Also, I really liked what I saw from Jeremy Hayes. Good effort when he was on the court. Should be a solid contributor

I like the way Hayes attacks the basket and finishes. Of course it is tough to tell much against an outmanned opponent. However, just as in most games last season they did a good job of sharing the basketball. I don't recall many games where we have shot over 60 percent regardless of competition. Defense was lacking at times but that was usually when we subbed quite a bit. I noticed after VI scored on a few consecutive possessions, timeout was called. Shortly after that Stroman went back into the game and suddenly we started getting stops again. He is the leader of the team. Of course going on the road vs 2 Top 10 teams as we are about to do is a whole different animal. What I want to see is how they respond when those teams make a run and their crowd gets into it. Do they have enough mental tougness to continue to fight at those points and the focus to play the way you are supposed to.

The ladies OT gave me time to watch part of Kansas’ game with Michigan State. There’s always a chance, but wow, they’re very long, fast and good. Deserving of the #1 ranking.

We will struggle with rebounding if Gant is the only player chasing missed shots. Davis and Marquetti must help in this area, otherwise we struggle.

What's scary is Duke would probably crush them by 20

Ditto. Looks like he will fill that Jonathan Stove roll this year.

.......So what did you guys think about Tet Rouge? He runs the court pretty good but needs some weight room and muscle milk.....Hope he can turn into a big man we have been missing for years!

Gonna have to platoon the rebounding this year. Everyone is going to have to get in there and block out and fight for those. I don't think there is a "big" lineup we can rely on to lock down on the defensive end and count on for rebounds.
