Chicago St thoughts

[Herman Cain]

When JJJ gets a reasonable run he delivers.  We are going to need the skills he brings to the table  in conference play.

Hope that they go 4-31 like against Oklahoma?

The game made me worried about how we are going to play defense against Villanova? Villanova likes to shoot a lot of threes.

I'm not too worried--seems to be the way to actually play Nova this year: just let them chuck it up.  They are shooting .310 from 3.

We played ok. Gave up 74 to CS.   I think the BEast will be tougher
Perimeter defense, tho they made some great shots, was not there.  they drive multilethey times past several of our guys for lay ups.  Some lazy rebounding at times.  Nonetheless, we run up 91 points.   

Some nice moments - Wallys  put back stuff, Hrnrys 12 footers and more.

Would you say he needs at least 25 minutes?

Henry missed way too many 3-5 foot shots

Villanova shooting that bad was probably help by Oklahoma defense.
In last years three meetings, our three point defense got progressively worse as Villanova made:
11-26
11-21
17-29

I think I agree with Tower, here. I thought Traci had a rough game - but weren't all of his turnovers in the front court? I know at least two of them were.

He had two that I know of in the back court, one was assigned to the team (10 second call)...he passed it to JJ way to late who isn't use to breaking a press.  I put that on Traci.  The other was a very bad bounce pass to Henry (I think) that was intercepted. 

Duane's were mostly in the front court also.  I think he had a bad bounce pass and a traveling call in the backcourt, but the other two were in the front court. 

I say Duane played better, because on a couple occasions he attacked the press and it led to scores.  I didn't see Traci really do that.  Neither were great, but I thought Duane handled it a bit better this game.
