Hey so who was there and did you see us?

GangGreen · February 28, 2014

I was there with one of my daughters. We got there late because of the crappy traffic. Had a great time though. Been a longtime since I've been able to watch the team in person.

Any impressions from seeing them?

Our defense was solid the entire game. We were very hesitant on offense the first half and didn't attack the basket much at all. UTSA mainly ran a 3-2 zone in the first half and we just kept trying to shoot over the top of it.

In the second half, we began to penetrate their zone and it opened up a lot of opportunities. We are definitely a better team attacking the basket and running the open court. What was frustrating was watching us completely slow the pace down when the game hit about the 3:00 mark and go back to the style of play we stuck with in the first half. But, we hit FT down the stretch and it all worked out.

Chris Jones was great in the second half distributing the ball. Jordan Williams was all over the place and had the best all around game. As someone else posted in another thread, Alzee, Chris, and Jordan should be on the court for the bulk of the minutes.

I had the pleasure of sitting next to Alzee's dad. Super nice guy.

I really hope these guys are turning the corner and wish it wasn't happening so late in the season, because when they are running the floor they really look good and seem like they are having fun. The half court offense for us just doesn't work without a true inside presence.
