Love Miller, but he's been forcing too much this year. Three turnovers in the second half alone, against these guys. Needs to let the game come to him.

It almost appears at times that he wants to "join in on the fun" type thing. He's not starting like last year and his minutes are limited so he wants to get his when he is in there. I agree. He's been forcing it a bit.

Miller forced it a lot against McNeese but was one of our better players at Nicholls. He made some nice passes in that game and also had a couple last night. Agree he still has room for improvement in that regard.

SFA made a ton of layups against Tech tonight. I wonder if we had someone at that game scouting as they're next up?

I think the game last night was a bit of practice for the Tech game. Last year we KILLED them in transition and getting to the hoop. We attacked early in the shot clock and got layups all game. Last night, we really ran a very fast tempo, faster than previous games IMO and perhaps that was a prep game to run the offense they want to against Tech.

Also, in previous years, this game would have been a blowout on the scoreboard but I feel like we would have given up more points and held a slimmer lead at half. This team, like Mike said, controlled the turnovers and never allowed these guys to even make runs. It was nice to see us coast through a game and not deal with comebacks or closer than necessary scores.
