The Ups
Frontcourt Dominance. John Collins had 17 points (6-11 shooting, 5-7 from the line), and 7 boards. Konstantinos Mitoglou had 15 points (6-8 shooting, 3-4 from the line) and 7 rebounds. Austin Arians had 12 points (4-5 shooting, 1-2 from deep, 3-4 from the line) and 5 rebounds. Our guards struggled something fierce shooting, but the bigs picked up the slack, and boy am I glad they did.
Unconventional Guard Contributions. Despite shooting woes, Bryant Crawford had 11 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds with only one turnover. Keyshawn Woods was 1-7 shooting, but he added 8 boards and 3 assists.
