Obviously, what Uguak did tonight was impressive. What’s even more impressive is that he’s played 3 straight solid games in a row. I have no idea what’s gotten into him, but it’s awesome!
Give credit to North Texas because they play great, defensively, as a unit… But there is still no excuse for this team to only put up 57 points in a game. I have to say though, it was obvious that UNT game planned to try and shut down krutwig with double teams, and for the most part it worked. They seem like they are one offensive player away from being a really good team.
You can be mad at Hall, but we all know he historically a streaky player. He could come out next game and put up 24. It’s the weirdest thing.....
I don’t know what the right thing to do with Welch is. The problem is, even though he’s not a center... he does really well as a backup In a limited minute role.
Uguak is looking better, our free throws are looking better. We showed we can still win the game with a slowed down pace. We also showed we can win even when 3 of our starters go a combined 2-15 from the field. Things are looking up!
Just to give a bit of perspective to that 57 points, on an off-shooting night:
West Virginia, who will probably end up giving Gonzaga its closest game until the Tournament, losing 87-82, scored 62 against North Texas. And they were beating WVU 29-21 at halftime.
They also held Arkansas and Mississippi State to under 70. They’re a really, really good defensive team.
