Well, that was refreshing after a hell of a week surrounding the program and school as a whole. The Red Raiders looked like they should against extremely inferior competition, without Daniel Batcho.
KJ Allen looked really good, as did quite a few guys, and whether it’s a trend for Allen against bad competition or if he’ll be the real deal come conference play is yet to be seen. He’s been great over the past two games, and I wonder if he’s done enough to crack the 15–20-minute threshold against quality competition.
Kevin Obanor has sneakily led this team throughout the season and did it again before D’Maurian Williams scored 17 in the second half. Obanor’s 15.3 per game this season has seemed to go under-the-radar and he’s been steady after his somewhat slow start in November.
Pop Isaacs had his worst game of the season with an 0-5 showing from deep and 2-8 from the field. It didn’t matter and if he’s going to have an off game, it’s a good thing that it is this one.
Lamar Washington got extensive run again. Seems like he’ll be apart of the rotation come NYE in Ft. Worth. He was efficient from the field but had a couple of moments on defense.
I was happy to see Elijah Fisher and Kerwin Walton get some playing time. Fisher going 2-6 from FT wasn’t great but he was better otherwise. Walton didn’t do a whole lot, but it was good to see him out there after only a few minutes in the past few and an absence against Eastern Washington. If either of these guys can develop, especially Fisher, it would be great for the length and quality of this team’s depth.
It was refreshing to see this team take care of business and quiet the noise a bit and we will see if they can do it again on Wednesday afternoon at home against Houston Christian.
