Highlights from Ole Miss

Good solid win. We cut the turnovers in half in the 2nd half. DD had a good offensive game in limited minutes. Trey had a great game with 9 rebounds and 9 points. On to Houston. I like the moxie of this team!

Ole Miss had pretty good rankings before the gsme
Massey 49
Pomeroy 53

Win should help us. Ok. State and Mizzou wins should help too.

Big W! Take any W we can get and I hope there are many more to come.

Side note: I wonder how many times we get burned going man to man when the other team is doing an in-bounds play underneath their basket. Seems like we give up a lot of points/easy baskets is that situation.

In a long ago time and place, as an estwhile mostly unsuccessful hoops coach, the BEST advice I ever got a coaches clinic was from Ken Cochran , formerly of Marymount..... “ NEVER MAN TO MAN OUT OF BOUNDS PLAYS UNDER THE HOOP!!!! If they shoot outside , so be it... nothing in the lane!!!”
And I quote....

Wichita State isn't seen as an NCAA Tournament team. The transfers and the coaching change caused most to lower expectations for the Shockers. That is not what the Shockers are used to and they think Saturday's win can grab attention. The Shockers, over the past 10 seasons, won a lot of games because of great guard play. Most nights, the best guard in the game wore their colors - stars such as Baker, VanVleet and Shamet. On Saturday, Etienne gave a performance that matches those names.

Umm, this team should have pounded Ole Miss. WSU didn’t play smart going down the stretch. They are just better ball players. Not impressed.

Dumb. We were getting 7.5 points. It was on the road. Is there room for improvement? Always.

Whatttt? Ole Miss is one of the better defensive teams in the country. This was a good win for us.

Win on the road is great.

But I wish WSU would take care of the ball better. Ole Miss scored 31 points on WSU turnovers.

I also wish they would rebound the ball, Ole MIss had 20 second chance points. Udeze 0 rebounds in 22 minutes.

DD looked better except for the foul trouble. Tyson is the man. Trey Wade also looked good.

On to Houston with a chance to make a statement.
