3 games/3 days. Shooting got progressively worse but still came out with 2 wins. All in all I think the team will come back better for lessons learned.

You have to minimize turnovers, play great defense, go to the glass hard, and make your free throws. We only had 7 turnovers which is excellent for a 40 minute game. We held Tulane to a percentage in the 30's as well, only allowed 27 second half points and forced 15 turnovers. We outrebounded a much bigger team and we shot just under 80 percent from the line. Still, you can't expect to win many games the way we have shot the ball recently. We have to find someone who can consistently knock down some perimeter shots. I keep hoping that will be Russell but he has yet to find his stroke although he hit two crucial ones today. He did have an injury over the summer which required surgery so maybe he has not fully recovered there. Going forward, it would not surprise me if we started shooting the ball a little better. Sometimes when you prove to yourself you can win without shooting well a few more drop in. Finally, this is the first time in my life I recall beating Tulane in basketball. That makes it a good day regardless of how much we struggled shooting the ball. Props to the guys one more time for finding a way to pull out a gritty win.Quote:

In spite of my trepidation we actually had to reward him for last year with an extension.
We stole 2 games with sub par shooting. We lost one because of a perfect storm against us. Toledo shot lights out - 53% and 45.5%. We stunk it up at at 36% and 18%. Both of these scenarios normally don't happen in the same game. We shoot a little better OR they shoot average and we probably come out with a win against Toledo also.Quote:
