They like slowing things down and make it a grind it out type of game. They enjoy mucking things up.

A 20 point win over St Louis is the same as beating those cupcake teams by 40. This is a good win and a learning experience for Nanu.
 
Mangok, Mahmoud, Trey, Q carried the team while Chinanu and Damion
were in foul trouble.

Down 5, win by 20 over these clowns is a great building block.

Tough one Wednesday. Exactly what we want.

Go Cards !

It's always good to get experience against opponents with different styles. It does make some games more difficult to watch than others but like Kerry said, I'm glad the team has guys that can pick up the slack when other key guys are in foul trouble. It will happen other times during the season for sure.
 
I liked the fact that we started both mango and onuaku, defensively, but I think we got off to a slow offensive start, plus Lee and Onuaku got in foul trouble. Need Spaulding, Johnson or Adel (hurt) to start at the 4 and produce. I think the next experiment is to start Mahmoud at the 4 with either mango and onuaku at the 5.

We while I thought we played well we didn't play anywhere close to perfect and still won by 20. There is a lot of defense for Pitino to put in and despite that we are still holding teams down.

Mich St will be the real measuring stick but St Louis ain't no slouch team.
