Alcorn State is tough tough! Talk about playing tough defense! I was concerned about our ability to make easy shots but there weren't many of those. Givance is a fine floor general, but offensively I am afraid we may be playing with the points needing to come from other than him. I reminded myself that much of our firepower was not on the floor for much of the game.
I thought the game was determined when they called the foul on the three-point shot and they could see that it was a shit call that was going to be the game, so they called the technical which was bullshit to tie it up. But it was a barnburner of a game. Alcorn State is going to win a lot of games with their defense.
I wondered as we played who would win a game between this Miner team and last years with Golding at the helm of both teams. It is early and tough to say based on a few games, but Boum was special. I think Givance will be very good at what he does, but the offense is going to give the dge to Boum. Sibley, Kalu, and Onyema are a push. So, it is Frazier, Solomon, De Los Anjos, and the others that have to be as good as those who left.
