- After struggling with turnovers in the opener against Ferris State, the Flyers did a great job controlling and protecting the ball tonight. UD only committed 6 turnovers on the night and only one of those came from the Flyer point guards. This was a major point of concern after last Tuesday's game and it was clearly addressed by BG in practice.
- Chris Wright and Marcus Johnson were in game action for the first time this year and both looked impressive. Marcus had 13 points and Chris added 11 to pace the Flyers attack. Marcus looked very impressive coming off of curls and hitting the mid-range jumper consistently. Chris struggled shotting the ball but that will come as he gets more reps.
- Offensively the point play for the Flyers was pretty impressive with Mickey scoring 11 points and London scoring 4. London also added 9 assists and only had one turnover, a key for the Flyers. Mickey struggled defensively against the short and quick point guard for NKU Scott Bibbins. Mickey who is more of a true shooting guard does not have the quickness of London Warren to keep up with fast point guards. This could be something to keep an eye on as the season progresses.
-Josh Benson and Matt Kavanaugh had rather uneventful games. Josh had 4 points but was quiet on the offensive end. Kavanaugh had zero points but did contribute with 5 rebounds, many of them coming late in the game.
-On the inside Kurt and Devin played decently scoring 6 points a piece. Although Kurt wasn't overly impressive, he was able to convert the easy baskets for the most part. Devin looked good offensively and even showed some range knocking down an open jumper just inside the three point line.
Overall I'd say the Flyers looked improved from the game against Ferris State but still have some work that needs to be done before Saturday.
