens up our curls and backdoor cuts.
The game is really starting to slow down for Hall. I like his energy.
Gafford really needs another year, and not just for my own selfish reasons.
Beard's shooting percentage is awful, he needs to only shoot layups and become an actual point guard who penetrates and dishes. His and Holmes percentages are basically identical. Lots of shots to get his 9ppg.
We seem to be getting back to making the extra pass when we draw the help defender.
Defense is still hit and miss, but the younger guys are giving us more energy.
Jones needs more minutes, take them from Beard, not Hall.
As we creep closer to being just a bubble team or as we get closer to tourney time, I expect the Seniors to finally start playing with a sense of urgency and we will all be "Where has that been the last 2 months!" (Hopefully)

Nice win. We just have to figure out something on the road or that may just be the excuse to keep us out of the tourney or to seed us against North Carolina in the first round somehow.

Osabuohien played very well. I liked the energy.

That being said, I'm noticing a trend here. We've had a bit of a revolving door in the lineup (Thomas, Bailey, Cook, Osabuohien, Hall, etc.). Seems like a lot of guys play their way into the starting lineup with 'high energy' type of plays, but then forget what got them to the starting lineup. Hopefully Osabuohien keeps up the high energy play.
