New season. New faces. Similar brand of basketball and same roster concerns. Bleh.
Certainly not the same team as last year. Carter,s return will make a huge difference. The ball movement was very good. The new ball handlers, Preston,, Cowart and James, look confident and capable and Vander Plas appears to have size and skills. Gollon should fit right in and the world won’t come to an end if Dartis doesn’t return. If he does, we might be quite good.
Most impressive however was the defensive effort. Campbell shot the lights out in the first half but there weren’t many gimmes. The law of averages caught up with them in the second half and the defensive pressure made a difference.
It’s too soon to get overly optimistic but it is also way too soon to label them with a “bleh.”
