Subject: Review of game #2

I don't have the stats or score in front of me so the numbers might not be right, but here it goes. UC won 18 points which was a pleasant surprise.

Starters were Hollman, Max, Stokes, Field and Bobbitt. Hollman had trouble with the D, in fact AIA scored on a lot of give and goes and pick and rolls. The lack of a defensive center really showed. Offensively, Field Williams was the man. He had 21 points in the first half with several buckets coming from 25 ft. out including the closing shot at half. We were only up 3 or 6 points at half and we were shooting over 60% from 3 point land.

The second half was a different story. Part of the reason may be because AIA center was in foul trouble and we had a lot of trouble matching up with him. Our defense was much more active. UC was up by 20 with 10 minutes to go. With 5 minutes to go UC had its walk-ons in.

Tony Bobbitt showed he can play offense and defense. He anticipates very well. His shot was off a little, but I will gaurentee you he will have at least several 20 point games. From the center spot I thought Flowers showed improvement, but looked more like a power foward than a center. Hollman was very average. No offense at tall. Our JC center (whose name I forget) played fairly well. He made several jump hooks and got a handfull of rebounds.

This is going to be a year where somebody different will stand out each game IMO. All three freshmen showed flashes of brilliance at times (Kirkland, Moore, Hicks). Each are athletic and each can play offense and defense. They are still learning and it will be fun to watch them grow.

Stokes played OK and Barker played well. He made several outside shots and gave us a spark on defense. Clearly the player of the game was Field. His defense has improved dramatically, he got more than his share of rebounds and shot lights out. I would never have believed we could get this much out of him. He still has difficulty driving to the basket, but this game it wasn't needed.

I am encouraged after this game. I saw some positive things on defense which was my biggest concern. On offense with Field and Bobbitt in the game, nobody will zone us.
