November 24, 2021
3,914
Positives
- Won the turnover battle 14-8
- Won the rebounding battle 43-36
- Built a comfortable first half lead and was able to coast to a double digit victory
- Six guys score between 9-15 points. Lots of balance and unselfishness
- Defensive intensity is good. Hold Guard-U to less than 1 point per possession (0.91)
- Good to see Adam Flagler back and productive (13 points)
- Good to see Matt Mayer making some threes (2-4). 14 points and 4 rebounds
- Akinjo runs the show. 28 assists to 7 turnovers the last 3 games
- Jeremy Sochan hits the glass, 9 rebounds
- Kendall Brown another highly efficient game 187 offensive rating
- Thamba and Tchatchoua give us pick setting, rebounding, defense and rim protection
Needs Work
- FT shooting defense (13-16)
- Killer instinct to put teams away by 20+ when they give you that opportunity
- Three point defense could be better (37%). Also need to shoot higher 3 percentage (33%)
- Offense just needs time to gel. VCU plays great D (#14 KenPom) so game may be ugly
- 64% on free throws, need to make the easy ones
