I’m still smiling ’bout last night’s game…
For the record…
In my mind, when you get outrebounded 39 -31 and only have 4 steals and your opponent gets 84 points and only makes 8 turnovers that’s not exactly stellar defense. Hustle and Defense are not the same things. Hustle necessarily comes first however, and we should see Defense continue to improve steadily as the Team comes together…
On the other end of the court, however, for any squad who lost 80% of their offense from the previous season, with a new Coach and a bunch of new guys to score 90 pts this early in the season while playing small ball against a BIG team is most impressive, especially when you consider that the great majority of those were from the set offense against two 7 footers!
It’s too early to drink the Kool-Aid, but as noted in multiple places above, this TEAM is going to be fun to watch, except on those 3 or 4 nights in January and February when they’re gonna break our hearts…
Now I’m wondering if either Uncle Roy or Coach Rat watched the game… and I’m hoping our Football Coaches and Team are channeling some of this TEAM’s confidence and composure into Saturday’s game at Carter Stadium.
GO PACK!
