I don’t know what is going on with this UNI team. It’s like we’re trying to apply Art of War by Gen. Custer to basketball. Hmmm… what if we just don’t guard the 3 point line? Think that will work?
Bowen seems to have had a good game (27 pts, +13 BPM). But. He had 1 assist. 1. In 34 minutes of play. Some of his scores were really impressive. Laid it up against 1 good defenders twice and +1. But he needs to use those drives to draw double teams and throw it to an open shooter.
We shot 1-abillion from 3. Because our shooters didn’t get open shots.
We’re worse than last year.
You can't leave Swope. You can't leave Avila. You can't leave Larry. You take your chances with Kent and, to his credit, he knocked down shots. The plan was right and it was executed well, they just hit shots.
If we hit open shots, it's a game decided in the last few possessions. That's basketball.
Despite all the angst every game it is a make or miss sport in the end.
And credit to Jayson Kent. I know he made some threes yesterday but it took him until his 4th season to understand who he is as a player. He wanted to be Steph Curry at Bradley and early at INST. Dude didn't even play in three STL games last year. Now he's a big time contributor.
