1. The best thing one can say about this game is that it’s better than losing. That, and that it ended 20 minutes earlier than usual…
2. Good defense in the first half, but we settled for easy shots rather than work hard for the better score. Only PJ, Josh and sometimes Isaiah did.
3. It was the Kasey Wilson show tonight, scoring on an early 3, and 5 (FIVE!) dunks. Had a blocked shot, too. He’s really becoming a reliable contributor.
4. Coming out of halftime the team executed the offense much more crisply. Marcus was the chief beneficiary, scoring four additional 3’s after 1 in the 1st half.
5. #2 for the PBA Fightin’ Sailfish was a pretty good PG. Feisty (without being obnoxious), and their leading scorer.
6. Not a bad crowd, but 3rd smallest of the year. And the opponents didn’t lend themselves to a frenzied crowd, either.
7. So we’re up by 28 with 6min to go, Donnie understandably empties the bench. 3 minutes later we’re up by 12. Donnie un-empties the bench…
8. Halftimes during the lamentable Chuck Machock, Phil Carter and Joe Dean eras were marked by adolescent lads grabbing basketballs from the rack and showing off their “skills.” The last 3 game halftimes have featured pre-pubescent cheerleader and dance team wannabees.
9. AJ gets 2 quick fouls in the first half. He gets a foul and a T quickly in the 2nd. Non-factor in the game.
10. Celebrities: a very gracious fan pic and autograph signing Bruce Miller, Darius Nall, Share’ed Rhashad (spelling apologies), and former UCF recruit and UF signee Dillon Graham
11. Four behind the back passes tonight - only one doesn’t result in a TO.
12. To those who questioned why we scheduled this game, I submit that it was that the PBA coaching staff wooed Boone High School 2G Matt Roy with the promise that he’d be able to play in front of his family during his career (/extreme sarcasm). He scored 11 points and had a T.
13. Don’t want to look past a very tough SMU game on Saturday, but our next home game is Marshall. The announced theme for the game is “Beach Party!!”, highlighting the Herd’s whining about The Arena’s oppressive temperature last year. Beach Party. Knight Moves. Mind Boggles.
