Rev's Postgame Analysis,
There is not a whole lot you infer after watching two mismatched teams. The best thing to happen was playing time for some of the reserves. How did they fare?
Kachelries showed that he needs more playing time. His point guard play was outstanding, and his three point shot was deadly. However, we all knew he was talented offensively. I'm more impressed with his on ball defense. He's no John Comeaux, but he was darn good against Paul Quinn.
Oddyst Walker showed that he needs more work. This is disturbing against low level competition. Maybe it's mental because he had shown in warm ups that he has a sweet stroke. Perhaps adding some muscle to his thin frame might boost his confidence. He also needs to work on his ball handling and passing. A lot of people expected him to make a big leap in improvement this year, but we are going to have to wait another year.
Charlie Daniels clearly had more energy this afternoon than Kensmil.
I was glad to see Solomon come back from the ankle injury so quickly. He is one player that I expect to make a huge leap between his freshman and sophomore seasons. It would be nice to see a reliable 12-15 foot jumper.
I was only going to mention reserves in this post, but I can't help but wonder why Roti remains a starter. He is simply not productive enough on the offensive end. I don't want to be hyper critical of him because he does everything "okay". For instance, he is a smooth ball handler ( but doesn't have the assist numbers), plays pretty good defense ( not John Comeaux standards, but those are high standards), and has a good shot (but constantly passes up open shots).
Hart probably has the most potential, but he is so foul prone. I'm not sure what he did to get the technical, but I hope he wasn't gloating after his dunk. He could benefit immensely from a summer in the weight room.
That's all folks.
