Was at the game yesterday and had a blast. Really nice to see us bounce back when going down in the 2nd half against a good team. You could sense a little tension in the crowd once Arizona made their early run to take the lead, but we were able to find some baskets when we really needed them. A few takeaways from me:
Free throw shooting is still concerning and almost cost us
Reese was great- need him to play at that high a level consistently
Herbert Jones is in a funk in the worst way. He looks lost out there at times and his shooting is atrocious. Get the hair back and maybe the swag and confidence will return? Feels like Samson in a way.
CAJ found a nice mix of lineups on the floor that gave us a spark
Petty, while struggling with his shot is still a factor with his rebounding and playing much better defense. Really good to see him excited for the team and others when he isn't having his best day.
Dazon is still a head scratcher. My brother and I were talking on the way home while listening to post game and honestly hadn't realized he didn't come back in the 2nd half
RTR- can't wait for the game in HSV next Tuesday. Great to get the win prior to the long break.
