When it was announced Jayden Quaintance wasn't going to play tonight, we told you Andrija Jelavic was a guy who needed more run. And tonight, he finally got it. He was 0-2 from the floor, but like Trent Noah, he makes the extra pass, spaces the floor well, and the team just looks better with him on the court. He finished the game with a plus/minus of 14.

Mark Pope saw his team drop down by 10 again in the first half, and some boo birds came out early with the Cats down 16-6. The boos seemed to wake the team up because the Cats started to pick up the pressure immediately after.
