I was reminded why I haven't watched a game since early in the season. I'm glad Mann hit that clutch shot. However, his lack of effort on defense pisses me off.

Great win! Shortened rotation a huge plus and great adjustment. Mann 44 minutes and Castleton 43 minutes as it should be. Ride those 2 dogs....they are the best we have.

Out shot them....and murdered them on the boards. Scotty contributed 15 points. Gave up 5 real quick 3’s and went down 21-11. 64-49 the rest of the way as they only hit 2 more 3’s the rest of the game.

Too many TO’s as always. 9 missed free throws hurt. Two things Locke should never do: (1) dribble the ball (2) be the inbound passer.

Never doubted boys!!!

Lol that game took 10 years off my life. Major props to Lewis, I’ve been rough on him but overall he was pretty good. Just needs to stay within himself and not play hero ball.

He played his best game in awhile. I’ve been tough on him as well but despite the 4 turnovers he did seem to be much more in control today.

I was traveling so didn't see the game, but how could you post obvious nonsense like us out rebounding them?⁶

White, teach them:
1) how to inbound the ball
2) Duruji how to hit FTs (he shoots 43.8% on FTs)
3) make sure Appleby is 100%
4) to be aware to come help when your ball-handling teammate gets trapped
5) always quick-check to see if Castleton is open on the give & go that Castleton just gave you
6) give Payne a 2nd chance >> don't make him just watch these playoffs >> don't open a can of pout-azz on him
7) actually, I'd like to see Gator defense hands flicking wildly to annoy
8) keep Lewis playing loose

(2) Durugi shoots too flat and too hard. He needs lift and touch. He needs to take thousands (literally) of shots to correct.

(4) I always taught come forward-cut away aggressively-someone then slide middle. Quick ball reversals and you are out of trap and pressure. I didn’t want anyone bringing more defenders to the trap.

(6) I predict Payne will play one of his best games after sitting this one out. Clearly he saw the passion, fire and intensity that Castleton brought.

(8) Someone earlier nailed it....Lewis needs to play within himself and under control. For that matter....so does Appleby.

Duruji's no arch FT easily correctable. Use PVC pipe to put "adjustable height" garden rake halfway between foul line and basket. He'll be forced to arch it. **** there's always Canyon Berry to promote & teach the "granny" foul shooting.
