That was awesome. It's great seeing big Josh get more assertive on the offensive end.

Dennis reminds me of Jared Butler in a lot of ways. He's not an exceptional athlete, but he's so damn skilled. He can get to his spot whenever he wants and is remarkably efficient as a scorer.

If Missi could shoot free throws, he'd average three more points per game. Great finish there, though.
Johnny Bear

Missi has got to get better from the FT line. Teams are going to keep sending him there and if he keeps missing that alone could end up being the difference in some tight games especially when we get into conference.

Our bigs tug down this team's percentage like an anchor. Everyone else on this roster is money.

This is a tough and gritty Seton Hall team, great test for us

Most promising thing I've seen on D tonight is that both Missi and Josh O continue to get more comfortable being physical inside. Great sign for the rest of the year.

I kinda attribute that to playing 2 easy teams last week, so you come into a game against a more talented, physical team with better athletes and faster hands and you're not as ready. Let's see if we adjust at the half and clean up in the second half now that we recognize the changes.

Through almost 15 minutes of the 2nd half: Turnovers - 1

It's crazy when you think that this team has still only played nine games together. The best is yet to come.
DanaDane

Fully agree. I had a gut feeling after watching him once that Missi would get better throughout the season. The one that is making me really excited is to see the progression Josh continues to make.
CHP Bear

Regardless, that foul counted as 4 points.

Josh is that classic four-year developmental big that Drew has had so much success with. He's going to be really good by the time he leaves Waco.

18 point win versus a scrappy team

I'll take it any day of the week.

Strong finish. Good win!

I'm actually glad we got challenged in the second half. That experience of answering that challenge and separating will pay off down the road.

Good win. Onward and Upward.

Great game. In hand from tip to buzzer. Nice night.
Let’s Go!

Love that we got challenged physically and more than withstood the challenge. Also liked that we took the 9 TOs in the first half and cleaned it up to only 3 in the 2nd half.

Great interview with Walter. Definitely a team player, and quality person.

He's still usually the first one to hustle over to celebrate when a teammate makes a play. Shows he's a team first guy.

And we forced a few turnovers ourselves

Had an errand to do. But got to watch the second half on recording.

Very nice win. Lots of weapons on offense.

I think love was trying a bit too hard in the first half settled down and played much better in the second half.

Missi just wow. Athletic with good hands and so young. Needs work on defense and free throws.

Walter great game and more assertive this game.

Josh O played well and it was nice to see him take it to the hole once he got a step on his defender.

Dennis with a very good night. Showed leadership when it was needed.

Lohner helped on offense some but was a focal point of their attack on defense. He grabbed some good boards and gave us his usual high level hustle.

We are night and day better offensively this year.

We still seem to give up easy transition buckets when we surprise press the other team. Our half court defense is better imo.
Quinton

Just watched. Solid outing. Great start but we tend to take foot off once they get up big. Get more casual with the ball and the defensive intensity dissipates. Still things to work on but when they turn it on this team is special. Consistency and ball security needed to break games wide open. Still good experience.

Grimes got 0 minutes... Little 2.

Wonder if he has narrowed it down to 8 already.
Crawfoso1973
How long do you want to ignore this user?
You beat me to it. Yep we are down to 8. Really 7.5 man rotation as I don't really view Lohner as a full rotation player. Strictly a backup to Bridges good for 8-10 minutes max the other 7 guys rotating equally. I've said all along Bridges is our MVP because without him we really would have no way of replacing his production. Grimes an emergency PG as injury insurance. Little at this point getting developmental minutes only.
