Oh, how I long for the days when we were complaining about the basketball team not all wearing the same shoes, or their shorts being too long.

I know that this has been said 100 times, but we've got 1 senior, a couple of juniors, and all of the rest are freshmen & sophmores. What we want to see is progress from the beginning of the season through the tournament. We have flashes of brilliance, then the inexperience comes out. We are not too far from being very good...........but it ain't going to be this year. We need to keep everyone with the team, then add a few more good freshmen next year. I hate being patient, but it "is what it is" right now.

The loss of Brown's brilliant defense past the Michigan State game coupled with game day managements sacrificing of Mr Mbamalu . . . and we have what we have.

I would put the trio of Payton, Mbamalu and Long up against any threesome from any other team in the league. They are as good as any in the Sun Belt.

The rest of the team is young and although they have had their moments, they have also had nights when they have played like freshmen.

Injuries have also hurt as six different players have missed a total of 38 games this season.

Six of the next eight are at home with road games left at UL-Monroe and Troy so the prospects for a strong finish exist.

Still a good ways off from being a "very" good team.
