Glad I stayed to the end. We significantly raised our intensity and level of concentration the last minutes of the game and stopped making mindless, careless turnovers. Good defense and finally making the shots we needed allowed us to steal this victory. Team has a long way to go but the guys that should be playing the most minutes are beginning to become obvious.

The guy bobbled it and Manuel took it, then still had to contend with one guy to make the layup. I would not call that play all luck, and regardless they were not going to be able to just dribble out the clock so would have had a chance with a stop anyway.

I was glad to have Manuel there to steal the ball then complete the layup, j-frog does not make that play.

Patsevich sucks ( missing 2 wide open 3 looks) and horrible passing especially from Frog. I'm fine with looking at different combos but by Dec. 1 Doherty needs to tighten it and then adjust when Williams and Smith are ready.

Patsevich needs to get buried on that bench and I'm not so sure Frog shouldn't join him.


I completely agree w/you. Losh did hit a nice 3 in the comeback, but for the most part, time to get this rotation fleshed out. Frog is a back-up PG. He just doesn't go at the basket enough. He sets the O on the perimeter, but seldom gets guys on his hip. He just doesn't create numbers. Manuel could be a monster off the high pick, if groomed now.

Manuel, Giles, Nyuk, Vilde, Jalen, cannen, smith, Williams. Losh/Frog/Clink/Norman situationally. Let's look the part and put our best athletes in a position to get big experience now.

Exactly. Jfrog doesn't have the length to capitalize on the bobble. Even IF he took it, it's just a different sort of finish at 5'8. None of that is to dismiss what Frog can do for this club, but Manuel has a really high ceiling by comparison.

Frog is the perfect backup PG to come in and energize the team...but I agree it's time to turn it over to the young studs

So we are all blowing ourselves over a win against a school no one has ever heard of?

Frog got hurt, Manuel came in & penetrated off the high pick. He made the defense move which gave big Shot Rob & Cotton some space. Jalen played w/heart and cleaned up around the glass, slashed for buckets, and worked put backs.

Down one, Manuel stole the ball w/22 or 23 seconds left and went in for the lay-up to give us the lead/win. He got that steal b/c of his length


Thanks as we had no idea how this happened.......the guys are getting their roles....

Nobody is blowing anyone. I wanted to blow my head off w/about 10 to play. Good comeback in a game we needed. a long ways to go to be considered good, but our young talent is impressive. When you consider Manuel, Smith, Vilde, Cunningham, Jones, Norman are all frosh by eligibility, we're going to get a lot better.
