FOY candidate watch

No doubt about it, we have to work very hard to have success. For the most part, we have been doing a better job of that lately and it shows with our number of wins.

We've had our troubles - UMKC, Bradley, & SIU at home.

We've had some close calls - Evansville & MSU at home.

We've also had glimpses of the future - Creighton and Ill St at home, Siena, Michigan St, and Georgetown.

One thing about this team is that it's young, growing. gaining experience, and hopefully, not ready to pack it in. While others are wearing down, we seem to still be energized.

And we have depth. We confidently can put in 11 players and expect them to do well in their position.

While no injury would be good....we can no more overcome an injury to Toure' for example than SIU could if they were to lose Dillard....we have at least the bodies to plug in.

Lack of Divison 1 experience doesn't do it for me. Hannah and Chamberlain both played Juco competitively, and it is pretty much like Div 1. At the least, they should be able to pickup on it after 2-3 games under their belt.

Look at Murry, a freshman, and he does better than both of them.

Murry in high school was better than both of them. And that's your answer. I think we're seeing that we may have something very special in Toure'.

I still don't understand people on here lumping Hannah and Chamberlain together. Hannah's game is well above Chamberlain's, however, Hannah also had two years in Juco to Chamberlain's one. In fact, I'm not sure two players of equal talent at the same position, one a freshman and one a single year of Juco is going to be all that different. Both still have to adapt to D1 ball, to a new system, and to new/different style of college life.

Snap, you are kidding yourself about Juco v D1. In a GOOD juco game there might be 4 D1 players on the floor.

In a D1 game there WILL be 10 D1 players on the floor and probably 13-16 more on the bench. Trust me when I tell you D1, in so many ways, is coming a lot faster.
