Two things strike the eye right off: Andre Brown had 14 minutes and Gus Leeper had 26. Andre is getting into games and Gus is staying in them. That is huge on a team that has little size. Also, Mareik Isom had 5 rebounds in 18 minutes, which means that he is using his length to help us where we need help.
We took only 11 three-point shots, but we made 4 of them for 36%, which we would take any day. On the other hand, we shot 58% overall, which is huge on a team not known for its inside game since James White went down.
James Reid is turning into a steady player for us. His juco coach told us he was not just a shooter, and he is proving it. Three assists and zero turnovers.
I get the impression this team is starting to play within themselves and let the game come to them. Play their game. I am not making any wild predictions, but there is just a glimmer of hope now that we might make the tournament. The rest of our schedule is not in our favor, but if we are playing better, it might happen.
