This Basketball Team Is For Real

I just watched the UMass game again on Geaux Zone. When you take in all of the negatives that we had go against us in that game and we still only lost by two, it has to give you a lot of confidence in this team.

Consider:
1. We didn't shoot well from two, three or free throws.
2. We lost one of our highly touted freshmen when the game was only minutes old.
3. The referee's made many highly questionable calls. Okay some were against our opponent but we still had more go against us than they did.
4. One of those questionable calls put JOB on the bench in the second half when he was playing great.
5. Quarterman played like a freshman in his first big game on the road. He will get much better.
6. Our other freshman who played, Jordan Mickey, had a nice game but it could have been even better. He missed four or five putbacks that could just have easily gone in.

So I think this will be a good team, maybe even a great team, by the time SEC rolls around. Geaux Tigers, look forward to the next game Saturday!
