Don't know why Coach didn't insert Sylla into the game just to harass the opposing centers. If nothing else, he is good for five fouls. And even if Sylla isn't an offensive force, we would have four players on the floor who could score.

Davis why did you not get Shaw into game. That was some BS. Was Shaw the fourth injured player? Because everyone else except Ottrix played.

Shaw played in the 2nd half. The reason you didn't notice is because he didn't do anything.
We not only got killed inside because of our height/weight difference, but the 6 guys who played most of the game tired out in crunch time. We need to find two bigs with a mean streak.

Just watched Bryant and they somehow managed to find a couple of quality bigs. You'd think we'd be able to crack that code one of these days. The next Ryvon and T Riggs would be a godsend about now.

Now everybody should be happy. That $50,000 was easy come easy go. It’s baseball season!

And even if Sylla isn't an offensive force, we would have four players on the floor who could score. Sylla (and Koka) both played a few minutes early, and were very ineffective. Koka even started. I think Coach was hoping they'd give us some good minutes against FFGCU's bigs, but neither did much. I might have tried Sylla again in the second half for a bit, but I can't blame Coach for the decision.

It was great to see the Titans come out shooting. The first half was good basketball. Davis was hitting his signature step back 3s to get the offense going. Then the second half happened, the scoring drought was rough to start the half. Nice to see the team fight back, the short bench didn't help. The guys ran out of gas.
Sylla played in the beginning of the game. He set a pick then rolled towards the basket, good play just lost the ball out of bounce. Didn't see him in the game after that. Guards (Davis and MacAdoo) found open lanes and drove the ball into the paint resulting in layups. In the second half the ball was kicked out to DJ on the perimeter.
Overall, it was nice to see the Titans play postseason basketball. FGCU exposed our lack of size down low. Offseason, Sylla and Koka need to develop an offensive post game.

Announcers said four Titans did not travel down to Florida for the game. Isiani, Waterman, assume Phillips and ? Looks like Ottrix didn’t travel with the team. To underscore the obvious; we certainly missed having Isiani and Waterman. It would be great to have Willy back for his bonus year, he has improved every year and has a good understand of the system at both ends of the floor.

FWIW, saw this comment about the Basketball Classic on the Youngstown St. message board: “I heard from the ESPN+ broadcast that the buy in for the game was $10,000.”
