Who else really likes the Morrow kid right now?  Dude was a man out there tonight!

 

But really, great game by everyone tonight.  Jack made some youthful mistakes at the end but fortunately they didn't cost us the win.  He'll grow and learn from this.

 

Nice to see Gill get some mojo back.  I think we've only seen the beginning of what he'll bring to the team this year.

Any thoughts on this?

Jack messed up but why does Miles not have guy pick to free the ball handlers up.

[49r]

Really happy for the guys.  It's going to make scouting the UCLA game much more interesting.  Anyone else notice when they cut to Alford at the end of the game you could almost read his mind.  It was like, "Oh crap Dayton...come on and win this thing...we didn't prep for Nebraska AT ALL..."

Those were mistakes by Jack yes, but are those correctable mistakes? He is just weak with the ball. I know we want him out there to shoot free throws, but man we just cannot afford that.

Absolutely, yes.  Very teachable moment there.

I should have worded my question better. Those are very correctable, BUT don't we have better options? Wouldn't we rather see someone who is a little strong passer and stronger with the ball in there.

[49r]

Great, great top 40 type RPI win.

 

It may significantly reduce our chances of getting out of Anaheim with 2 wins, but I'll take it.  Dayton is a good team and Scoochie is LEGIT!

It's one of those situations where you have to pick either ball handler or free throw shooter.

The answer is yes, Tai Webster.  Unfortunately he was on the bench with 5 fouls.

Jack will be OK.   Just like Glynn was after a very poor game sunday night.  jack is strong-minded and will get over this quickly.

Exactly. If I remember correctly, Webster made some questionable inbounding plays a couple of years ago. People complained. Then they forgot. McVeigh will be alright.

I was thinking back to Tai's first season, and his difficulties especially when there were such high expectations.  I remember when it was a victory just for him to make a FT and he would look over at Miles.   Now he's the senior leader and  backbone of the team - What a (pleasant) difference! 

[khoock]

Sooooo... on to the real question here: what are our chance against UCLA?

 

I watched the first 25 minutes of their game against Portland and wasn't super impressed. High scoring offense but doesn't seem to be much emphasis on defense.

Anyone still questioning Miles player development need look not further than Tai.  Nuff Said

Depends on if we can score 80-85 again.

 

We shoot well?  sure, we got a shot.

 

They're going to put up some points. given that theyre young too they might be a little shocked that the other side is going to play a little defense though which could give us an edge.

 

Our sophomores have way more high end experience than most sophomores so we might even have an experience edge.

 

I wouldnt call an upset outright but I don't think I'd be completely shocked after last night.

I thought it was pretty funny. You would've thought we lost with what some of the idiots were posting last night on Huskeronline

This highlights my philosophy behind not highly regulating the passion in game threads.
