RE: Game Notes

Well we would have had Evans if it weren't for his legal probs to shoot the three.  He could really fill it up in HS.  Now it is going to have to be Patz or DeAndre.

Unfortunately we don't have a guard who can shoot 3s at will. Taquan is a classic example of what a team like ours needs. I also know that is too much for UC to ask!

It was surprising to see White take just 2-3 three point attempts yesterday.

A thought: Downey definitely looked tiny on the court. May be if he wears shorts that fit him better (those that don't reach up to his calf muscles) he might present a better picture and gain a little respect from the opponents.
