I think Losh has played more minutes tonight than normal. Maybe this was his "chance" to show himself or find the bench.

Isn't this what the Jack St score should have looked like? Regardless, excellent win tonight!!

BTW SMU was favored by 1.5 points by the Vegas odds-makers....I think Jess said SEMO was favored.

Good win boys.

Nice bounceback...

You can just see with the athleticism that the princeton stifles them. I'm fine with the dribble penetration and then the kickout. It can work if you the people to do it.

But when Losh and Frog are in there, it just looks like everything slows to a crawl.

Nice bounceback for the Ponies. Kind of how I was expecting them to play against Jackson St.

All the difference in the world is having Leslee Smith for 24 minutes. Kid had 6 pts, but was close on all his 3's, and grabbed 12 boards. Seemed like more

Wow, that was really nice to see. The offense really looked fluid the entire night.

Aggressive guard play from the beginning. The aggressiveness kept the energy up, and it transferred over to the defensive end, where we had a ton of steals.

Really active play from the bigs tonight as well.

Nyakundi, Giles, Smith were the best players out there tonight.

Frog I think was next on the list. He really ran the offense with pace. Doesn't look to shoot enough, but I thought he was aggressive and dictated the quick ball movement tempo on offense.

This was a team playing to win, not afraid to lose. I thought they did a good job of playing fast, but taking smart shots, which is great to see.

Jones is a little raw and wild, but you can see the potential.

Vilde is now totally out of the rotation.

You can see the three rotations they have going:

2 Guard spots: Frog, Giles, Manual (Clink a distant forth)

2 guard/forward spots: Nyakundi, Pats, Jones,

Big man spot: Williams, Smith, Cunningham (Vilde a distant fourth)

Smith and Cunningham are going to pick up a ton of fouls, so you have to have three guys at that spot. Vilde will have to outplay Pats in order for Williams to move to one of the forward slots. Honestly, I just don't see that happening.

So, I think that Jones has to play Pats out of the starting role, and I think he isn't quite in control of himself yet to do that. You can see the athleticism but he doesn't mess around with any offensive sets.

I think Manual will push Frog by the end of the year, but again, just not consistent enough... yet. If Frog pushes the pace like he did in the second half tonight, he should keep playing.

Couldn't pick up the feed while I was in the mountains but followed on game cast. Great win for the Mustangs! Glad that we finally had a blowout victory. Don't want to get behind early, but it was good how we fought out of it and then kept the momentum going.

Anyone know if Williams was a bit of a no show tonight, and Doh just went with Giles and Rob as the hot hands? I can't wait to see all the guys in person.
