Miller looks to be playing with the kind of confidence he showed in the Bahamas

I spend a good bit of time watching the 4's as they are the new guys on the floor, and I like what I'm seeing. Teams aren't going to be able to leave them alone

Kalk has not looked good at all today, hopefully he picks it up in the second half.

Wheeler Thomas had a great first half.

Miss R2 on lobs.
NDState made a lot of tough shots.
I do not think Kalk looks bad. Offense just isn’t going through him effectively. He was there on those lobs. If they are better thrown, he has 10 points and we think he looks fine.
Kalk’s defense is so good. Bison have an all-conference level post player. When King was in, they attacked the paint with him. With Kalk in, one post pass maybe? He causes other teams to move away from their strengths.
Can’t say anything bad about our bench and supporting guys. Francisco, Fred, Isaac and Mason all were net positives.
Trey and Baylor were next level.
Ashworth a little careless on occasion. Keep shooting.
The half felt EH, yet up double digits.

the lobs aren't going through because they're crowding Kalk as he rolls to the rim. That's why we had countless good looks from mid-range.
He needs more touches in the post.

some of that is how they are playing him, but I would like to see him be more active (and us to actively look for him more) even if he's getting doubled
D started out pretty poor, but seemed to get a bit better as the half went on at least

Looks like the coaches had the same idea we did with getting Kalk the ball more

I think Kalk is okay.

That escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
