Just to echo some other posters' thoughts, I thought Mo looked pretty good. He's got a lot more agility. There was a lot more attacking the boards, by Mo and our two fours, which was very encouraging. Granted, there was a lot less beef in the Concordia frontcourt, but still. I liked what I saw from both King and Oto. Both attacked the boards, both looked pretty aggressive around the bucket, and both were competent on D. Dre Hollins was his normal incredibly smooth self, but I do think he's going to struggle on D at times. Dre Mathieu is a more natural fit in this defensive system, and I really like what he's giving the team right now. Obviously, Hollins (both of them) are the offensive engine of this team, but I like how balanced we are. Malik Smith has seemed kind of lost out there. Hope he starts to fit in quickly. Buggs is a non-factor right now. He has absolutely no idea where to be on the court. If you see him in a game this year, watch where he goes, and where he's looking. It's kind of comical. Hopefully he gets it all figured out, because he has athleticism we're sorely lacking right now (I REALLY miss Trevor and Rodney). Elliot LOVES complaining about the refs. I love his hustle, but that intentional foul was not a good look. Kind of a dirty play. All in all, I thought this game went better than the last one, but it's clear there's going to be quite the adjustment period. I'm adjusting my expectations downward a little. I still think we've got an outside shot at an NCAA berth, but at this point, I'm just hoping for postseason play of any kind. Oh, and Reid, of course.
