The good: the improved play from Keely and Ivo, who showed a nice fadeaway jumper as well as an up-and-under, left-handed finger roll; the all-around play of Cooper, easily the best player on the floor despite being one of the smallest, if not smallest. Can't wait to see Cooper leading the fast break with Washington and Baltic filling the lanes, waiting for the alley-oop; and after hearing TOS and Groce tease us every October about a more running style only to watch the team slow it down once the rotation was pared down, it finally looks to me like this year's team might actually have the numbers and athletes to play more of a fullcourt, up-and-down game.
The bad: I missed the second basket of the second half, an Ivo bucket off a feed from Coop (I believe) because the kids around me were scrambling for one of the coupons drifting from the catwalk. After all the commotion, my wife shows me a Rocky Boots coupon with an expiration date of June, 2010; the continued request from PA announcer for fans to remain standing until opponent's first basket (I noticed Jeff and Steve participating obediently).
The ugly: the entire staff at The Pub wearing an o$u shirts.
