A few observations based upon watching the game on ESPN: a good team effort despite very little front court presence and a real disparity in front court size; without Dingle Penn is not going anywhere; Dingle is very good but gets every call; McLean played a great second half but needs to finish without getting so many shots blocked; Brown played very well and is pretty clearly the future of this team going forward; DLR had a bad night and had he played up to what we have seen in the past we might have actually stolen this game; the announcers were among the worst homers in the IL; none of my usual criticism of the game management; again, Bedri and Livingston have to get a lot stronger in the off-season, and Noland needs an outside shot.
