Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2014 12:49 amWhy did they take away his double-double. They put 10 rebounds on the board after he hit the floor to get a loose ball off the rim but got tied up. He had possession though

Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2014 10:25 amSomeone cautioned in another thread not to take too much from this given that it's Lamar, and they are right but there were some things Ben Moore was doing last night that just seemed like they would translate no matter who we play. So much sound decision making, so much touch around the basket. Granted we won't face a lot of small teams like we did last night, so will have to work a lot harder for boards.
Watching the guys occasionally run a high low post offense last night, it just seemed like there was so much potential in that set given the high basketball IQ and passing skills (not to mention jumpers) of our big guys.

Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2014 11:34 amHe is nuts. Larry has the perfect place for him now. High post top of the key. I am not sure I have seen a 6'9 forward dribble penetrate and dish like him. He also had 5 assists. Nuts
