First half was as bad as it gets. Second half was better I think for a few reasons. Mostly Bacon, Gooding and Costner played ANGRY. I think that's different from playing hard. Angry means that you have that killer look in your eye.Ferocity. Second Hall must get more responsibility. I don't think it was accidental that as Hall played better, Leon played better too. I still think Leon is a backup at 2 spots for a good team, but this isn't the time for a wet blanket. Note that as soon as Jenkins was out LIU went 2-3 zone. Man defense when he was in. A wing shooter is a must unless as has been stated Wes is the 3 but that only works if Leon can handle the 2 well enough. Gooding has to play with this ferocity all the time in order to get to places where he has a chance to score ie not the perimeter or anywhere near it.A needed win, but let's see if progress continues which is my measuring stick of the staff

Analysis of Oldtimer and Figgy is on the mark.
Free throws are so essential if we are to compensate for other shortcomings .The 51% we shot was worse than that because many were front ends of 1 and 1s.
I am in firm agreement with the 3 guard set. On the current team it also puts our five best players on the floor at one time. Playing longer together will also make Bacon,Gooding,Jenkins,Hall,and Leon a more cohesive unit, and hopefully the whole will become better than the sum of its parts.
We will be smaller than other teams but our quickness will crate match up problems for them also.
Sure we'll get blown out in some but it might afford us opportunities in other games.
Re the intensity issue. While playing hard in every game,last night was the first time I also,detected any sense of urgency and intensity.
This team needs leadership,to ignite that intensity, which must come from personality as well as skill. Who will it be?...Bacon,Jenkins,Hall??

Happy Thanksgiving!
