None of these centers can guard Page on the drive. Keep it up. They’ll help off other players and he should be ready to pass. But in the meantime go right to the rim every time.

Page needs to stay aggressive on O. He has skills and will at least get to the line. Glad to see Green in earlier. I think he can score.

Cats looking better right now. Getting rebounds. Seems to me we have more players that can score or make plays based on early observations. If we keep rebounding well I like where this is going.

I really liked Singleton’s minutes at the 5 there instead of Kropp. It seemed our rebounding got slightly better with him, Nick and Angelo on the front line.

The bad:
-Looked sloppy, especially on offense
-Page in foul trouble
-Trailed most of the half
-OK ST looked like the best team on the court

The good:
-Still scored 40
-Somehow up by 1

Let’s get this W. I feel, top to bottom, we are more skilled than them.

My Pet Peeve:

I don’t think anyone cares about this but me. But, it is my hill to die on. For the first 9 fouls of the half, the chyron counts the fouls. At 6 and beyond, it even says something about Bonus. There is room on the screen for both the foul count and the Bonus situation.

When a team gets to 9 fouls, you get “Bonus +” plus the foul count. But, upon the 10th foul, the foul count goes away. I know what “Bonus +” means. But, there is a meaningful difference in apparent foul trouble between 10 fouls and 13 fouls. I want to know that distinction. And, there is NO reason to remove it.

I’ll shut up now. But, it makes me more angry than most things in life.

Go ‘Cats!

I’m already sick of saying this, but here we go again; another game where our squad would be bodying them if we were a middling rebounding team. Instead, we built a hole right off the bat with second chance points. This squad is so damn good at a lot of the rest, we get so many freebie easy buckets in transition

Great slow rally.

We’re shooting like garbage but somehow have the lead at the half. 12-27 fg 44%, and only 2-12 three pointers. Rebounding is also poor, giving them too many second chances. Hopefully in the second half we’ll return to the mean in our shooting, and stay out of foul trouble. Nick leading the way with 11, and needs to keep that up.

This crew is terrible. How do we keep getting high knees? We had him in WV too. He’s just a terrible official.
