Really impressive that all 11 players scored and had at least one assist and 10 of the 11 who played had at least one rebound. Lopsided game but one that required some coaching adjustments as Prairie View came to play and gave us a scare in that 1st half. Will be interesting to see how they fare in the SWAC this year. Exceptionally quick team that is going to upset someone if they can hit threes for a full 40 minutes
