Yes - looks like he is huffing down the court to get on defense.

Thank goodness they are not hitting 3 pointers.

Their center (Edosawan (sp?)) has 7 baskets. We can't guard him, he's only 6'9.

Looks like we are lacking any real set plays. Random people cutting to hoop, passing to open man, repeat, repeat, someone lofts up a shot that doesn't have a chance. Rebounding is not great either.

We are getting lucky that Harvard has not hit 3 pointers. And a few lucky calls going our way. Hinds is the only one showing some stuff so far.

It's because we don't run anything. DK just waits for and hopes one of his guards takes over.

Looking like a really bad high school game.

Amaker should talk to his team about chucking up 3 pointers. They are 0-8 now.

The problem is that Harvard will inevitably start hitting open shots.

Ya...I suspect they are better shooters, though. Certainly better coached.

Sounds like some nice early play by CJ Anderson and Malik Hines. Seems like a really competitive game so far
