. . . and no one really wants an answer, but after re-watching the game and seeing us shredded inside on defense only to then flip a switch to become a wall inside on defense, I went to the play by play.
I invite you to watch the film and then recheck my stats and math, or vice versa - I'm no more perfect than the rest of y'all and I invite corrections.

Ogbeide is going to be a great player, of that I have absolutely no doubt!
I did not track Edwards because he is often not part of the issue raised, but I thought he continued to play well - he competes extremely hard, is learning quickly and plays with an amazing amount of confidence. Kessler continues to shut out the noise and focus on increasing his contributions by doing well the things he can do well - play defense, make space in the paint, take are of the ball, and be as ready as his ability allows him when his 2 or 3 opportunities to score arise (a whole lot like his dad, which is something to be proud of.) It's a unique group of varying talent sand with Maten, this is a bunch of guys we can really be proud of
BTW, just an aside, the bench was 5 of 6 and 1/1 on the night. In a game against a good rebounding team like that that percentage is significant.
The turning point was clearly the "Mark Fox sucks" chant," so congratulations to our fans that attended.
My favorite player that I make excuses for about his evil drivers license issues was his usual incredible self down the stretch. I'm going to call him "Mr. Touchdown." . . " . . . give him the ball and just look at him go . . "
