That's some ugly shooting numbers. Looks like Melbourne made some adjustments.

Great trip regardless of the outcomes. The offense will be fine. Defensively they have to get much better. However, at least they have something to build on going into fall camp. It's much better to work out the kinks in August than November.

The schedule isn't tough in the first part (ASU may be the only decent team they play, if they play them). I think once Victor is eligible they become much stronger inside. Get to mid-Dec with 0 or only 1 loss is a reasonable goal

Melbourne essentially played an entirely different team except for like 2 players.

Blanchfield was All-NBL 2nd team last year, Holt just played Summer ball with the Cavs and averaged 15 a game at St. Mary's, Kickert averaged nearly 17 at St Mary's and has played all over the world professionally, Majok Majok averaged a fricken double double in college...

Point is, these are good players and we had a lot going against us going into this game. Lets not overreact.

True Alt, the experience against quality competition and the extra practice time is huge.

I hope so. To me it's critical he gives us what we all hope he will. To make the most of what we have this year with Simmons and all the talented guards we have we need at least one kid who can do the dirty work consistently on the inside.

Geaux Tigers!!
