Should probably consider covering Lewis a little better.

I like how we are working the ball into the paint. We appear to have a huge size advantage.

8-8 at under 16 timeout. Started strong and faded. Don't like the energy early.

Motley should do a quick drop step dribble into the post and jam it home w/ the little guy who is guarding him. He needs to get angry.

It looks like we didn't plan for them to press which seems strange. Need to adjust and stop being sloppy.

Ish is great but that's our weakest position at wing. We need a scorer there.

Not sure if Lindsey or Chuck is the answer, hopefully Omot.

VCU hits a nice runner in the lane, 10-10 14:10

bad possession but Freeman manages to get to the rim, but he misses, late whistle is a foul... Al hits 1 of 2, we get the rebound but turn it over and VCU gets a dunk, sigh. 12-11 VCU 13:30

Weak touch foul on Lecomte but I guess that's the new rules.

offensive foul on Motley as he forces a backdown and VCU smartly flops on him

nice defense in the corner by Jake, snuffing out Lewis and it leads to a travel. 12-11 VCU 12:50

King in, drives and is tied up... "this is fine"

long possession for VCU and a missed 3 late, they get rebound but Jo with the swat!

leads to an Al drive and bucket + 1! 13-12 BU 11:55, shooting 1 after media

Not sure what lineup we're running out there but it's full of bad decision makers right now.

A good team could shred our perimeter right now. It's just not good. We won't go away from it but w/ the middle I'd like to see us try a 2-3 at times.

Motley is just so slow on the post. It's OK to wait to see what the defense is going to do but make your move.

The defense has picked up nicely. The offense stalled.

Nice drive by freeman.

GREAT PLAY by Acuil. Will go unnoticed in the box score but he completely sealed his defender which allowed Al a lane to the basket for a lay-up.

Acuil is a difference maker!

Great sequence there. Block on the defensive end and then Al finishes through contact to get the and-1 chance.

13-12 at the under 12 timeout
