Plus, Thompson and Silva have been relegated to the rotation fringes for quite awhile, I don’t think the opposing teams were caught off guard with who our offense ran through, I DO think they were caught off guard with his ability to hit FT’s which allowed them to have his hands on the ball more down the stretch.
Mostly, they seemed more on top of things defensively, particularly on 3pt shots. I didn’t see many uncontested and when I did it was early clock off a LB turnover which isn’t really on the defense. UCI shot it at a decent 3%, but we limited the attempts to like 15. I didn’t check recently, but Long Beach was leading the nation in 3pt shot attempts allowed a couple of weeks ago. Pretty good turnaround considering how short out rotation was playing 3 games in 3 days.
Making Aboubacar the PG for the BWT.
