App State postgame - Finally!

Well, we finally put it all together and got a W. It feels good!!!!

All the elements were there. Maybe the most complete game this team has played this year. The defense has had two good games in a row now. Maybe we have turned the corner. Holding App State to under 30% from the arc is huge! That is Shields defense.

We won the battle of the boards. Our starting front line were all on their games. We did not shoot the three well, but we did not need to because we were making our shots inside. And 10 of 10 from the line, led by Ben Dillard's 5 for 5.

Game ball to Big Gus Leeper. 6 of 10 with 5 rebounds and a block in only 18 minutes, and only one foul. If we can start getting those kinds of minutes from Gus, all kinds of good things can happen.

I like how that Shields kept his starting five in the game for more minutes. All of them had at least 24 minutes and two of them had 30. And the bench still provided 22 points.

Right now I am very proud of this team. They could have got there dobbers down after the tough loss against Texas State, but they came back with a vengeance. Go Trojans!
