uneblinstu's postgame chatter: vol 12; ed 2 - Southern Utah

Well, this season sure hadn't gotten off to the start we'd all hoped for.

• This team has the talent to win some games. I firmly believe that, but they're gonna need some success soon or it is gonna unravel on them in a hurry. A roster where everyone is new to each other sometimes doesn't have much holding them together. They need to see themselves be able to face adversity and have some success doing it. Tonight was almost it.
• That Green 3 at the end of regulation was pretty cool.
• We left so many points at the line down the stretch...
• We got our first glimpse of the flopping technical foul. I believe Thor got the game warning somewhere in the first half. And what a spot for SUU to get called for it.
• I like Kevin Cross in the paint. I think he does a good job of finishing at the rim. I don't like him around the perimeter.
• The defense was a lot better today. It got out of sorts a bit down the stretch, though, but I though early and throughout much of the first half it was pretty good.
• I thought SUU had some pretty good players on their roster. 
• The crowd was pretty engaged today. I was expecting a pretty sleepy arena. We had a whole bunch of kids around us who either don't go to many games of they've ever been to a game, but they were totally into it.
• I was surprised Yvan didn't get into the game down the stretch. Did he play at all in the second half? 
• Would have liked to see more of Curtis, too. 
• This team might not win many games this year. Probably good to start accepting that. But I hope we see them improve game to game. I do think we saw that from Tuesday to today. Shame we didn't see them pick up a win or two this week.
• Kavas is gonna have to start hitting some shots or he's not gonna see the floor much...
• I thought we saw flashes of what we've hard about both Green and Mack being today.

That's all I got at the moment...
