Post-game thread- BU 74 SIUE 58

Dallas Brave said:
Zach and Matt had better improve their free throw shooting pretty fast. It is bound to cost us a couple of close games this year. I would think that a 60% FT shooting percentage is the mimimum acceptable level for those two.

Also, to me, Zach still seems a bit undisciplined in his play. I thought he got a bit careless in the 2nd half of the DePaul game and there were certainly some out-of-control moments last night. But ... I love his energy and exuberance and realize it comes with a price.

Personally, I thought ZA did a good job of remaining under control in the DePaul game, but thought he got VERY lazy and careless last night in the 2nd half. I think seeing how small and unathletic SIU-E was caused him to think he could block every shot and not have to abide by his defensive fundamentals. I think JL noted that much more emphatically in a few timeouts last night. ;)

Salley needs to stop playing like one on offense. He seems like he's starting to 'get it' defensively, and does rebound well. However, he's very weak with the ball on offense, and doesn't make strong, decisive moves to the basket. He misses more short shots than anyone I can remember, and that includes Michael Stewart. Dave and Coach noted several times last night that Salley just threw the ball at the basket, and I agree. He needs to stop being so passive and get an aggressive mean-streak in him. I think he has more offensive skill than ZA, but is certainly missing that 'take no prisoners' attitude.
