Troy postgame

A terrible half and a very good half translates into a badly-needed win. Someone must have given one outstanding halftime speech in the locker room!

Double-double for Roger Woods. We are going to need a lot more of those from him. Gus gave us 31 solid minutes. When was the last time he played that many minutes in a game?

Josh and Ben were making their 3's tonight; good to have the shooting eye back. (Nothing like coming home, is there?) We shot 42% from the arc and held them to 33%. That's more like it! And it was not just from the line that we were making shots. We hit 47% overall.

The bench contributed well. Nice to see Jerron Washington giving us some quality minutes, pulling down three rebounds in six minutes of playing time. We won the battle of the boards by 2, mainly because of Woods and some outstanding rebounding by the guards. Among them, Hagins, Smith and Reid had 16 boards.

Only eight turnovers. Outstanding! That is one area where this team has been really good.

Game ball to Devonte Smith. His numbers were good, and what a difference he made in the second half!
