The Deacs were back in action on Tuesday for their 2nd Quad 4 buy game of the season, and it went pretty much exactly as expected.
Personally, it’s hard to really learn anything about the team or feel any form of excitement from anything that happens in these buy games against 300+ level KenPom opponents, but I’ll just throw out a few thoughts I had during the game. This was the first game of the season where Gavin Placide truly looked like a freshman. I don’t know if the length of Charleston Southern’s Lase Olalere (6-10) and Mathok Majok (7-4) were giving him issues, but he seemed hesitant to shoot the ball when he got it in the paint.
