XJ with his 4th assist on a selfless pass to Davis who knocks down the 3.
X is having a hell of a half, not just scoring but distributing
.
I'll say it right now, if Davis continues to shoot like this, this team's ceiling is much higher than originally thought. And while I hate to see any "scrums", I love the toughness by Davis. Also, LOVE the no call by the refs !!

Davis is gonna have to get better driving to the rim to be a more complete player, which I think he'll get better at over the offseason. His shot has impressed me so far.
I didn't know X could distribute like this
SIU 40
Austin Peay 31
Halftime
Xavier Johnson with 14 points, 6 assists
Kennard Davis with 9 points, 4 rebounds
It's the little things.............. so Ebube hasn't played a single minute tonight, and yet there he is, not sulking on the bench, still engaged, etc. I've said the same thing about the other guys too. Speaking of the bench, only 7 players saw the floor in the first half. Interesting.
KD is going to be a stud
Yes. The fact that his 3-point shot is coming along bodes very well because his defense and tenacity to come up with 50-50 balls already make him a guy Mullins wants on the floor … a lot. Really hope he and AJ can play together some when AJ is back.
KD is going to be a stud
My thoughts too. He'll have bumps this year for sure. But getting increasing minutes as a true freshman under Mullins is a really good sign
Why does Troy not take a 4 footer?
Rupert's free throw shooting looks much better this year. He's just catching and shooting
X's passing tonight has been awesome. So much attention on him because he's the 2nd leading scorer in the country and he's making everyone around him better
I feel like our D has been spotty today. A few good possessions then some real head scratchers on rotations. This year our offense is good enough to make up for it. I know Mullins hasn’t been happy.
I like the extended minutes for Miller here. That could make a difference later in the season (conference).
