further observations
Stats are odd- seem to support us winning easily.....50% shooting, sizable rebounds and assists edge. But foul shooting, some turnovers, and good USC shooting after the first few minutes helped equalize.
USC was braindead . CMY will take a 2 on 2 game with Neo every possession, and twice on Sunday. Yet no real adjustments and AH just ate them up. Thank you very much.
Schutt isnt getting near enough credit for how consistent and solid he has been all season- on both sides of the ball.
The rotation of Dorn and Gordak seems to work, they have different skill sets. Gordak has shown some explosive post moves for a true freshman and has very active hands. He may ultimately develop skills to play some at the 4.
The real difference last night was from the tip our guys felt the urgency- and as such we won most of the 50/50 balls.
