Another Great win tonight, but i wonder why Coach Christian sits Haynes for such long periods of time. I know in first half he had 2 fouls, but in the 2nd half he sat for a good 10 minutes. Having him run the point frees up Haut, who is arguably the hottest shooter in America to spot up for threes?

To answer the question, DeAndre is a freshman. Coach is handling him very carefully and wants him to learn to run the team for the future. Often, a player can learn more by watching from the bench than he can by playing. Also, we were getting burned by 2 very hot guards from Miami. They are long armed 6'-5" types who were positing up DeAndre down low. In fact, Haut had the same problem. Jakeway is much more physical and helped somewhat. We had terrible match up problems until Miami lost some on their legs which caused the shots not to fall. Miamis defense was centered on stopping Haut from killing them from the outside. If he is not going to get the shots, he might as well handle the ball and dish it off as he did. DeAndre is learning very fast, but do not expect too much of a freshman. What game!

I found I really do not like being down 19 points in a game.
I like new experiences, but did not enjoy that one at all.


Awesome 25 minute run to end the game, though!
That, I liked!
