Did You Catch 22?

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Nicely done, Juan.

As for 10 ... I do think Shaka outcoached McDermott, but I do wish it didn't take halftime for our guys to come to grips with, "Hey, that guy is hitting a shyte-ton of 3s ... let's not leave him open." It's happened a little too often this season.

Scheierman made three 3s in the first 5:05.  He made only one 3 in the rest of the half.

Then he made two quick 3s coming out of halftime and a layup all in the first 5:06 of the 2nd half.  Limited to one 3 the rest of the game.

So he basically had two hot stretches in the first 5 minutes and change of each half.  Those stretches accounted for 17 of his 23 points.

Just looked at the box score and was shocked to see that both Alexander and Scheierman played all 40 min.  That is a short bench😳

Kalkbrenner looked tired after the first 5 minutes of game.  He was struggling getting up and down the floor.

I had to look it up, but Oso gets credited for the rebound on those tap backs. I didn't think he had anywhere near 16, but he probably had half-a-dozen tap backs.

"An individual rebound is credited each time a player retrieves a live ball or purposely taps a live ball to a teammate immediately following a missed field goal attempt or a missed free throw attempt."

Yesterday felt different. When Oso first started the tap back, it felt like just getting it out of traffic and hoping we had bodies on the perimeter to corral it.

Yesterday you could see him targeting where the taps went. I really think the awareness and vision he's developed in becoming the best passing big in the country helped in that regard. Now he knows where the tap back will go, who will get it, and how much force to put on it. It's a really impressive development.

Pretty pathetic how bad Kalkbrenner was on the glass. Testament to Oso.

1000% agree - valuable skill at the next level too.

With your experience as a Physical Therapist, you may have picked up on something many of us missed. Like Kalk, I contracted mono, although in my case it was late in life. The virus remains in your body and can come back to visit in a milder version (although this is not common according to the Mayo and Cleveland clinics' sites) and cause fatigue disproportionate to your physical activity. Admittedly, this is a self-diagnosis-no blood test or physician diagnosis involved-but I had a bout of major fatigue for days that came on suddenly and my guess is that it was the mono stopping in to say "hello, I'm still here."

Not one of those 3 pt misses was forced.   All were shots Shaka wants them to take.

That's fair, Juan. On maybe 2-3 of those, our defender lost touch with Scheierman, and that was frustrating, but you're right that for most of the game we did a good job on him. Our D was pretty darn good overall most of the day.
