Biorhythms for UNC v St. Bonaventure: 6 pm Tip

Bobby Jones was an incredible 6th man during his soph season (freshmen didn't play varsity in those days) averaging 10 ppg and shooting 68% from the field, and, of course, playing excellent defense.
I didn’t realize he came off the bench that year.
 
Damn Otto Petty.


Fucking hate him.

I have only had the same dream twice in my life -- I'm driving a taxi and Otto Petty jumps into the back seat, holds a knife to my neck and makes me drive him somewhere...thankfully I have awakened both times before we reached our destination.
 
I thought defensive effort waxed and waned against the Bonnies but when it was on, we showed we can be a strong defensive squad. Jarin can bring a ton on the defensive end with his length and athleticism and last night the effort was there.
 
Comments from inside the building…
My son got to take a picture with Psycho T and an auto before the game. Saw Ginyard walking around the building. Bonnie fans were into it and friendly.
Lighting was horrific. I wonder how it felt on the court, but it was just weird from the stands.

Play: Simmons was incredibly fast and shifty. Why did our guys close-out on him with a hand down so many times? Mitchell was tuff. Strong, crafty. A good player. Reminded me of Justin Knox.

Luka - Too much dribbling into nowhere. Had some nice assists and great shooter, but way too much pounding the ball. He’s also super slow. Stevenson was solid. Caleb looked like he was forcing it a bit. He got bailed out by the refs on a few occasions. I’m still feeling like Dixon might be the best PG by the end of the year. He looks the part more than Evans. Evans can shoot, but doesn’t look super confident running the team.

Good win against a solid team that was really focused on playing hard and competing.
If you thought the lighting was bad inside the building, you should try rewatching the game on TV. It is the worst lighting of a court I have ever seen.

Yeah, it looked awful. Looked like they were playing in a warehouse.
 
Starters were

Wuycik
Chamberlain
McAdoo
Karl
Previs

Jones subbed in for any/all of the frontcourt men. Kim Huband was the backcourt sub. That was a very versatile team that lost in the Final Four.
Bobby Jones made the 1972 Olympic Team having not started in college.
