Looking forward to seeing if Scola can get to 30 FGAs. He's at 24 FGAs in 26 mins.

Well that's because he'll be playing against legit NBA bigs and not a bunch of scrubs.

Nice defense.

lol. Scola going for 50? He's clearly looking for his own shot as often as possible, but he's shredding our terrible interior defense.

Putting Sacre on Scola might not be a bad idea, he might have trouble backing him down in the post.

Despite the glaring weaknesses, a close game isn't a bad thing at this point in the tournament; keeps the boys sharp, lets triano test some out-of-bounds plays, keeps our egos in check, etc
