Lewis Preview and Game Thread -- 12-05-2020

Ecstatic to watch this team against tough competition. UIC in a week from tomorrow will be a big step up from Lewis and Chicago State.

It's nice to see the bench getting some minutes. Very interesting that Norris started rather than Clemons. We are showing our defensive prowess today. I'm excited to see how we play against UIC. That should be a better proxy of the season.

I was Surprised by that as well, it was mentioned that Clemons has a sore knee.

Great defense.

Thought that seeing a couple threes go in definitely lifted our offense, and we started to get some flow.

Trying not to overreact, but everything just looks wrong when we are at the line. We need to get our better shooters to the line and get some confidence going. Someone should tell Tate he sucks at FTs and forget everything he knows. Just get the ball and shoot it. The hesitation setup is weird and the follow through is bad. No reason he can't shoot 70%.

We’re really going to be able to spread the floor with this team, Norris looks great so far.

This seems like a trend from him that isn’t going to change, below 60% for 116 shots last year and 0-3 right now.

Wow, we’re so deep I completely forgot about Paxson

Need Montel James to help Tate and the team with free throws.

I see we're reverting back to the "go ice cold for 5+ minutes"

I thought the same exact thing when I saw him

Great to get a win to start the year!

He is a flinger.....which produces little back spin...so the ball motion on his free throws is horizontal....when he jumps for 3 pointers arm extends and shot is more vertical. most people start at a 90 degree angle....tate starts at less than that meaning the motion is going horizontal......
CHicago St..looks a level up from Lewis and UiC at least a level up from them....so maybe it all worked out correctly considering the Covid break
