11/13: Here's the lineup:
Junior B. J. Venn moves from SG to PG.
Soph Lin Jonn is at SG.
#3 guard is senior Jule Turr, who looks ready to contribute. Next is frosh Rob Holm whose D needs work. Then comes frosh Otis Thom who isn't ready. I should have red shirted him. Last guard is frosh Art Samm and he's not ready either.
Junior Jay Cage is back at Sf and again this season he figures to be our best player.
Junior Tom Maye is back at PF. He looks very good.
Senior Jim Andy started for the past 3 years at Arizona. He's a glass eater and a very solid defender.
1st big off the bench is senior Mark Geer who would start in a lot of programs. He won't hurt us when he's in the game. 2nd is frosh Reg Robb who is too good to be our #5 big. He'll start for us eventually.
Last is frosh Tom Caro, who is definitely not ready. I'm not sure he ever will be. So we're short up front.
The Holland Tunnel opens.
11/18: We beat Alabama badly in our opener. Later today it's #6 seed Sam Houston ST in the 1st round of the Hawaiian Shootout. We're #3.
We start fast. Up 15 after 10. 50-27 at the half. 16, 8 for C Jim Andy, 17, 3 for Maye. This one is a walk in the park.
82-68 but it wasn't that close. 29, 11, 3 for Andy, 22, 5 for Maye, 16, 6, 4 for Venn.
#2 seed Memphis, 1-1, in the semis.
