Koka has to be the worst defensive player I have seen as a Titan. In 3 min. Gives up 2 baskets

The announcers don’t even notice that Alec has entered the game

True. I forgot about Ackerman.
On a positive note, the new "Ak" (Akec) is in the game, and he's a player. Hope we don't have to work him too hard tonight, but really glad he's back. And hope Willie is OK. We just aren't as good without him out there.
AD is absolutely phenomenal so far. Hope he keeps playing and shooting like this rest of the season!

He is much worse wouldn’t qualify to wash Zack’s shorts, the minute he goes into a game the entire game turns against us. I think Harvey might agree with me. Take a look at the look he gives Koka after he has a rebound and then Koka comes flailing and knocks it out of Harvey’s hands and elbows Harvey in the shoulder.

I liked Davis game until the final possession whe no one else touched the ball for 28 seconds and then he forced an air ball.

Looked like a 40 point win for much of the game. Was a little disconcerting to see GB get back within single digits a couple times but in the end it was the solid home win they needed to start the tourney.
I will say that GB was much worse in person than I was picturing. They had some guys getting significant minutes that didn't look the part of D1 players.
AD went off for a good portion of the game. Hope he didn't spend them all!

Willy Isiani was nice enough to visit the Titan Club Room for a couple minutes right after the game. I think a couple of fans invited him to come up and they took some photos. I heard Willy say he felt fine and he would be ready to go on Thursday. For those who didn’t catch this evening’s game, he hyperextended his knee early in the first half and only played limited minutes.
Akec was back, clearly he was rusty but did grab 6 rebounds
With the injuries affecting performance and availability, the Titans appeared out of sync at times despite the 17 point victory margin. Antoine was so hot tonight the blemishes didn’t seem to matter as much, but we will need to play more together to beat NKU on Thursday.

Good win. Twon played great Koka needs to think then react instead of just reacting. Like that he has energy but not seeing that DJ had the rebound and colliding into him just for the ball to fallout of bounce. He made a good move to the hoop and scored though. He reminds me a little like Willy was his freshman year. Not setting strong screens thinking too much how to move not focused on the game to react. I did like that he started to battle down low against there center for rebounds and was battling for positioning. I think he will get there but needs to train more and not get so frantic when entering the game causing him to missing cuts on defense. Kevin had some nice offence when we needed him making a big three to get the team going again in the second half along with getting a steal. Much needed energy player. Kyle are Detroit grinder. He plays hard on defense fighting for the ball making good heads up moves. I like the trap down low grabbing to make it a jump ball. He just does a lot of the little things you might miss watch during the game. DJ has such a smooth offensive game. He makes some quick moves look so effortlessly and than nails down the shoot. Matt had some nice assists and hustling on defense fighting for loose balls Now the bad: Defense as a whole need to step it up. That game we really should of been able to shut down that team. We had the size, the speed and the length but there was to much sloppy defense that made it easy for that team to get back from a 22 pt lead and make it into 8 pt. That really should of happen. The biggest problem this year was when are offence was cold (guys were getting their shot just not making it wide open) this team did not know how to defensively lock down the other team from scoring and grind out a win. If you have the size, length and speed than you are not putting the effort in to really shut someone down. No One in the HL has an offensive shooter like Twon that can consistently make difficult shoots at a high % (for those shoots). The team needs to tighten up the transition when switch who they are guarding and KNOW WHO THEY NEED TO BE ON. This caused some easy hoops for the other team. Are offense is going to putting us in these games but we need to turn up the defense as a team to guarantee us to win this Tournament. I really get why coach went out and got a defensive assistant coach for this team because they NEEDED IT.
