Throwing out the Coppin State game, I’ve been really happy with the way this team is coming together. We know there’s going to be a learning curve, and I’m sure we are going to have some odd nights, but all signs point to this team getting better and better as the year progresses.

Krutwig turned the ball over a few times in that first half, but he has been so consistent in 5 games it’s tough to get down on him for a few I’m uncharacteristic mistakes. I’m guessing he gets his 1,000 point next game. As long as he keeps doing what he’s been doing, he’s gonna be the player of the year in the Valley. There are a ton of great players in our league but nobody is like him. He just creates a lot of problems for defenses and it must be a nightmare to come up with a game plan to defend him. I predict that when we hit valley play we are going to see a lot of teams getting physical with him and will try to foul him hard and slow him down.

Lucas is starting to look great again, and it’s awesome to see his confidence rising. He’s going to have multiple 20+ point games this year.

Wojcik is coming along. I hate comparing guys to the final four roster, but he really does have a Ben Richardson feel to him. I like him a lot coming off the bench and hope he can keep up the momentum and provide our starters relief.

Aher gave us 9 points and 4 assists tonight. Couldn’t be happier with the way he played tonight. I’d like to see more aggressive drives to the basket, but maybe that will come more as the season goes on.

Where did Tate hall go tonight?

I’m excited to see Frank back, but I’m worried that it’ll take him some time to get comfortable and back into the rhythm. At this point I just want to see what he can do in 5 or 6 minutes of play.

Question - who was touted to be better - Clemons or Pipkins? Is Clemons going to be a serious difference maker when we get him back? So far I haven’t been too impressed by Pipkins, but the season is still young.


I really can’t wait to see what we look like in mid-January.
