I didn't like that Raynaud was bringing up the ball tonight. I think the WF coach was doing backflips at not having Max in the paint and settling for early 3 pointers, which he missed often.
Thompson surprised me today on the good side. Young hasn't been the same since he got injured and missed a game. I love Batson's quickness. He blew past defenders easily. He needs to learn how to finish in the lane after beating his man. We missed too many 3 pointers. #6 drove for them to the paint at will in the first half and drew some 7 fouls in the first half.
A lot of people played today. The most glaring error from the bench was Stinson's errant turnover with less than a minute after getting the steal. We know Okpara is a vacuum... Throw him the ball and good luck getting it back. He will shoot it no matter how covered he is. At least today we saw efficient Okpara.
We need to practice Raynaud passing the ball when he gets double-teamed as it seems to be the formula teams are employing to slow him down. Still too many turnovers for us and allowing too many offensive rebounds. The hairless ref seemed to be calling 75%+ of the fouls on Stanford. Coach Smith really protested around 3 whistles.
I like the direction coach Smith is taking the team.
