Really enjoyed the up close and persnal view

Especially our defense in the 1st half.
Shack is a MAN.period.dot.
Z was having a bit od difficulty with a bigger guard but caused disruption at times
Chaz is a better defender than most realize, he has really improved (much more than DK did)
Cade is pretty good
Felix has potential but is nowhere near that potential at the moment
Gainey has improved
Igor is our weak link
D-Stone is hot and cold - looks bad and then stones his guy (better than his rep on VQ IMO)
Boswell ain't there yet but does hustle
Bigs who can shoot 3s are kryptonite to us (see #32 last night)

On offense
The sheer physicality of screens, for Chaz especially, is eye watering
Chaz can eleivate and release as fast as I've seen anyone do it
He hit two straight mid range jumpers on the right side (most of our sets are to fee up Chaz on the right side) off of pin downs and curls that were flat impressive
Chaz was much more aggressive in moving last night
Felix is great at setting screens down low, as is Shack
Igor needs to be more aggressive with his shooting (and defense) IMO, Wofford wasn't respecting him at all
Gainey kept getting lost in the wash last night, really wasn't aggresive off of screens
In the 2nd half we went to Felex on the sscreen and drop and were very evvective
Once we got 4 fouls on their two bigs we went away from it
Chaz missed 2 VERY long 3s at then end of the shot clock because lost situational awareness - think Gainey did once as well
We need to give Z a break around a TV TO in the 2nd half as he was getting fatigued (say 1-2 min of game time plus the 2 minute TV TO to give hime just a short blow(
