I have to say that I’m really excited about what we’ve seen so far. Of course, UCLA will give as a real good idea just how far we have come. We did stay in the game with them last year for about 30 minutes before we fell apart. Maybe this year we go the whole 40.

Wasn’t the free throw shooting just amazing! I’ve never seen anything like that!

Let’s give Merrit a hand. He has really improved and looks to be a servicable PG. Gibson looks much betterr as well. The biggest difference to me is that the don’t play like pansies like we have over the last five years or so.

i really liked our D, still to many open threes being let up, but we are playing very hard and it shows, the freshman were really good today, i think 6 pts each(stu had 2, 3′s and zach had one, and was fouled on another and made his free throws) and very few if any turnovers, manny is really good, and we will find out just how good he is when we play ucla. the only knock on him is he still turns the ball over, but has really settled down so far this year as compared to last year. i for one really really like sims off the bench, i dont think we have to worry nearly as much about scoring droughts this year.

the key to the season is….REBOUNDING, right now we are doing a terrible job rebounding and it needs to improve, i think some of it is long rebounds off long shots, so i hope that gets better.

GO BLUE!!!

2o point win over a pretty good team! I think this team can play in the NCAA tournament this year, so long as they shoot decent like they have thus far. Rebounding was still an issue but the real surprise to me is the tenacity of the defense. I cant recall the last time UM disrupted the passing lanes so well and even doubling down in the post!

Jevohn Shepeard sucks and he can stay on the bench for all I care. That said, the free throw shooting is saving us at this point. I’m sure these guys improved their shooting, especially from long range over the smmer, but it’d be nice if they’d prove it when it counts.

29-23 at the half. Sloppy at times but UM has the small lead. Manny has nine at the half. Janning has 2.

Is there a deadline to when they have to make a decision?

We need that extra big on our roster, if not, we are SOOOOO small

I’m sure this already came up, but how much can Cronin play without blowing his red shirt?
