Big road win as they all are in the 12

Positives

  • Offensive consistency throughout the game was strong.  If you break the game into 10 minute segments, the Bears score 21, 21, 29 and 23.  
  • You love the 19 assists and only 8 turnovers, good poise on the road.  RayJ Dennis has been strong with the ball the last 2 games (16 assists and 2 turnovers)
  • 1.34 points per possession is terrific.  WVU has been a mess defensively all year.  But they have good talent and that’s not an easy place to get a W especially without one of your top players in Langston Love.  
  • The balance offensively was terrific, the Bears share the ball.  Everyone eats.  Six guys in double figures is great.  
  • Good to see Ja’Kobe Walter see some 3 pointers go through the basket.  I loved his energy and poise.  
  • Jayden Nunn has been on one of the best 2 game streaks in the country.  47 points on 24 shots.  

Needs Work

  • Finishing games, we have to develop the killer instinct at the end of games and finish off opponents better.  
  • Have to be smarter about fouling especially when we put teams in the bonus.
