Happy to get a win. It was great resilience from being up 14 to down 9. Looks like AJ may be an answer, and what a performance.
It was the perfect game for Lilly. He didn’t dominate the shooting and didn’t force hard shots. He took over only when they needed him.
It was not an altogether impressive performance. UMKC does not guard anybody and Brown took advantage. It was the first game we didn’t rebound - I mean they missed a lot of block outs even in free throws and it was very nearly anatomy of a loss.
Also they have to be smarter. When the game was on the line Anya threw a terrible pass out of bounds when he should have held it, and Nana and Cooley both with ridiculous fouls when all you have to do is not foul. Signs that they’re still learning to win.
But the overtime was pristine and I loved the distribution of shots. And that we may have found a shooter who can be out there.
