I’ve said this before, but Erik reminds me a bit of McDuffie. Really high upside but can also look like the worst player on the court. Both guys can lead the team in scoring by simply playing within the the flow of the game. Both guys can also look like dog crap when they start thinking they have to carry the team and press to do too much. Just keep playing in control and take what the defense gives.

2. Not an overwhelming start for Noah, but he belonged
3. Jaime still struggles passing out of the doubleteam
4. Orlando and Dawkins should be able to recruit better
5. the guys are really gonna be cold steppin off the plane
6. I wonder who starts Sunday?
7. Not as impressed by Mark Adams as I used to be
8.

We had several guys grab 8 rebounds tonight. Was he one of them? I am very glad our guys played like a TEAM tonight. Go Shocks.I won't tolerate rude behavior

I was one of the delusional people who predicted a 10+ point win.
There's an expression of living in someone's head rent-free. Stevenson was living in his own head AND paying rent. I thought that after he had a chance to blow off some steam that he would play better. He surpassed better by a long ways. l respect him for turning himself around. I'll add that his grandfather was probably a stabilizing influence that he eventually needed after doing so well after his grandfather passed.
I also thought the embarrassment at Houston would push some buttons.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

Hope we don't get as low as we did prior to last night's game again, however, that's a game we should win and we did.
Just as Houston wasn't the best team to have to play after two heart breakers UCF with their small line up WAS the best
conference team we could have played following the beat down and team funk. We started a very small starting five last night but
won't be able to get away with that by the time we travel to Cincy. There is still some fixing to do. I was very pleased with the
ball movement and 19 assists. We hit some shots but were still very weak at getting the ball into the post with position to
score. Everyone seemed to make positive contributions last night and that is what it takes. Hope we can sustain and build on that.
