21 assists to 5 assists for SLU. Good to see us passing the ball much better and much quicker
Robinson led the team with 5 assists which equaled SLU team total
10 Blocked shots - imagine with HM?
5 Players in double figures - when has that last happened? KI=19, EC=17, JG=15, JT-12 and Jeff Dowtin=12 points and 5-5 FG including 2-2 on 3 pointers, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and no TOs.
More important than the points from the guards was their unselfishness. Assists: JG=4, EC=4, SR=5, JT=2, JD=1
DH has wanted the 3 guards to click all together - saying that after many games now..............well he got that and more with 4 guards all in double figures plus Robinson with 7 points and 5 assists, 2 steals and a block. Those 5 guards went 25-43 for 58% FG and 9-18 on 3 pointers for 50%.
Outrebounded SLU 46-31
Defense and rebounding were suffocating. As DH often says = we create our offense from our defense.
The team never let up. This group never does, at least not so far. The bench played hard always.
If we lose "heaven help us", or win by or less than the 14 point spread, then there would for sure be some "constructive criticism" on the game thread of the Coaching.
So with a 90-56 National TV Crushing of the opponent
A Big Tip of the Cap to Dan Hurley and the entire Coaching staff for this performance.
