A win against a poor team but still a win. Not much to add to Cindy's analysis except to underline that we are a much better team in transition than in half-court offense. This was JD's stated intention prior to the season and IMO a depleated bench (Lampley, Shumate) shouldn't change that strategy. What it does is to allow Wesley and Nick to free lance, getting more open looks and possible drives to the basket. Not that this strategy will transform us into a decent team but it atleast makes us competitive against teams where we should compete.


Agree about Costner's contribution. Played excellent fronting defense and showed good passing skills. However, I don't see Jordan as a long term solution but rather a very valuable role player if and when we recruit a scoring #3.



Hill again showed why he should be our starting point guard but remember that when out of the game (played 24 minutes), Leon (34 minutes) ran the offense quite well often breaking the press by pushing the ball up court. Never saw him get trapped as was his tendency last year. The fact is that when both are in the game we almost have two point guards on the floor. One agressive (Leon) and prone to turnovers but a scorer, the other more conservative, not as quick but more under control. A nice combination. Leon is not afraid to take the ball to the basket and was clobbered several times but went to the foul line to convert. His eight rebounds underlines his agressive style of play.


As Cindy stated, the entire team played well and one hopes that this is a confidence and morale builder. It still promises to be a very long and disappointing season but there are some winable games out there. In attendance were both Conoly and Shumate.
