Everyone Happy Now?

[Dr. Blackheart]

The biggest competition on the court right now is for playing time.  MU is going to be a tough match-up team to prepare for this year.  I still don't know who will eventually start at the end of the year, except Lazar and Jimmy.  We can fill it up, that is for sure.  One thing I love about Buzz's team is he stresses high energy offense.  Fun to watch. 

It was also great to see a good defensive effort last night, although defense won't be a strength.  Better positioning, I thought.  Buzz is a teacher.

Regardless of how bad Grambling is, I was happy to see a number of things last night. 

1.  EWill getting in the game and producing.  A dunk is a nice way to start a career and good confidence builder for him.  Who knows what Buzz was saying to him during the timeout, but I suspect that Buzz has high hopes for Erik which is why he is giving him such a hard time.
2.  Otule getting the start - he must really be improving in practice and we are going to need him starting Thanksgiving day
3.  Mbao getting a taste of D1 ball in his first game......although he needs to get stronger and more aggressive in the interior
4.  It has definitely been a cup-cake schedule thus far (what else is new), but we are taking care of business and then some.  Even when MU had the 3 amigos there were plenty of cup-cakes that we should have destroyed but only won by 10-20.  That being said, this team really moves the ball around trying to find the open man.....and they are knocking down the open shots with consistency!  We have yet to play an opponent worthy enough to tell us how good MU actually is, but I'm pretty happy with how the team is playing thus far......they have exceeded my expectations! 

Bring on Xavier!

Last night was my first time seeing Mbao and I was impressed with his speed getting up/down the court.  Probably won't equate to much this season, but atleast he didn't look like a complete stiff.

When is the last time we had a 7 footer on his first D1 play catch pivot and pass out of the post for an assist.  Mbao is 25 lbs away from being a superstar and will play in the League

Warm and fuzzy just to know the latest 8th place banner will soon be hoisted to the top of Assembly Hall.
