[QUOTE="SecretAgentBuzz, post: 918468, member: 253"] Nice to get back in the win column. Here are some thoughts: What I liked: -Pastner taking full credit for the abysmal losses in Florida and making changes. -The new starting lineup. Smith at the point and the three sophs (Deebo, Kelly, and JMoore) give us size, athleticism, scoring ability, and versatility. That's our best lineup (probably with Franklin too, but perhaps Howard against bigger teams). These four are young, though, so there will be ups and downs. -Better offense. I know, I know, everybody hates the 5 coming to the elbow to receive the ball and play from there, but I actually don't mind it (I do think we run it too much though). The key is that the other 4 need to be making good screens and good cuts, and when we do, we often open up space for drives and shots. We shot 59.6% from the field and had 16 assists on 31 made field goals--that's pretty good. -Ja'von Franklin. He is really turning into an asset inside and he plays much bigger than 6'7". He had another 4 blocks today (and has 16 on the season), and we really need that shot-blocking presence inside. -Deivon Smith, again. He fills up the box score, that's for sure. 16 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block with only 1 TO. He even made a three (but missed two others). He still needs to work on those free throws, though. -Keeping the intensity. After the first 5 minutes, we never let them make a run to get close. Anybody can beat anybody in college basketball and I will take every 19 point win we can get. -Free throw defense. Excellent, once again. NA shot only 45.5 and teams are only shooting 61.7% on the year. Let's keep up that free throw defense! What I didn't like: -Defensive rebounds still needs much work. They had 15 offensive rebounds! -Sturdivant didn't have a very good game. He is usually very solid, but had 4 TOs. What I am curious about: -What the rotation will look like moving forward.
