After the 27-14 start, we went 56-24 butt whooping before junk time at the end. I don't know what the money line was for Ohio when we were down 13, but I would've mortgaged my house on it. It was a frustrating first 15 minutes but it was clear to me that it was just a matter of time. That team can't beat us over 40 minutes...I am disappointed we don't get them again.
Jaylin's shot still missing in action. Hopeful it shows up in Cleveland, but regardless he is doing a good job running the offense. At this point, I am not sure there is a pair of forwards in the conference I take over CLayton & Hadaway. Hadaway took 8 three pointers because they were there for the taking...it was crazy how much they left him open. He had a few decent looks that he passed up and mostly only hoisted when the look was good. I love that mentality.
Reef is still a little turnover prone with some of the passes he makes, but he is scoring great right now. On the other end of the spectrum, I would love to see a stat of shots blocked on offense because I think EJ may be at the top. He just gets eaten alive in the paint.
Sheldon had 5 steals in limited action, and his ball handling in traffic continues to impress me. He makes the prospect of Miles missing time more bearable to consider. But hopefully Miles is good to go...I thought his shot was really coming around at the right time and we know the value he provides defensively.
We have as much of a chance as anyone. That said I don't love getting WMU round 1. They beat us early and have been playing fairly well of late.
