That we played our best game had a lot to do with the opponent, but nevertheless, it was nice to finally have a breather.

This was McKenzie’s best game. The offense flowed better with him and he had some nifty dishes in the halfcourt set and in transition. Only four assists but he could have had eight. You can see his confidence growing, and my confidence is also. He deserves the starting job.

Second straight game starting three freshmen. Ochefu looks like a young fawn out there but I like what I’ve seen.

We did what we didn’t do the first game - pound it inside against a much smaller team. Ochefu got some looks early, and Petras had some easy ones in there. He also was active defensively. As a team, we drove it a lot and had some rare uncontested shots.

40 points in the paint, 43 bench points.

Great to see Sekunda back, even if he plays a secondary role. We may need him to hit some big shots down the stretch.

It’s seeming more and more like UC is option #2 offensively - and I can’t disagree with it. He’s been solid, particularly in terms of just flatout effort. Also it looks like Boals is comfortable with Olaniyi in some key spots on the other end. Worth noting: Harris and Jones combined for 29 in their win at their place; they had just six tonight for UML.

and whaddya know- we put our bigs on the court, played in the paint, moved the ball, took high % shots, and won. 

i still think ochefu needs more toughness (and better hands) but if christie isnt ready to go next fall, we are headed for emergency mode.

i noticed the empty seats.  if you cant beat UML last time around, why go out in the cold and watch this game.  more importantly, why sign with SB.  bigger problem.
