Thoughts on 57-73

  • Delaney was a little rusty protecting the ball. Nine turnovers are triple his 3.0 TO/game average last year. Otherwise he didn't miss a beat. Like last season, he carried us offensively. I thought he did a fantastic job of penetrating and drawing fouls. That's something he's going to have to keep doing, and do more of so we can keep pace with our opponents going forward.
  • Jarell Eddie came off the bench and contributed big minutes. That's just what highly recruited players need to do. He has the potential to be a stud.
  • We got out rebounded 42-33. Ouch.
  • Until we get more bigs that can play or learn to go small, we're going to be in trouble in every game where Jeff Allen is in foul trouble. Right now we're still figuring things out.
  • Bell played 23 minutes and didn't score a point. Double Ouch.
  • It's only November.

My Keys to the season

-Terrell Bell contributing, if he doesn't contribute we won't win, 30-35 mins, 6-8 pts, 6-10 reb, 1-2 blocks, stays out of foul trouble
-Raines coming back healthy. Wouldn't surprise me that IF he is healthy he starts over Davilla come February. Extremely big if, as I have my doubts.
-Jeff Allen stays away from the stupid foul/throwing bows
-Eddie continues learning how to play aggresive and smart Defense
-Getting anything out of Green, hasn't impressed me in 2 games so far. Garland will have a chance to step up if Green continues to not impress.
