defense in the first half was very good and good in the second half. bit of a mental break that let afa back in the game, but frogs got back on track.
rj had possibly his best half for the frogs in the first half and was a big factor defensively, passing the ball and creating off the drive.
grayer really goes about his game without much fanfare, but once again puts up a very solid stat line.
kevin was kevin on the boards and had a good game. wish they would have fed him the ball more in the second half when he had the smaller afa defender pinned on his hip down low.
fuller's minutes were interesting as you can see the potential and him adjusting to the game.
one big concern that still remains is the 3 point shooting. obviously the numbers were down with bane having the bad night. farabello had a very good night and grayer once again was solid behind the line, but the team shot less than 30%. yes, desmond will not always shoot that poorly, but the concern is conference teams are going to focus on him and dare the others from 3.
the other concern is that in the second half the frogs fell back into the stagnant half court offense we saw at times last year that was dependent upon kevin setting a screen 20 foot from the basket and then offense coming from the drive while the other 3 players didn't move.
things are early, new players, things falling into place. this conference though is no joke especially defensively and the hope is/was that some of the half court offensive struggles we saw last year was the byproduct of the point guard and not the system.
