The transition to the young guys has started. Dia has potential to be something special, Harp had a really good game, and Malone is sneaky good. We still suck at the fast break although the kids are better at it, Killen still cannot look up and see the big men down low when they are open early, and Roberts is the unluckiest player I have ever seen. I worry about how we are going to look come conference time but I did see some long term potential out there. The young players will attack the basket and boy does that feel good after the last couple of years of watching players hang around the 3 point line. Got a long way to go and I hope Doherty has the patience to teach them and not grind them up into dust...........

I thought the team played pretty well also. I think Papa might have had his break out game, or at least I hope so. I like how our scoring was pretty spaced out among the team. One thing that I saw from my spot right behind the SMU bench was after PQ went on that 6-0 run to start the second and Doh was screaming and droping the F bomb at least 15 times and screaming at Papa, he turned on the jets and played with a bunch of heart and determination from there. I thought the defense was pretty bad, especially giving PQ so many open looks to shoot the three ball. Gotta work on the free throws.
