Re: MBB OT Final : Louisiana 76, SMU 72
Those threes from the corner were daggers. That’s a team that knows how to win a game. I’m pumped.

Jeaux Charles with the prettiest ugly shot

Charles was a difference maker last night with his defense. He is a very good defender.

What I really like about this team is the fact that we have guards that are capable of handling the ball even when Thomas and Fulks don't. Williams, Dalcourt and Garnett can all be capable ball handlers while on the court. And they are all fairly good distributors of the basketball. That being said, Jordan Brown is a great passer from the post position as well.
Joe Charles has the ugliest shot, but it is very good. Hell Kentrell Garnett's shot is not pretty either, but I have confidence every time he shoots it.
Williams was spectacular late in the game last night, that 3 from the corner off the curl, was huge. He barely had time to square up to hit it. And it looked like he was doing it with one eye half shut.

He did not. Joe ChArles was in the game at the end of regulation and OT. Lewis was on the bench supporting his teammates. That in itself is encouraging

He wasn't on the bench, dude was everywhere but sitting. He seems to be a great teammate

Last year we started Greg Williams JR at point early in year. Then we went to undersized Trajan Wesley. Our run in the tournament occurred with Michael Thomas playing more. This season we have decided to go with whoever is more effective between Fulks and Thomas depending on matchups. Much more stable situation than a year ago leading to fewer turnovers. By the way, below 12 is our goal. Last night we had only four in second half and OT. Winning basketball there.

OK...y'all covered just about everything about this game and our season so far except for our other big man from NY. I was hoping to see more from him this year, but so far he hasn't made much of an impact.

Against Tech we had 8 first half and 5 second half turnovers.
I’m realistic knowing there’s always bumps in the road during a basketball season. But these guys respond well. Maturity is priceless.

Isaiah did not do much last night but he did have a key play against ETSU in the Asheville Tournament finals. Forced a misfire on defense late in the game.
