2 amazing stats from the game last night.....

1) Nnoko played 43 minutes, yes our 6-10" center played over 40 minutes, and had ZERO fouls, with 6 blocks, 6 rebounds, and 8 points.
2) Free throws- 25-29, 86.2%- speaks for itself!
So on an off offensive night, we didn't let big men get into foul trouble, and nailed free throws to win it, I'll take it any day! Go Tigers!

Knoko will have 2 fouls in the first 5 minutes tonight.

Mark it down. The worst thing about basketball is that refs can affect the game so much. Those guys were horrible last night.

Hopefully Djitte can give Nnoko a little rest tonight.....

I appreciate the minutes that Nnoko played and he is our best big guy, but hopefully the other guys can spell him enough in the first half so he can be fully effective the entire game.
Fortunately, I think we match up decently well with Duke. But we will have to execute better offensively than we did last night and contain their shooters.

the way we control our fouls is something i have thought

a lot about.
it certainly has to do with coaching. it hasnt been long ago that the joke of the league was how many fouls we would have. think about all the 'foul on booker' jokes. and now, here we are in 2014 with brownell and we shoot more free throws than our opponents in almost every game we play.
the same goes for free throw shooting, got to give this staff a lot of credit for these 2 things

It is great to play defense the way that the tigers play it every possession but it especially nice to see them do it without foolish, costly fouls. It is coaching!
Tonight Harrison and Blossongame will need to contribute earlier in the game. I hope McD can hang on for this game until its over. It took Hall a little while to get going last night. I don't think it will tonight. Roper has moved back into the lineup just as we hoped he would. I expect a dozen points from him against Duke.

Noke spectated quite a bit in early half

watching players drive and score in the paint area where he should have help-D'd. He just stood there. No wonder no fouls. That's the other side of it. Sometimes a player not fouling isn't taking enough risks and isn't hustling, or is playing from a position of fear.
