Love Jeremy Senglin. He kept the Cats in it with some acrobatic layups in the first half, but his free throw shooting is head scratching. 1-7...it is almost to the point that you don't want him in the game at the end because you can't count on him to hit his freebies. Heavens, he almost air-balled the first of three in the second half and he shot a lot of 3's that he shouldn't have. He was pushing it a bit at times.
Hill and Braxton were men possessed!! Hill had an absolutely awesome game, once he settled down and I loved watching Braxton go to town. He had a whale of a game. Gitten's defense was solid and he had some really nice drives. His outside shot wasn't falling, but then again, nobody's was. Imagine if he would have hit 1 or 2? I love the energy he brings to the floor and his passion. He is always trying to get the crowd jazzed. CROWD? It was big, but somewhat quite. I don't understand why they do the "baby-cam" with 5 to go and the Cats holding onto a 3 point lead. YES...lets kill the excitement and the crowd's energy. At that point, you need good music to keep the crowd in the game. Game atmosphere is really weird. Improving, but still really weird. Lastly, I have to say this, I'm really pissed that the usher's told the football team to sit down. Uh...Section A is a student section. Finally, we have a decent student crowd and the ushers/cops are telling STUDENTS to sit down in their section so that blue hairs can see. Uh...check their tickets to see if they should be sitting there or not. I'm pretty sure most of the folks complaining about the team standing don't actually have tickets in that section.
To me, however, I really think that Baker was the unsung hero last night. They guy had some huge plays. He made some solid passes, huge rebounds, and scored points when we needed them. Loved his rebound at the end of the game. I was shocked he didn't get whistled for a foul on the play, but his toughness was stellar.
