Has Jizzle come off the court yet today? I can't recall...this has been an insanely good effort from him, definitely have to be worried a bag is coming his way after this and his end of season.

Really poor decision by Reed. Also the Cats are not getting stops. Need to finish this.

Let Jizzle be the main 2 next year. He can get you 18-20 a night. Hopefully Day Day comes back and get another combo guard out of the portal

Yes, in the first half.

Feels like we are getting tired now, bunch of guys playing more minutes than they are used to with Day Day out.

Josh had a mismatch in the post. Wasn't the smoothest post move but it wasn't a bad miss.

#21 for Bradley is only 5'8" and they've been hunting him on offense. it's the right thing to do.

My issue with Wes has been letting games like this close. Let’s close it out. Close games might be random but letting them get close isn’t.

I dont think Jizzle would get those point totals with him and DayDay on the court together. DayDay is so ball dominant on offense that it would take away from Jizzle's game...he isn't a catch and shoot guy, which is kind of what he'd have to be with DayDay on the court with him. It's a blessing to have two starting quality PGs, but it's also a curse...just hope we don't like him in the portal, that would be catastrophic.

This game has been a preview of the future. Jizzle, Dan, and Simas.

Ody in at center instead of Reynolds and it's paying dividends immediately.

i don't know how worried i would be about money with Jizzle. Sure, it's nice to earn your keep but his father earned plenty in the NFL. i'm sure there are a lot of kids who need to absolutely earn at this level because they have others depending on them and they may not make it to any pro level. Jizzle isn't in that category.

i feel like a lot of whether Jizzle stays or goes is up to Coach Wes and whether he's good about letting there be open competition for the starting PG spot. He's obviously starting caliber.

Bradley appears to be sending in the patsies.

You have to imagine Vik and/or Jamille are gone if today's rotations are any indication.

just hold the ball on offense

That's what coaches are for. Jizzle is your best talent - go with him.

He needs to get in the gym and get his 3 point percentage up, but I have no doubt that he will do that

This should have been an NCAA tournament team. Next year it will.

Agreed - those guys are who Wes should build around

Reynolds got his chances today, he just blew them to the point that Wes put in Ody to give Aziz a rest in the rotation. Instead of letting them back in it like Reynolds had been all game, Ody helped us extend the lead and Aziz never needed to come back in.

I suspect Vik's ankle isn't at 100%, so it's hard to judge how much him not coming in indicates anything. The fact that he didn't come in even late indicates that he's probably only available for emergencies right now.

That felt a little like a December buy game. The talent disparity was pretty evident.

Combined they scored 62 of our 74 points and that's counting Reed's garbage time 3.

Aziz and Newman contributed a lot on the defensive end and were our two rebounding leaders.

Not much from the bench: Reed contributed defense and rebounding, Reynolds was worthless and Ody played a nice 4 minute segment to help us pull away late.
