Cat's win 82-68.
We went up by 16 in the first half-blew that-trailed by one at halftime and were down by as much as 6 early in the second half. The defense locked them down in the latter half of the second half and Rush and Bynum slashed to the hoop numerous times to get layups.
This is a nice win against a capable Canadian team. They could really shoot it-though they cooled off towards the end.
We have much better chemistry than last season-Rush and Bynum especially worked well together. Those two guys are our best players. Austin Brown at the 4 spot was intriguing. He's smaller but he can jump so well and he's quick. I was really impressed with him.
Brandon Johnson seems to have reverted back to his regular season shooting form-multiple bricks from outside. Oh well-I'm sure he'll hit everything against Weber again.
I like our quickness. If they stay focused on the defensive end we should be okay.
