Box Score

Tracy was Tracy, scoring 17 points on 8-12 shooting; Richard Howell did his usual thing, grabbing 10 rebounds in 16 minutes; and the freshman impressed, scoring efficiently and flashing some of the athleticism we've been expecting from them.

I only caught the last ten minutes or so (if you attended the game, please share any and all thoughts), but I saw enough to know that these kids are going to be a hell of a lot of fun. They'll make frustrating freshman mistakes, but mostly they'll be fun. There was one play where Ryan Harrow broke the ankles of his defender with a crossover along the left wing, dribbled into the clear and banked a shot home...I nearly cried tears of joy right there.

Exhibition

The freshmen were impressive. Ryan Harrow is a stud, and Brown looked like an elite player.

Tracy is still Tracy. Wood is still Wood, and those are both good things.

Painter seemed a little out of control. and JV looked like JV. Neither of those are good things.

Howell is the only person on our team who knows how to box out. Not a good thing

Maybe that's why Howell rebounds as well as he does.

Not to take anything away from his obvious skills in this area, but perhaps he’d get his hands on fewer boards if his teammates were more fundamentally sound.
