I’ll admit, it’s not easy to stay fully engaged during this portion of the schedule. If it’s difficult getting up as a fan for North Alabama, think about the temptation for the players to ease up a bit. That hasn’t been the case though for the Zags so far in another strong game against an overmatched team. Here’s what I took away from Friday night’s game against the Lions:
- Rui Hachimura and Brandon Clarke seem to have better synergy when they play their two-man game in the paint. It’s not like they were ever bad together, but after 2 months of game action to really get a feel for how to play as an interior duo, their positioning relative to the other looks to be occurring much more naturally.
