Hopefully K Green can guard big men. When is he eligible to play?

We just beat Richmond by 25!  If we beat the Bonnies, national attention will follow.  The team I saw today is top 25.  Smith was explosive, I love his athleticism.

And no T's for the first time in three games.

We should move up in the polls this week, but we'll need to beat both St. Bonnie and Bobby Morris (and maybe Memphis) before they'll start taking us seriously.

My family and I made the trip down from Cleveland for the game, as I wanted to see us play one of the top teams on our non-conference schedule.  We snuck down to the student section and literally sat courtside.  Here were my impressions:

First half - we had some unforced errors on offense, but I would credit a spirited Richmond defense.  They were a step ahead of us.  We had trouble containing their own big guy.  I was a little disappointed to see some arguing amongst our players.  Keely seemed really bothered with the guards not getting him the ball.  Richmond did a great job denying Kellogg from getting going.  Walt made some nice plays to keep us close.  And TJ Hall played some nice minutes when our other bigs got in foul trouble.  He is a very versatile player

In the second half, we picked up the effort defensively and made sharper passes around the perimeter.  Once the first three pointer went down, the floodgates opened for us.  And we were very focused on the loose balls and rebounds.  This team is so deep that one guy can be off (Keely) and someone else can pick him up (Smith/Hall).

I like what I see from this team....having been here during the Trent years, I appreciate the balance we play with now. 

Great stuff today - Go Bobcats!

I think me and my boys may have been sitting next to '97 Cat.

The 1st half just set me up to be amazed by the 2nd half.  The Spiders wern't allowing any good looks from any distance, and we adjusted well.  I thought early on that this felt like an Offutt kind of game and it was...his agressive drives and ability to draw the fouls helped.

This team can go thru "stagnant" periods that can make us fall behind or let teams back in, but they are far from prone to give up big runs...most likely because of our outstanding defense.  On the flipside, we can explode on a team with massive runs that can put the game away in a hurry...we have done it in every game thus far.

Brothers may have had some success scoring on our bigs bbut he got owned on the boards.  #22 Robbins had a terible game.
