Great to have Ben back! Cuff is one of the best - should be starting - makes everyone around him better, and his offense is getting better and better. Bailley should start. Why? Because when he finally gets in he is too impatient, tries too hard, needs to feel a part of the game early. Someone please teach Toumi how to shoot a free throw - he could add so much to our score. Is it possible for someone to "practice" his way to improvement? The right players in at the right time and we could really have a competitive team - I feel like our biggest problem is the choice of players and too much subbing which breaks up the flow of the game. We're pretty good when we get things going, play faster, pass more accurately, and put guys in place to score. Winning feels good to us fans, Just think how a team firing on all cylinders makes our team feel! Confidence and energy go a long way on success on both ends of the floor. Go ACES! I love reading your posts because you know how to form a sentence, punctuate and spell.

Nice drive by Thomas to end the half. That blew my mind on why Rags didn't sub out Thomas and Strawbridge with better shooters,then Thomas scores.

I will respectfully disagree with your assessment that Bailey should be starting, and the reason is everything you stated in your post. He does get too impatient, and makes bad decisions, thusly, putting too much weight on his own shoulders that doesn’t need to be. This was on display several times last night as he forced up several shots that were not clean looks, or dribbled his way into a spot that he couldn’t get out of resulting in either a bad pass, or a worse shot. His rocket pass to Toumi from 2 feet away was an excellent example of him trying to do too much. Now, that said, when he relaxes, whether starting, or coming off the bench, he has a great all around game, and could be one of the best in the valley, but has anyone noticed FOY talk has really dropped off since Valley play has started? Well, his numbers have dropped way off too. The one area I would really like to see him really improve next year is playing to contact, forcing the officials to make the call, and getting to the free throw line. With the way the officiating crew was calling it, that game was ready made for Chuck to live at the free throw line. I do love Chuck’s game, and I know that as he gets older and matures, and it all slows down for him, a lot of the mistakes we see from him now will disappear. But for now, if I was him, I would pick at the brain of Tanner and Ben, learn to play that “old man” game, and watch how far it can take him.

You seem to be hung up on the starters and what they are doing is working. They tried Bailey as a starter and that didn’t work, that was the beat down at Drake and he was in foul trouble. Bailey has regressed in my opinion over the last couple of weeks with numerous shots blocked and several turnovers, I like him as a player, but still needs to learn to pick his spots. Toumi is like Shaq in my opinion, he just does not have it from the free throw line, but he has improved immensely around the basket, he is a force in the paint. I hope you can enjoy these victories and realize that they have improved this year. The Aces are heading in the right direction!

Post game interviews with Rags.
Pretty cool that he honored his dad with pancreatic cancer awareness night. He had his dads image printed on the back of his shirt that he wore to coach last night too.

Never realized until tonight that Josh can't guard anyone on the perimeter, he was beat so many times and it allowed his man to get a interior shit.

Bailey needs to mature a lot. He does not seem to be getting any better. Hopefully if he is around next year it will come to him. Old question but I can not remember does Ben have another year to play here?

"Old question but I can not remember does Ben have another year to play here?"
I believe Ben was a redshirt his Freshman year (2020-21) at Huntington college, so he only used 2 years eligibility prior to coming here. With that being stated, even if he played in 2020-21, that was considered the Covid year and he would still be eligible to play next year.
