Game 7- Northern Kentucky

[MDZip]

Okonkwo still yet to miss a shot. 5-5 from the field and 7-7 from the line.

Tavari really playing well.

Slept-walked through the final 10 minutes and still scored 86. We are an offensive unit this year.

Some ugly spells tonight on offense and some really awful fouls.  Groce was not happy with their sharpness or the fouling.

Looked healthy.  I suspect maybe he is coming off of an illness.

caught Groce interview after game.  I think he said Wilson was practice player of the week and was working on some of his bad habits which I'm guessing may be fitness/food related.  Wonder if Scott is in dog house like Wilson was for the last game when Wilson road the bench with his hoody.   Otherwise, the stuff we all witnesses regarding fouls and turnovers.  

 

Any thoughts on Hardman this evening?  He didn't have the wide open looks that he's used to.  Also, was he guarding Robinson?  Big mismatch when Tavari had him.

Hardman struggled tonight.  He is a 3 point specialist and missed every 3 ball and I think only scored one point.  I remember one play where he drove the lane and had a open lane to the basket and then passed it into the corner to Tavari leading to a turnover.  I think he is at best an average defender.

Hardman is not going to get as many looks now that opponents have some Akron film on him.  He's an awful defender and got caught in some bad switches.  I was surprised at how often NKU just put Robinson stationary in the low post when he was so successful moving on the floor.  He's a heck of an offensive player for being the Horizon Defensive Player of the Year.  He's also an Ohio kid.

Are you saying Groce whiffed on Robinson?

I don't have time to discuss it now as I am on my way to put the "For Sale" sign in Groce's front yard.

He's from Hamilton, which is literally Northern Kentucky.

I just saw the Hamilton, Ohio and knew it was somewhere around Cincinnati.  For all intents and purposes, it is West Virginia adjacent.
