I am feeling more and more comfortable with Landen on the floor. I like his demeanor and he showed some good strength on two occasions with and-ones, making both free throws. On the slow motion replay, the second one showed the ball and hand getting jarred with him not losing control. It was a very strong move. There was at least one other time when he got an offensive rebound, but brought it down too far and was stripped. All in all, a pretty good effort, in my opinion.

I was typing as you posted, Newtonhawk. (Been happening several times with us lately, LOL--guess we think alike!)

Anyway, I couldn't agree more. And as for your point:

On the slow motion replay, the second one showed the ball and hand getting jarred with him not losing control. It was a very strong move.


That was on the pivotal play of the game, actually, that I mentioned. It was a super strong move in that he easily could've lost the handle at the rim given the force of the foul. Not only did me finish, but then hit the crucial free throw to give us really important breathing room and turn the tide.

He also banged like a mug tonight against Sasquatch--who has to be the toughest draw in the paint among any players in the freaking NCAA!

Very proud of him, as I am of all the Hawks tonight.

I was thinking the same thing regarding the like-mindedness. I'm honored.

Lol at your "Sasquatch reference.

Very solid effort and should build confidence moving forward.
