Quite frankly, Bureau dominated when he wanted to. He was the only guy along with Farrington who had sustained success throughout the game and gave consistent effort and Marlin mentioned that in the post game interview. He was a mismatch everywhere he played, especially the 4 spot and his athleticism put him over everybody else. He is going to be our X factor this year for sure. I would have liked to see us try to keep up the pace we started the game with in pressing and trapping as we turned them over a lot and got easy transition baskets early. What was more impressive was that they jumped out on LC but never allowed them to make it a true game. We kept them at a distance and put the game away for good with about 5 minutes to go. it was nice to see.
I really like the shooting ability of Perez. The kid can outright choot'em!
Free Throw shooting is a concern. Overall..nice win.
Note Farrington was 3 of 10 at the line. He was the main guy responsible for the shortcoming there although he played well otherwise. He kept leaving his free throws short and was getting frustrated with his lack of success there. I bet he keeps working on this and improves as the year progresses.
