The good: Hunter is going to be a star, defense is here to stay, I think Robert Jones will give us some good minutes.

The bad: We were out-rebounded by both Kennesaw St and Alabama St, we’re gonna see a lot of zone defense with our lack of shooters.
Hard to win the rebounding battle when missing a lot of shots. Even with effort defense has a rebounding advantage

Ya that team had some athletes. We played poorly of course, but they played pretty decent defense. If we hit a normal percentage from three we win by 15.

"normal"? We won by 8 so need 3 more threes to win by 17. 3 more threes would still be 4-20 for 20%. I consider normal to be 33% or higher so we would have to hit 6 more threes which would have extended the lead to 26.

Was listening vaguely on radio while doing something else. I heard the three, didn’t realize until looking at box it was 1-20. Will have to pay more attention, maybe we will make more

They stay busy and close things off pretty effectively.

Doesn't look all that complicated either.

Were players just told too many things previously?
Maybe, but my guess? Prohm recruited some cancers.

Me first players that didn't really care about winning.

Once he had too many, he lost the team.

You have to want to play defense, and defense requires teamwork,
because you have to always know where your help is, and that you can
trust that it will be there.

In fairness, TJ now may be a far better coach than if TJ had been hired before.

Just enjoy the ride, and especially the effort.

Brockington, Junior coming from Penn State. Looks like his signing was a huge key to this teams success so far. 13 rebounds!!! And he's only 6'5"? Wow!!

Lol ok. Sorry I was a little conservative with my critique.

Well it's a W and that's what counts. The bad was our shooting %. it was a tough night to get shots to fall.

The good once again defense and rebounding, we got out rebounded but kept going after them. Also good was the way the crowd is buying into defensive effort at around the 13 minute mark in the 2nd half Conditt while on the bench did the arm wave everybody up thing, the crowd responded. Also the crowd responded to some really solid defense followed by dunks. I was disappointed in the crowd size, but the ones that were there got into the game. Well onto Sun which by the way is men's and women's double header. 2 games for 1 drive, can't beat that for a bargain.

Total speculation, but I think he is serving some kind of unannounced, unofficial suspension. He's good enough to see the floor on this team, so it's not that. I expect to see him in the next game.
Hard disagree. Whose minutes does he take?
