Thanks for the links. I followed the game using ESPN play by play. I found out about the links after the game had started and with the Phoenix doing well I did not want to jinx them by switching. I admit to being a bit superstitious. Does anyone know if there is a replay of the entire game available?

It's a tough game to feel great about. Normally hanging with a Big Ten team on the road would have me over the moon. Yet this game had moments with the fouls and inability of some players to handle the press that make me feel like this was closer to a missed opportunity than a moral victory.
The good news is they know what they need to work on.
As stated great game for Manny. He battled and he scored in a variety of ways. Most impressive was his ability to get in the middle of the zone at the FT line and do work.
The dunk by Trev really showed me about his work in the off season. I harped on this last year but the team couldn't dunk. He exploded up on one dribble. Shows he is in shape and stronger.
Cody doesn't look to have his legs but don't sleep on him just yet.
Lots of good looks that didn't drop, I think they are due.
Some guys tend to stop the ball on offense a little bit. I would love to see them rotate it side to side quicker and make the zone defense move more. They got easier looks when they did this vs playing one side of the court or stopping the ball at the top.
Also, I would love to see them get the ball out of the net faster. Manny and PJ are the only guys looking to do that every time. The new guys aren't there yet. RP40 can work on made baskets too.

Cody Schwartz most definitely needs to step it up or Trevian Bell needs to see a majority of his minutes, but he may turn it on once he gets back into game shape. Yes, the issue is Bell was in foul trouble too which limited his minutes... I think he had 3 in the 1st half... I believe it will all come together real soon as the fouls are hurting players ability to step up but part of game so they have to figure out how to manage and when to take the risks.

To show how we were getting beat by the refs, see the foul at the 1:58 mark after a Pipes layup on the in bound pass... That gave him 2 fouls and to the bench he had to go... Pipes does have to back off but when you don't touch the kid, and he even gets the pass, you don't expect to get a foul called on you.
