Re: Missouri-Kansas City Kangaroos
I thought the guys played very hard last night. The threat of a three opened things up inside. It's amazing what Eric Hein is doing right now. You can see the looks on the coaches faces that they are amazed as well. You have to give the kid credit as he has taken advantage of the opportunity presented to him and is playing well on both sides of the ball. I like Gilbert coming off the bench but he made several stupid unecessary plays ie. pass behind the back and forcing the ball into the defense when looking for a better shot or more open man would have been better. I think the coaches are frustrated with some of the things Gilbert is doing on the court but also understand he is the most athletic player on the team and to reign this young player in too much might be detrimentally as well and we don't have many other options. I think with maturity he will understand how to play the game within the confines of a team and still display his athleticism. This was a very physical game and clearly both teams were going to be sore today. We got the Roos big guy #54 Spears in early foul trouble and he was frustrated all night. He threw down a thunderous dunk in the second half, but that was about it. Jamar Day is a faboulous player everthing he does is fast yet controlled. Small but loud and vocal crowd. Student section is again dissapointing with the size of the crowd but those who were there were very into the game. I know its finals week and the holidays are approaching but can't understand why more students and area fans don't get out to see an improving Jacks team and some great visiting talent. Will be interesting how many show up this weekend for the women and in Sioux Falls next week. The season will be over before we know it. Good win over a Mid-Cont opponent. I think shortening up the bench has sent a message to Frias and Casey and they will have to earn there way back on the court.
