Well that game is more what I thought we would look like this year. We defended well not great, our freshman star had a tough game but Alex had his back. Ball made a few big baskets. Stewart with probably the put back of the year. Also on Stewart he played the better defense than McNeeley tonight IMO. Mahaney looked ok and in the chat really we all wanted him to shoot the shots he had so that says something about how we feel about his shooting.

Diarra is our heart. Ball is also getting better every game. He gets at least two or three baskets on penetration but still needs a right hand finish. His defense is improving. If it clicks he could really turn into a plus defender next year.

The Reed/Johnson combo is one we do not appreciate as much as we should. I think we are better than Marquette overall. I liked what I saw tonight. Give me some room for optimism on how we might fare over the next three weeks.

I think the BE is a bit under rated as a conference. I think Xavier is a tourney team right now.

As a whole team that may have been our best played game of the year.

Good timing!
