One of the things I liked to see was Policelli being more aggressive in that second half. The shot wasn’t falling, and he only had three (all threes) in the first 20 minutes. So he posted up or put the ball in the floor and tried to get buckets in close or at the line.
Also, Pettway’s providing real value. He’s attacking the rim and looking to score in general, which I think this team needs a bit of. TO was doing the same. He’s going to be good. I wonder what happens when Clarke returns—maybe fewer minutes for Roberts, who I thought struggled.
I do think we were really at the mercy of their shooting. We barely attempted to get a hand in their face on most threes, and once they started go down, it got away from us.
But still, a real nice effort. A split in RI would be terrific, although we face another team hungry for their first win.
