Re: Princeton Game
Why is Bryant starting the second half? And can he stop shooting please? I'm just waiting for Haws to take off.

Re: Princeton Game
Well we pulled it out.
Mika dominated this game on the boards and he went 11-12 from the FT line. He was our best player.
Haws is just a different level with his offensive skill level. His defense needs work but man he has pretty complete offensive game.
Emery is still a better version of himself when compared to last year. He is smarter about when to drive the ball. He missed all of his crazy 3's this game. Maybe next year he will learn to knock those shots off.
Rose seem to hesitate to take shots but he seems to have fairly good offensive game. I hope he looks to drive more next game. He also took the toughest defensive assignment.
Davis did a few things right tonight and mostly fouled a lot. He looked a lot better at Center when Mika was out.
Bryant had a few nice drives and offensive moves but doesn't seem to know how to fit into an offense. Defensively his size and strength really help as he can easily switch to guard almost every position.
Because of Davis' foul trouble Childs got a lot of minute. His mobility on D helped a lot but he had some bad rotations. On offensive he knows to be a garbage man. I hope with some more game experience he will look even better.
Beo had a brief cameo in the 1st half and didn't do a lot.
And that was it- a seven man rotation.
We could have used 10 minutes from Kaufusi this game. His size and athletic ability would have helped us put the game away.

Re: Princeton Game
I mostly agree with qman's assessment. All in all the Cougar's looked great with a few rough patches here and there, but you'll see that in every game.
I'm excited for the year, I thought the Cougar's played to the level of talent on the team and won a nice matchup against a good team.

Re: Princeton Game
Here are the PER ratings from the game:
Obviously, Mika was a beast! The one thing I would like to see is more assists. Especially from Bryant and Rose.

Re: Princeton Game
Rose doesn't usually tighten the rotation this much this early. It shows how important this game was. Nice win. You'll see a lot more players get time in the next few games.

Re: Princeton Game
I agree. I am very pleased with what Rose did with the line up. We got through this game, and now we have a couple more games this week and can get some more players out there, but this game needed the tight rotation and the best players.BlueK wrote:Rose doesn't usually tighten the rotation this much this early.
