Big Win

[MiloCat]

This was a huge win for the Panthers. It was nice to see them have a more balanced offense, shooting only 12 three pointers. Great to see Stout have a big game...almost a double-double.

I would have never pictured myself saying this at the beginning of the year, but if we just worry about the post, and get inside to our big men, we're really tough to beat. I think that was demonstrated tonight. What did we end up shooting from the floor?

We shot close to 60 percent

and the stats say that we were very efficient...only took 43 shots....and scored 79 points......granted you gotta hit your free throws, but things are looking better going into SIU!

We saw some things!

Wow...what a different team that we saw on the floor yesterday in many ways! The offense was definately moving as was the defense strong. We really pushed the ball up the floor as well.

I really liked to see what Brooks is starting to bring to the floor. His outside shot is still not falling...but he is being more aggressive on his drives and is looking for the shot more often when he does (although he still needs to keep looking to the hoop). I especially like the leadership that he also is showing. According to Coach Mac he called a players only team meeting on Sunday to discuss the current situation. I like him stepping up like this!

And I think we saw this from all the Cats yesterday!

To the Dogs - Bring it On!

I think after watching last night's performance, it's looking more and more like we bottomed out at Drake, and are back into form. We looked really good last night, and Evansville just couldn't keep up. I hope this momentum keeps going through Saturday... if it does, we could get the big W!
