That’s called taking one for the team. Do work son

Let’s see....Williams, Johnson, Jordan, Bertram, Mballa, Segu, and Grant. All trash in the 1st half. Jordan is king trash Graves. Barely not trash. Not good though. Hardnett. Decent 1st half even though he got 4 minutes.

And Graves needs to snap out of it. I know he's been sick, but he's been kind of a non-factor for the last 5 games. Last 5 games Graves is the following 27 for 74 (36%), 7 for 29 on 3's (24%), 14pts a game. Then 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block. And 60% FTs. All way below his average. Previous 5 before that 36 for 78 (46%), 16 for 36 (44%), Over 20pts a game. 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals. And 80% FTs.

I dont know why this team struggles at home, but this should the first time we truly have a home court advantage. Non-conf was just blah at home....students have been away. Tonights the night to get that home court feeling back. Big match up to me is Mballa vs Plowden. If we control Plowden on the boards they almost don't have anyone else that rebounds consistently. He's had 4 games straight of 9+ rebounds. BG has 5 main guys and Plowden is the tallest one at 6'6. I almost think we let Frye and Turner get theirs and we focus on shutting down Plowden. You shut him down and you take away their whole inside game. Guys like Williams and Hardnett could have big games if they pull down a bunch of offensive rebounds.
