In the second half, we came out flat, and they capitalized.<br /><br />Poor shot selection killed us in the second half. It was obvious that Shan got frustrated and was trying desperately to find his rhythm. When the momentum shifted, Byars also took a couple of questionable threes. We didn't win the first half shooting from behind the arc (1-8), we won the first half playing our, game, creating lanes, and making great passes for easy 2s. Once we allowed Florida to dictate the pace, that pretty much killed our ability to score consistently, and it didn't help that we couldn't capitalize from the free throw line either.<br /><br />I think Alan Metcalfe's performance might have gotten lost in the disappointment of losing the game. While his stat line wasn't overly impressive, (8 points, 4 rebounds) you saw some intangibles with the guy that I thought were very impressive. He got himself into some foul trouble, but I think this Vandy team benefits greatly from his size.<br /><br />Also, George Drake is raw, but that guy is going to be a great player for the 'Dores in the near future. He had a couple of very athletic moves to the bucket that I was impressed with.<br /><br />Finally, Ted Skuchas should avoid all Al Horford two handed dunk impersonations, as he received the most embarrasing of rejections on what should have been an easy two points.Stanimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068492073488859014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-65324517812295126992007-02-01T08:36:00.000-06:002007-02-01T08:36:00.000-06:00Great effort by Vandy.
