He chose to sit most of first half. Coach S was not happy when Ray took himself out.

 

Why did he take himself out?

Would it be unfair to say the young man seems lack a fire to be great?

 

He got hurt.

Didn't know when a player got hurt he was obligated to play. I'm pretty sure he also wants to be at 100% for next weeks tournament.

Agreed,,,He limped off of the floor , went to the locker room.. Returned to sit on bench with ice on the ankle, Started the second half and played until game was put away with about 3 minutes left in game. He changes the game, but will have to assert him self more at the next level..

I'm assuming you're talking about the offensive end. Much like last year its hard to "assert yourself" when you're posting hard and always calling for it and all you get is a ball fake.

Not unfair at all. I said it this past summer and I'll say it again, he lacks the fire to be great and will never be a factor at Louisville.

Im still miffed at how the Colonels go from playing the #1 Team in the state to playing Bellevue. :ohbrother:

Don't get why they are playing this game. Neither team will get much from it.

They are playing St. Xavier in Louisville tomorrow (Saturday).

I also thought T should have gotten him the ball more down low where was effective. He played about half a quarter in the first half before he hurt his ankle. He did not play again until he returned to start the second half and helped T get the good run. It seemed that he 3 blocks in the 90 seconds before he got hurt. He is very quick for a kid his size...gets a lot of steals. I didn't think Trinity was as sharp as they might be later. Maybe still adjusting to the loss of Ivory (now at Austin Peay, I believe) and Craig Owens. CCH gave them all they wanted.

Easy, Tiger.

It will be interesting to see how much they rely on him next week vs sierra canyon.

Easy, Tiger.
