1. Paul Miller has really expanded his game. He was draining 3s right and left. Of course it helped that there was not any hand in his face, but nevertheless, he was drilling them.
He was really running the floor well. Many times, he was the first man down court on the break.
He was quite impressive today. I hope he gets another NBA shot.
2. I'm still lovin' Reggie C. I love Hannah too. It is amazing how they can weave among the trees to either shoot or dish. Both are very clever.
3. A.J. was suited up, but he stayed on the side. He was just hanging out with his mates and having a good time. I was hoping to see him play.
4. Ramon had a little rougher time today because he was up against at least two big men. Nevertheless, he had some bright moments.
5. The big men were EO, Garrett, Paul Miller and Aaron. Also, the Emporia State guy. No one seems to know his name. He is about 6-8, burly, left handed and physical.
6. Aaron clearly is playing with more confidence than last year. He struggled with his shot, but he was not bashful about putting it up.
7. There were so many players there today, it minimized the play of some. Some players became discouraged and left.
8. Remember Jimmy Bolden? Class of '93. His stomach is still flat as a board. I imagine he was sucking pond water a little, but he looked great as a skin.
9. Coach Gross came by and said hello. Sorta reminded me of Jean Prioleau.
10. Remember Ron Mendell? Class of '69. He was in the stands. He still follows the Shockers closely. I don't know him personally, but I have seen him at many games.
11. The classic play of the day was a strip of P.J. by E.O. Now you had to be there to appreciate it. They were head up out near the free throw line and P.J. was trying to juke and go. E.O. not only was staying with him juke for juke, he reached out and stripped the ball. P.J. called a foul, but I have my doubts about the call. I think P.J. might have been a little bit embarrassed. Even if E.O. did foul, it was still worth seeing. Soccer feet and wing span in action.
I know the fans will like E.O. from the git-go. I just don't know, when they will fall in love with him. Lots of potential there. Lots and lots.
12. I just thought of another classic. E.O.'s team was running up court and E.O. was trailing the other 9 guys. E.O. was running to set up low like he always does. He got to the top of the key and boom! Someone passed the ball to him and he stopped dead in his tracks. He had this startled reaction as if to say, "I am not suppose to have the ball out here." I guess it is not so classic, but it was amusing at the moment.
13. Craig Steven's little brother was there again. He play one set today and left.
14. P.J. and Paul dominated the ball today. I realize it is good for the underclassmen to play against more accomplished players, but when they dominate the ball, other players start standing around as spectators so to speak. I should throw P.J.'s brother's name in there because the Cousinard brothers like to do a lot of two man tricks together - pick and roll, alley oop, etc.
