Two missed front ends by Jones and Tre hurts - lost opportunity for 4 points,
Down 5 at the half

JP was solid and KG played well.
Basketball was able to neutralize Delgado some.
Tough half for Q, Scruggs played better - had 3 assists and 0 TO's.
Tre has to play better for X to win
Might need to play 2 bigs to combat SH's offensive boards.
Neither shooting well from 3
SH is 3-11 and X is 4-13

One thing we need is a better plan when they press. It seems like Q and Scruggs break it fairly easily giving us a 5-4 or even 5-3 situation but then once Q gets past them never has a great plan on where to go with it and we end up turning it over anyway. We need to have shooters in the corners and people cutting.

Let's see what a little coaching from Mack can do to change the dynamic in this game

Geesh...Basketball misses everything on the front end of a 1 and 1
that hand or the wrap must be a problem for him
His foul shooting wasn't bad early in the year. Lately he looks like he has no confidence.

SH has players that match up with Tre which has made him go into a shell and Q needs to play stronger with ball and score some points.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

We need better point guard play. This will be a major problem next year. Goodin and Scruggs are careless and neither can shoot. X 1 for 14 vs Nova PU and Hall on the road. Not a good road team

2 possessions - 2 offensive boards - 5 points.
Lead stretches from 5 to 10.
Damn it.

Sanogo is killing us on the O boards with 5 Again missed FTs from our better shooters

Getting killed on boards. No way we win if that continues
