Hello. Just some random thoughts before tonight's game. Feel free to scroll on by if you're looking for insight. Won't Find it here.
Anyway Mack in the huddle last night: he wanted the team to do two things work it inside and slow down. First play ball into OMara and he scores. We then went on a little run earmarked by patience. Mack got what he asked for. I was in texting mode with a board member and I said I thought Mack thought he was coaching last years team. Letting the team work themselves out of a jam. His timeout was effective but two possessions too late in my view. This team needs more frequent coaching intervention and I hope that happens. We have a great coach. He needs to coach them in-game more.
Tre Bluiett - absolute stud. That young man wanted it last night and he delivered. Missed a couple of free throws and then played a near perfect close out. What a player. Malcolm Bernard. Happy for this young man. He is having one hell of a run and I hope he keeps it up. Thanks to the poster who reminded us of his interview of two weeks ago. He does well and calls his teammates and himself out with analytical calmness. Good representative of the University
Coach Travis. I don't know a lot about him but every time I hear him speak I vacillate between thinking this guy really knows what he's talking about or this guy is trying to sell me a used car. Mild performance art. Seriously though he seems to channel Coach Mack in a good way.
Coach Pegues. He's done a hell of a job with Tyrique, Rashid and Sean. Each player a different challenge - the frosh, the 5th year vet and Sean. Would love to see Sean pull it all together but he has come on leaps and bounds. Thanks Coach.
JP. When that kid stole the ball from JP in the backcourt I was astounded. The kid fell into the crowd and sneaked up on JP. Hey Macura where did you think he was? You saw him fall into the crowd. There are five players on each team. A little snapshot of his somewhat recent manual lapses. But when you think about how much responsibility he has been given recently it's understandable that he will make a few mental errors. He is an absolute baller and one thing about him - he never hides. Give me the ball. So glad to have him.
There used to be a poster on here who, on the cusp of a big game, would rally the troops with a call to arms worthy of General Patton or John Blutarsky. That man is needed now. Will he step up and ready the horses? Time (is running out) will tell.
Mack last night " I love my team".
Go X.
