    Player of the Game: Travis Brown

    Wanted to give kudos to the senior who busted his bum tonight (as did all the guys). But Travo really stood out. Some big rebounds. Big threes. Glad the senior could step in and have his night. It was key.

    Way to go Travo! Way to go Panthers! What a season . . .

    9 pts and 5 reb's off the bench is a great contribution, especially with Koch having an off night.

        He's played pretty well for several games, hasn't he?

          He's had some good games. But tonight, for some reason he just really stood out. Hustled on defense. Big rebounds. His play was a BIG reason the game ended in our favor (IMO).

            I agree; he had a great game.

              I love watching TB play well. What a good kid...ehem...young man.

                The stat that won't show up in the stats is the FANTASTIC job he did guarding Eldridge. Great game by Brown tonight. Way to go cats. Enjoy the night off tonight and take down the trees on Saturday.

                  Great point. I have been critical of Brown's defense in the past, but tonight he was tremendous. Eldridge could not shake him in the second half and rarely had a good look. Travis' career has been one of hitting some big shots, add another one tonight with the one that gave us the lead, but the biggest play may have been his offensive rebound on the missed 1 and 1 that got us a second possession and a Kwadzo bucket.

                    From the minute he stepped on the court he had his chin and chest out, ready for battle. Kudos to coach Jake for noticing. It took away minutes in the second half from Johnny Moran-but it worked for the team.

                      Did you notice how Eldridge THOUGHT he could take it to Travis though? I loved the play where he tried once, couldn't get by. Tried again, couldn't get by. Tried again, and dribbled it off his foot out of bounds. Loved it!

                        He has literally gone from being a guy who would commit silly fouls to being one of our best and most consistent defenders. The way he has been playing during this streak reminds me of John Little/Erik Crawford type D.

                        He very easily could have a horrible attitude and given up on this year with the lack of playing time early on in his senior year (if I was in his shoes, I probably would have), but thank goodness he's not me and has just worked is @$$ off and earned more and more minutes.

                          He really earned it last night. I was really happy for him. No one works harder for a rebound than Travy.

                            Exactly. And that is after Travis had been hounding him so much that he wasn't even getting touches so O figured he would just try and do it all himself. Kept his feet moving to stay in front of him and was close enough that O couldn't just step back for a jumper either-very solid defense.

                            Another key to that was that it allowed Kwadzo to then switch over to shut down Holloway as well (9 1st half pts, 0 2nd).

                              It was awesome to see him step up. Moran was definately off his game compared to TB and I still like seeing him instead of KD.
