Manuel looked great as did Cannen and Jalen.

Interesting manuels burn came not at the expense of frog but cotton.

Cotton was at 1 frog at 2 briefly when cotton turned it over and sat the rest of the way.

Manuel at 2 ..or anywhere..works for me. Steal and coast to coast for dunk was great.

For this game I had no problem w Giles sitting. He was not good IMO especially handling the ball. Very lazy.

I don't really understand only giving Smith 8 minutes, seems strange. Giles had his minutes cut way back too. Great floor game by Losh. He's a very good passer

Manuel 7 of 8 at FT line I think. I agreed w Smith. We could have used him inside in the second half.

Yea, Cotton's had a rough two games, hopefully he'll bounce back. We have very good freshman. We haven't this type of class, including Smith & Vilde in ever

Manuel had his first good game from the line too. My count was 9 of 10 but was sub-500 coming into today.

Very nice "team" effort today. Offense tends to really slow down when JFrog is running things. This team needs to be able to push it up the court and hopefully at some point, we will have an alley-oop dunk or two.
