A Sea Of Red

Metheny sitting out tonight. "Load management".

Ritchie has done this before with a veteran player against an overmatched opponent. Peter starting in his place. Ihnen also returns to the starting lineup replacing Maughmer.

These types of games should be played finals week or over break

Up 41-20 at the half, despite a 1-9 cold spell midway through the period. The entire roster (except Metheny) has played, and Brett Decker is the leading scorer with 11 points, going 3-4 from 3. Peter has 6 and Bryson Spell has scored his first 5 points of the season. CB3 also got his first college points on a 3.

Final score 81-45. 13 players played double digit minutes and everyone scored. We actually had an awful game shooting. Take away the 8 dunks, and we shot just 20-61 from the field. The wide margin was the result of forcing 25 turnovers while only committing 3. Decker finished with 18 and Peter with 12. Kai Yu had 7 points and 6 boards in 12 minutes, getting to the foul line 10 times, but only making 5.

Peter has a smooth shot and his athleticism seems to be close to what Venzants was. I really would like to see him a little more. I thought CB3 looked pretty solid as well. I'm surprised he's still low on the depth charts, though I suppose it could be due to the additions that have more experience. He looks like he could be a key contributor in the future though, so I hope he sticks around. Decker played with a lot of confidence. He hit some nice shots early and was a bully on defense. As a PG though, I thought he was a little selfish and too quick to take shots, instead of working the ball around and using penetration to generate a better shot for someone else.

I give Decker a bit of slack on his shot selection, considering the fact that he was basically the only one hitting. Somebody's gotta do it.
