The score doesn't indicate how bad that game was. Hopefully it's more of an outlier as it seems some players took an early Thanksgiving break

this 18-point win against a feisty team was like running a 4:20 mile with this morning's breakfast running down your legs the whole way.

Kind of feels a bit like the Radford game last year. An early season, uninspired game against a spirited opponent.
I looked at the schedule, Samford doesn't play many guarantee-type games like this which some other low majors do much more heavily, so this was a rare chance for their guys to test themselves against a power conference team.

Luther Muhammad is a man on defense. Sharkey's going to be a bruised man in the morning.

yeah, he's leaps better than almost all freshmen defenders. the tenacity is contagious. now just imagine how much better muhammad will be when he learns how to play defense with his feet. time for the video team to cull some aaron craft highlight packages.

Hopefully they got that shit out of their systems. That was bringing back bad memories.
Kaleb Kong was a beast tonight. They had no answer. Key and Luther were the glue all night and just battled. Young can't shoot to save his life but he's really embraced the hard-nosed mantra.
Let's get the "youngness" out of their systems by Syracuse and really start buckling down please.

Listening to Coach Holt on the postgame radio, I believe he said Samford had not played the halfcourt zone they did today to this point in the season, and that the zone press they had done previously was about 20% of the time, as opposed to 100% zone all game. Just sounded like they were not expecting what they ended up facing and it affected their preparation and performance.

I didn't see the game because I kind of refuse to pay for BTN Plus on principle but just looking at the box score and it's clear that it was a tale of two halves.
Not much to like about the first half other than the disciplinary action by Holtmann to not start the players who were late for warm-ups.
Second half we apparently played much better on both ends of the court. Woods continues to be a steadying and inspiring contributor in these tough games, he's been quiet in some games with the the scoring but he is doing a lot of things for us, he is facilitating, and we would have lost the Creighton game and maybe even this one without him.
Another rough shooting night for CJ but for those of you ripping on him--that 6'1 and not especially athletic dude had 9 rebounds. NINE. That and the out-of-bounds play showed the effort he was still giving out there despite his struggles. He, Woods, and Kaleb had half our rebounds. Woods and Kaleb had half our points.
Andre and Kyle continued their tandem duo of total okayness at the forward spots, 7 and 5, 6 and 5, and some defense. Andre continues to turn it over too much for a guy we are not asking to handle the ball much or make plays.
Definitely a bit of a reality check for our frosh. I can't comment as to why Ledee only played 2 minutes but I am guessing defensive reasons or maybe just the fact that Kaleb was our best player tonight? Very bad shooting night for Washington. Fairly quiet night for Luther in the box score for playing 35 minutes.
And looks like Jallow was basically a non-factor in his 7 minutes.
