With or w out Berry it should've never been this close. Stilman needs to take all but 5-10 of Nate's minute. Senior be damned.
Pathetic performance by both players and from a coaching standpoint! Took Roy all game to put Kenny on Gibbs
This will be a good win without Berry against a decent team if we pull it out. Pretty frustrating at times though.
Well it's not since the PG was in a suit tonight
Berry is the catalyst. Glad to get through this game w no injuries. Luke showed why he's on this team. JJ keep playing like this you'll be in the lottery. I was hard on Nate tonight. Harder than I should have been. Glad to have him on our team regardless. Still wish Stilman would get more burn though.
These are the games that make you realize we are almost better off without Nate Britt seeing the floor. For all the flashes of stability and good that he will provide every 10th game or so, nights like tonight he is damn near the best player for the other team. We saw it against Wisconsin 2 years ago. We saw it last year against Nova. Those are some of the big ones sprinkled in with a handful of these games during the regular season. He's brutal. Just brutal.
I.
Hate to pile on but I sort of agree. He has times where he looks solid and composed and is a reliable backup but for most of the time he is very careless and inexplicably winds up with the ball in his hands late in the shot clock in crucial possessions of games..and those possesions usually end very badly. Tonight we had a 16 point lead and he came down early in the clock and threw up an airball and the game immediately changed and gave davidson momentum.
I often shake my head at how often he has the ball in his hands in huge situations for us. Its bizarre, and he seems to think that he is the guy to take the big shots for us.
Britt did a good job on Gibbs, who is really hard to guard. He struggled on offense but was pretty good on D considering who he was guarding.
He had 30 and shot almost 50 % from the field and was 5-10 from three! I just think Kenny would have done a much better job on him
Gibbs went for 30 tonight. He avgs 23. I wont say nate did a good job in him
Did anyone other than Jackson play more minutes than Britt. I doubt it. Nate could not put a beach ball in the ocean tonight but it looks like Coach Williams has more faith in him than many here and that is good enough for me.
Gibbs is a good player who is very difficult to guard, especially with the way he flops and throws himself into contact. I get people want to bash Britt. He had a really bad game on the offensive end. He really busted it to make it difficult on Gibbs and forced him to give it up a bunch and denied him a bunch off the ball, which is also part of defense. He also didn't score all his points on Britt.
Williams had 4 fouls while NOT guarding the best player on the other team!
I feel badly for Nate. He has had more balls go in and out lately than a top level porn star. And he is working very hard on the court and off just to get slammed by some internet "heroes" who couldn't score a point against him in a game of one on one. Sad, really.
