last year every time he touched the ball you'd hear the Keeeeeeth chant-think that's what mrydel's talking about. Really kind of tiresome. Not the kids fault

So if nobody cheers for him, he'll do better?

Of course not, but keep making everything a negative. I am just saying I do not think he handles the pressure that has been put on him very well. I do not have the answer. Either he learns to handle it or he may not be the star we want him to be. But it might help if the press would quit touting him as the great pipeline pied piper, and we treated him a one of the team rather than a prima donna.

He definitely is trying too hard to live up to the expectations. You can see how hard he takes making a mistake and you can see he puts pressure on himself. Once he loosens up a bit,he will be fine.

I like he is still upbeat and a team guy.

The best thing I saw him do was when the Lamar guy had the three foil shots and missed the first to badly, Keith went up to him and gave him a slap on the backside. Pretty classy. The kid made his next free throw.

I am pulling for him - he shows that he was raised right and he is a great team player. He will have a break out game before the season is done.

When he is in sync his shot is beautiful.

I loved the way he casually, lightly tossed in his 3 FTs. Child's play. He WILL be great!

the guy went for double digits - not like it was a horrible game or anything. THought he looked a little better on D - and definitely got more in sync as the game went on.

Even though it was a ridiculous mismatch there was plenty to like going forward.

The play of all three bigs was great. Yes, it will be harder against larger and more talented teams but all three were solid. Ben Moore is taking it to the next level. Yanick has much to offer. Cannen will be solid.

Martin and Emelogou will open up the inside for the bigs and the cutters. Add Nic and Keth and there should be four guys who can drill the three enough to keep the floor spread.

The free throw shooting was solid as was the team D.

We'll be pretty damn good.

Concerns: No solid backup for Nic (DUH?)

Has anyone seen Sterling Brown? I don't think he was there last night. My only concern.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic. He just didn't seem really involved in the game to me - 18 minutes, 0-2 from the field with no points. He did have a few rebounds and assists.

Sorry I missed the sarcasm. I did not notice him for a while because he has grown his hair out. I thought Crandell Head had stayed around for a while.

It has grown out. The surprising thing to me is when I watched a practice he really stood out. He was vocal and aggressive on offense. The complete opposite of last night.
