Just back from game. Couple thoughts (I’m sure others have said same)
1. Despite the loss, really encouraged by the scrappiness of this team. Lost in the final minute despite being on the road, missing three key players, and giving significant minutes to freshmen (I think we had 2-3 freshmen on n the court for a large portion of the game). This team is going to be very dangerous when healthy again.
2. I didn’t have a good view of fouls, but did have a good view of our team. I’ve rarely seen them so clearly frustrated with the refs and foul calls. Something was different today. And CMY was really angry when that horn sounded during our free throw.
3. Neo is clearly not 100% physically. He didn’t have his normal movement on offense and you could tell it was affecting his mental game. I wish we were healthier and able to rest him for a week.
4. Did Wake get new led lights? It felt darker in there from when I went to a game a year or two ago. I’m sure it looked fine on tv, but man that upper deck area was dark. Maybe I just need new eyes.
