Three points and five turnovers in almost 9 minutes. Mamadi should probably sit a bit.

Shouldn’t be surprised we didn’t keep a good lead against a decent, happens ever time

Did Kody die at halftine?

Huge spark from Braxton…again. I really think he’s the guy that needs to be the leader.

Kody is one rebound and a pair of missed FTs from a Titus.

3 fast breaks have spurred this comeback. When the offense can’t score off of sets then you have to look for other ways to score.

3 transition buckets in a row (Clark FT-line jumper, Key and-1, Key oop), maybe worth keeping this a little bit more of a focus? I might be imagining things, but it looks like Clark has hurried the ball up the floor a little more often than typical off Navy misses.

Edit: Ha, we all had the same idea!

Felt so good for Morsell to see him hit that last 3 while the anchors were talking about him.

Yea I noticed early on that Kehei was pushing the ball up the court. It was a pleasant surprise. Probably looking to find a early mismatch

Bennett’s post game

Bennett confirmed that they were trying to get into the offense quicker in his press conference, nice to see that this is a point of emphasis now.

This was an encouraging offensive performance, though it would be nice to see it paired with a more solid defensive performance. If they can get enough offense out of that closing Clark-Morsell-Key-Diakite-Huff lineup, that might be the way to go in crunch time from now on. Woldetensae had a nice offensive performance today, but he’s not nearly as resilient against dribble penetration as Morsell is, it was an issue especially in the first half against Navy.
