Really helped. Yes we are always better when we have Dylan, but sometimes the team is struggling to find its role with two scores tonight. It was clearly ace and everyone worked around that and got open shots when it was needed.

Give credit to Pike tonight for going with acuff martini and jmike

Jwill and dercack control the ball way too much and force others to stand around. Tonight the ball moved, it went to Ace and everyone knew their role. I think it’s gonna be interesting to build on this and to keep the ball moving and not have the stagnant offense.

I would like to see Jay will be a spot, defender and energy, bringer, and Dercack be talked to that he needs to bring that same energy and defense, and let go of the prima donna Matador defense attitude

Yeah ball moved a lot more on offense and made a huge difference…no dribble BS

I thought Acuff did a really good job running the offensive in the second half in Harper’s absence. Found Ace in good spots, didn’t try to force anything to him when it wasn’t there, no turnovers.
That’s the big difference to me with Jmike
And Acuff out there. While some forced things here and there which were boneheaded they played within themselves to try and create for others.
Jordan and Jwill were their usual “put head down, drivble, and try to force things” mode last night. That’s not what we need on the team. Thats ISO ball with the wrong guys.

Williams was ice skating again several times last night. I've never seen someone slip so often on a basketball court. He also leaves his feet on offense too often without clear knowledge of what he's going to do with the ball.

Acuff had his best game of the season. Hopefully, he is finally in game shape. We need him to be a scoring option.

Someone check the treads on his tires

This team and roster are seemingly impossible to predict and must be quite the enigma for this staff. For example, over the last five games RU had five different players leading the scoring among those not named Bailey or Harper.

Spot on comment.The lack of consistent scoring from the rest of the roster is the main reason for a 11-10 record.Missing so many foul shots leaves little margin for error.I was hoping at the beginning of the season that Williams and Acuff would be the third scoring threat on the court.

Really like to see the same crew who played last 14 mins of game start

LS
Acuff
Jmike
Grant
Ace

Jwill and Dercack for defensive energy and to cool it on O

Martini has improved d and is a 3 threat and deserves sminutes

I would also run out Hayes a few mins to see if he can get shots and get hot if not its only a few mins
