That’s not fair. He does turn it over with semi-regularity.

LMFAO, I stand corrected. I doubt he is the 3rd string point forward. I suppose after Twin B we would play Li’l Corch, then after that, MG would just lie down on the court and weep.
I took a few positives from this. Cody is growing in the PG sub role _ no he will never be a PG but maybe he can be adequate. Rowan showed better defensive positioning and was GFK today. Freeman looks more in shape.
As to issues focus seems to be an issue. Abu was better but still at times lost and the same for Anya. Cat limping off at the end is potentially trouble.
I wasn’t quite watching this with my normal critical eye, so I’ll have to watch it again to make some notes about defense. A few thoughts though:
– So, that stretch without Cat in the first half. On the one hand, they didn’t make up any ground in 11 minutes without our only point guard. That’s way better than we have been doing without Cat. On the other hand, man we looked sloppy in that stretch. The Martins (Cody in particular) have pretty good floor vision, but their passes aren’t very sharp. There were several plays in that stretch that should’ve ended in open layups, but because the passes were weak or off-target, they ended up being turnovers or tougher shots than necessary.
– Nice bounceback games from Abu and Rowan, particularly Maverick. He was showing off all the offensive potential that makes him an exciting prospect. That little two dribble pull-up on the baseline is so deadly.
– I loved the balanced scoring effort and the strong team-wide free throw shooting. We won the Winthrop game because Cat just put us on his back against a lesser opponent. This game we won with a much better team offensive effort, with better spacing and ball movement.Didn’t watch today. Did we press or trap or do anything to speed up tempo or were both defenses just really bad?
We trapped a little in the second half, but the game was played at our normal speed. We average 70 possessions a game, and we had 71 this game. Both defenses were just poor. We got cut to pieces by their two shooters.
Cat got his 3rd foul 9 minutes in, which meant he sat the rest of the half and basically couldn’t defend thereafter. The rest of the team might as well be Quakers (other than KH, who was his usual self, fouled out with zero points).
