43.4% from 3 point range? I'll take it!

You've got some talented, veteran players. I'm just glad to see our young players get more and more experience. It'll pay off big in one or two years.

Troy has talent. Just young. They will cause problems before the season is over in the Belt. The kids from Birmingham are good players.

Agreed.

Nicholson had 11 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals.

Jalen didn't have the spark yesterday. Watching him made me wonder if he wasn't feeling that good.

I can't remember a game where he played that poorly. Seemed like they took the ball right from his hands every time he had it, and then just threw up half-hearted shots.

The pressure defense and zone really limited Jalen (and the offense in general). I don’t think Jalen’s shot selection was any different than the earlier games; the difference is he only took three shots.

Also, felt like the rotations were off this game. Jalen usually has the bulk of minutes as the primary ball handler, but that didn’t seem to be the case this game. Maybe AK was trying to free up Jalen on offense, but the zone just slowed everything down.

If we didn't have Jemison, we probably wouldn't win half our games this year.

He is the difference maker. Swatting shots, altering shots, enforcer, sucking up rebounds, good at the line too....

Huge dropoff when he isn't in the game.

No offense to Gordon. I'm betting he improves every year.
