On the other hand, the D sucked. WAY too many layups conceeded.

I wonder if crean can continue going 12-13 deep, but if he gets results like he did last night so be it…..

You will tire of his act. Trust me.

Creek looks fantastic! I think finishing around the rim is a direct result of confidence and conditioning. Both will take time for a lot of guys on this team.

It's gotta be strange for Dumes to be the only real senior on this team, lead us in scoring last year, but is probably our #8 scoring option this year. While I like having that “instant offense” coming off the bench, I see him as someone who is going to take a lot of dumb shots and may not make it through the year on this team.

I've been convinced since we signed this class that Elston is the X-factor on this team. If he can stretch the defense and add some toughness and athleticism inside, we are looking good.

THE MAN though is Watford. He reminds me of Jared Jefferies with his knack for the ball, good passing and toughness on the boards. I just hope he keeps playing down low and doesn't fall in love with the 3-point line.

Dumes- He is our best on ball defender. He does a great job of staying low and mirroring the offensive player. He seems way to zealous on offense. He has a great shot. I just feel he tries to hard to make things happen. He needs to let the game come to him. Some of his shot selections show he can tend to have the “imma get mine” attitude.

Elston- He will be very hard to guard. He moves extremely well for his size. He does a great job of putting himself in good position under the basket. Also love his shooting ability.

Watford- My only question about him is his conditioning. He seemed to almost always have a look of dyin for air. I also noticed he kinda moves around sometimes like hes got nowhere in the world to be. Maybe thats just how he plays. He reminds me of T-mac. T-mac has that sleepy look and then within a blink of an eye he's gone. He's gonna be a great one.

Verdell Jones- Used his length well on defense. He played like he always does, which is good. However, I noticed that after Creek hit a couple of big shots, he seemed like he thought, ” I got to score then.” Like when he forced that airball 3 pointer.

Bawa- Looked extremely nervous or uncomfortable when he first came in, but he handled himself well. He will help us down low defensively. Also showed nice touch.

Jobe- All I have to say is that I have to turn the TV down when he comes in the game.

Pritch- Did a great job of playing within himself and brings a lot of intangibles to the game. Loved the charges.

Hulls- Will be a very sound pg for the hoosiers. Seems to pick up his dribble too much and telegraph his passes.

rivers- Made some dumb decisions, but I like how he creates by penetrating the lane. The kid can play D and has some major hangtime.
