As Tony says, I’d have to look at the film to be sure. But I thought our perimeter defense was pretty good, actually. Kihei on Lofton was particularly effective. That’s why Lofton kept pushing him off – he was getting pissed. I think what hurt us was the hedging on screens, especially with Caffaro – lots of indecision about how much to hedge and when to recover, and that gave the St. Bonny guards an opening to get into the paint. I think that’s what happened on the final play.
The last two three-pointers St. Bonny hit were absolute prayers against good contests.
Think you are right. I rewatched some condensed shit so am sure it was more highlights but their very good guards seemed to get where they wanted a lot
Thomas had 15 points against Michigan in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Hit five 3 pointers against the wolverines, and shot 41% from 3 for the season.
Colorado State’s Dischon Thomas just entered the transfer portal.
Ironically Kyle actually did blow by several people and was able to make layups, get some rebounds, and make a few floaters that I thought would get swatted. He was just a GAMER all around, and still is.
My contribution on names in the Portal: Dain Dainja. Far and away the best name. I think he’s already committed, but that White Spot NIL money (NIL burger) might lure him.
Also, is his middle name Danger? Dain Danger Dainja
This website is interesting. More effort in terms of ranking available transfers than I’ve seen most places. Just reposting here again as we’re getting more names dropping in:
I said this earlier, but 60% from 2 is very very exciting, especially as a wing player. And just that 39% of his shots were in the “Close 2” category on Bart Torvik’s website is positive to me; I think there’s value in a perimeter player that can provide real rim pressure.
