I was in attendance at the game today. Beautiful facility and was able to get a couple Griffs fans from the area together for a meal and the game. The results of the game were hard to watch, but here are my takeaways.

1. Could not get into the offense and had some horrible turnovers. Edward’s can grow with experience, but needs to distribute better which is easy for me to say from the stands.
2. The HPU guards moved the ball well leading to easy 3’s and layups, we had no answer to stop it. The difference in guard play was very obvious.
3. A lot of dribbling outside the 3-point line which allowed HPU to get comfortable guarding us with easy switches and no fear of us penetrating.
4. At points, seemed like the guys were confused of what offensive set we wanted to run - leading to bad shots and turnovers. Coach was definitely getting frustrated as I am sure they have been practicing these sets for months.
5 Oliver had a great dunk, that was the lone highlight of the night, we need more of that.
6. I still love the Griffs and hope they turn it around!

I'm 95% sure I know who this Ed is. If so, great to hear from you and love that you are still generating interest and organizing pre-game meals from afar!

From my vantage (my couch), I agree with your detailed analysis. Definitely a lot to work on. This MTE couldn't come soon enough. Two very winnable games before UB.

Griff,
Do you have any idea when Evbagharu and Niblack will be back? Don't you think that they would be a help at point guard? Thanks.

It's my understanding that Evbagharu should be back this weekend, Niblack probably still out for another 3-4 weeks.
