I am unable to get the game on the SEC Network+. The game is not broadcasted on radio in Shreveport. I saw some comments re: Josh Gray, but what are your thoughts on the other players, how well they play together, who looks to be the scorers, etc.?

I thought we looked pretty good, granted this is against Morehouse. I didn't see the first half either. But a few thoughts:

- Martin looks really in shape, and balled out tonight. Good be a good sign he's in for a big year.

- Mickey still blocking errthing

- Hornsby suprised me. Had a good looking jump shot and worked on defense.

- Quarterman is still well...Quarterman

- Robinson is a large human being

That's all I got

Much better on both ends of the court and the guard position. Gray huge improvement over Hickey Hornsby solid 2 with decent on ball defense to go with capable inside and out offense game. Martin much improved face up game. Mickey doing what Mickey does. Elbert no where near he needs to be to help this team. I see us playing lots of three guard with Quarterman getting big minutes. Martin and Mickey have obviously been told to try and create off dribble to help draft status. Neither are very good at it. We will be much better with uptempo smaller teams than bigger post up teams. Should be great season to go dancing...

Defensively, the Tigers struggled with over rotating and taking unnessecary risks (I.e. Gray going for a steal 30 feet from the basket on multiple occasions), which le to easy layups and a ton of offensive boards for morehouse, that can't happen in sec play.
Robinson looked big and athletic, but he was almost nonexistant on offense, often touching the ball 15-20 feet from the hoop. Quarterman was solid off the bench and I can see him evolving into a great role player in the Garrett Temple mold. Martin/Mickey/Gray are going to lead this team offensively and Hornsby will hit shots all year, I thought he may have been a little too aggressive on offense, he needs to take what he has instead of forcing a foolish shot. Overall a solid effort from the Tigers, rebounding was the only real issue I noticed.
