The team looked much better running the actual offense, a lot of wide open misses which is good. They turned down the turnovers except for the very beginning and very end, and the defense looked much better. They really need Moussa back because Dickinson can't play that minutes. They shot extremely well from 3, so the improvements on offense should help because they won't be able to shoot close to that consistently.

Juwan was forced to play Frankie today after more fouls by Jones. As everyone watching games this year knew, Frankie should be starting. I love Juwan, but he was slow to adjust this year. I'm also not sure how Bufkin can't get any run when he was rumored to be a shot maker and Brooks seems over taxed at times. 

But basketball is more fun when the ball goes through the hoop.

I’m not convinced Juwan was slow to adjust. I think he wanted to get Jones as much run as possible in the nonconference with an understanding that he’ll need to be a valuable contributor for the team to have success. 
 

In other words, I actually think Jones’ poor play is WHY he’s getting so much run.

I was at the game and Frankie was the story of the game to me. Also tells you educated our fanbase is when Jones picked up his 3rd foul early second half there was a loud applause for Collins as he substituted in.
