[mumuskie87]

Marshall, Goodin and Scruggs are 1-9 from 3 so far.
Welage and Castlin are 2-2.
The wrong guys are shooting.
Marshall and Goodin are X's 2 worst offensive players based on KenPom ORtg ratings.

[mumuskie87]

Hankins is the best big in this league.

He has had a helluva of year.
Wish X had him for another year or two.
And he has had a great 1H.
Keeping it close for X.

Goodin - just pass the f'in ball.
Don't shoot , don't shoot, don't shoot.

Looking a lot like Nova at X. Nova was very hot early, Steele made the adjustment by going small, and the defensive rotations were much better, like this game.

[Anti-Homer]

Q had a great last six minutes. Coincidentally, all shots were in the paint.

[muskieman]

Nice end of half...who was that player that scored at the end there? Must be the friend of Sky and AH.

[mumuskie87]

2 driving layups by Goodin to end the half
X up 7.
Goodin finished the half going 0-2 from 3 and 2-4 from 2.
And 2 assists and 0 TO's.
X only had 4 TO's.
CU cooled off from 3 and finished 6-17.
X has to keep the defensive pressure up on the 3's in the 2H

Q had a great last six minutes. Coincidentally, all shots were in the paint.

He finished 2-4 from 2.
He has the worst shooting % on the team from 2 at 43%.
The less he shoots the better X is.
Castlin is next at 49% followed by Marshall at 50%.

AH gave him much love. Like I tell you at every moderator meeting, use all the crayons in the box, and not only the blue one. I feel good when my commentary aligns with Larkin, while yours aligns with Goodin's grandma. For the record, I love Q and the rest of the players. I periodically loathe their play, approx 8.2% of the time.

The low t.o.s, and 10 rebound lead is why X is winning. Creighton went something like 2 for their last 10 treys. Defense is locking in again, fulfilling Steele's prophecy about this team. As Mman can attest, I never wavered from TS' contention that this would be a great defensive team.
