louisiana vs loyola

Brian Williams looked shaky at the start, but he played very well to close the half and improved more into the second half. He will be the do-it-all guy for this team. Scoring, Rebounding, Defense, & Leadership. He will fill the stat sheet up...stay tuned

You have to remember he was playing more of the 4 position last night when he will mainly play the 3

----I think that Shepherd is a better offensive player than EP---Faster, same ball skills, getting better and better at distribution, leading rebounder last night, and FT, 3 pt, and intermediate much much better!! Now on the defensive side it isn't close!!!

I tell you what Bryce Washington sure does look good! Great vision with his passing, Always hustling, good touch on offensive end! This kid will be a very good player for us

This was my biggest take away from the game. Kid has a high basketball IQ. Should really help us going forward.
I thought
Stove did a good job as well. 1 and 2 guards were out of control most of the night but that should improve with real game play.

Stove and Washington both showed they have the potential to be solid contributors this year. Stove can get to the basketball while Washington has the body and basketball smarts to play inside at this level. Game plan was to go inside all night and eventually that was successful. A few times I thought we should have thrown it back out after driving as there was a lot of congestion in the lane early in the game. Coach Marlin got on the refs about this and then a few fouls started being called. Once Brian Williams and Stove calmed down and let the game come to them they were effective. Also, Jay Wright was impressive with his defensive quickness. I was OK with a 27 point win as our two inside starters did not play and neither did our first big guy off the bench. Another tuneup awaits on Friday Nov. 14 with Louisiana College. Note, this is not an exhibition but will count on the record despite the fact Louisiana College is not a D1 school. First game against D1 competition is at Tulsa on Monday Nov. 17. That game is on ESPN3.
