Unlike previous years, this team dismantled an inferior opponent early on. Thing that hits me is hungry youngsters........a lot of kids having something to prove and they played more inspired.

I said it last night when SH was about to score that we needed a turnover so they couldn't put 3 on the board and our guys came through.

I agree. While the scores of past games may have been similar it just seemed like we were fired up to play. There wasn't the usual second and third quarter funk where the entire team looks uninterested.

There is a myth we don't blow cupcakes out. Only 2 games were troy and la tech, lee was just terrible. The younger guys play because we are short on upperclassmen. It will be like this as long as kids are 3 and done. This really wasn't the case until 3 years ago. We all knew some of these young cats were going to have to play before the season. It shouldn't be a surprise now when they do.

And keep in mind shsu is not cupcake quality..... They put up points on everyone. I really thought we were going to have 50+ to 20+ game.

AA or not, that was an impressive defensive performance
