Solid win. Considering the still brutal start from 3, Akot's literal career day, and the 12 point lead turning into a 5 point deficit, it's hard not to be pleased. Boise is solid, and with the injuries to VCU and SLU, probably a good representation of some of the toughest tests we'll see in conference play.
I agree with BI85, but it's one of those Schmidt things that's part of the deal with him. He tightens and doubles inside, and asks you to beat him from 3. Speaking of part of the deal with Schmidt, as it relates to Brown- hard to get open looks when you're not out there. I thought Brown looked more comfortable than he has so far. I was happy to see him launch a couple of 3's. I think we're going to need more from the bench to win tomorrow. We'll need to stay fresh and throw different looks at them.
Edit to add: Adaway is just the man. 10/5/3 with you hardly noticing it, including a couple clutch buckets. Did a great job with Kagbib who smells like a matchup problem for a lot of A-10 level teams.
