In response to your thoughts, Pony_Fan...
Maybe Dement is giving Niemi an opportunity to shine and be a leader down low since this is his last year. Mike has a lot of enthusiasm and brings a spark to the team. Dement also might be trying to push Castro a little, starting Niemi might be a motivational factor.
I think Damon's patented drive and shoot is starting to wear away a little, although he still does it a lot.
What we are missing is the perimeter shooting. Last year and years before Sasser would consistently drain a couple threes and when he didn't Q would light up or someone else. We need that consistent shooter like Sasser. Miller and Voc might be that answer, but they are hurt. Elsey was the answer, but he is in Waco now.
Overall, good game tonight, but it should not have been so close at times.
Let me guess, the frats and sororities had parties at 7:30, so they took the rain check. Rogers was there with face paint and won a DVD player. He never ceases to amaze me.
