Some of you peeps have got to chill. It was a game. That we lost. That we should have won. That was in the wildest and weirdest of possible set ups with Covid, the quadruple overtime, the contactless practices, etc.
It troubles me that we had bad free throw shooting in the first half ( 61%) and second half (55%) which to me was the story of the game. Thankfully we woke up in the 4 OT Periods (82%); I’m sure in part because of who was being fouled - let’s take a moment to at least agree Moses and Jose are absolute beasts.
Our offense looked rough in the 4 outs sets, and we felt the loss of Banks. That said Moses looked like his hair was on fire and Saba is going to get better. Howard was disappointing though (let’s see more than a single game, and the first of the season at that) he is working with one of, if not the best big man coaches in college ball.
Turnovers were frustrating- but again the second half (12) looked better than the 1st (14); and only 2 through 20 minutes of overtime.
We need to rest up and hydrate for a quick turn around against Mercer tomorrow night. I suspect and believe we will look cleaner over the next three to five games.
I want to win them all too, but I also think GaSt is better than people are giving them credit for right now. Time will tell.
Until then, happy thanksgiving all - I’ll lift a glass of scotch to you all this evening
