re: Thoughts on the basketball game last night...good overall win

I think the OP is pretty spot on. We're are a better team than last year with less big-time talent, but good talent and quality depth, something we didn't have last year. We have a good opportunity to be top 4 in the league and make it to the tournament. I think realistically we'll be .500 in the league and make the NIT. Honestly, what else were you expecting from this team. They play hard, but are still young. The sophomores are starting to figure it out better, but we still have freshmen playing significant minutes. Later in the season when Mays & Sims start to turn it up a little and we get Jenkins back, we'll be pretty stout on the defensive end. We're a quality point guard away from being really good. If Jenkins can come back and be that guy, we'll be fine. If we've learned anything from the football team, hold your judgments until after the season is over. So far CJJ is exceeding the expectations that we had before the season started. Geaux Tigers!
