Evansville Preview and Game Thread -- 1-18-2022

If we’re not going to use Hutty’s size on offense, and the other team is spreading us out and keeping him on the perimeter where he can’t defend, what is he doing out there?

[goramblers2011]

Chris Knight is a really good ball player. We are lucky to have him.

Knight looks like he's finally found a comfortable niche in the offense and defense.

This 2nd unit is so fun to watch. They come in with fresh energy and wear down the opponents before the starters come back.

Nice to see that Clemons is hitting his groove. He had a sneaky good first half. 5 points are great, but I've been more impressed by his defense. He's done a nice job switching and icing the dribbler on screens plus he's been vocal and making sure everyone is positioned correctly.

Glad we're on top by a few points at the half. Would like to see us maximize the offensive/rebounding advantage in the paint in the 2nd half. If you let Givance and Newton get 12-16 points and shut down the rest of the team, you're going to beat Evansville.

Schweiger has had a bad game, trying to do too much after a couple mediocre games.

Up 11...would love to see the lead build to 20+ by the unde 8 timeout so we can get other guys some minutes (and rest for Lucas, Braden, etc).

[JCT]

I want to see Saint Thomas in an MVC game for more than four minutes. I want to see him guarding the opposing 2 guards. He's going to be really important next year, and he needs some in-game experience. This might be the only in-game road experience he can get this year, so put him in. If we get up by 18 or more, put TY in.

I agree with all points about Knight, Clemons and Thomas.

[goramblers2011]

Up big against a team that hasn't shown much ability to score points. Would love to see Saint, Welch, Hutty, etc finish this game.
