We just needed the slight opening of 7 points. Get them out of wrestleball. Opens up the court for our shooters. And our shooters are responding!!!!!!!

We got almost 4 minutes out of Lohner. He played his role perfectly. It won't show in the stats as he has 0 points and 0 boards, but 3 of his passes resulted in subsequent passes for scores. He pounded inside. Played good D.

THAT is what we need from a guy like him.

Well done, Caleb.
