- MSU was actually up 38 points with 6 minutes to play, UAB scored the last 14 points of the game

- Fred Thomas had 11 points

- Daniels had 6 points and 7 boards

- Demetrius Houston had 7 points

Seems like Weatherspoon has sort of been under the radar a bit due to Newman. He may end up being a great player himself though.

Definitely.

I was most surprised to read that we beat the brakes off of them without Malik and IJ after having lost the scrimmage each of the past 2 years. UAB returned 4 starters from their sweet 16 team last year.

I wonder why no one talked about the scrimmage then.

Howland mentioned the scrimmage in his media day speech. I guess no one really paid attention because it's a closed scrimmage.

I had no idea we had been doing this the last 4 years with Ray though...

They probably didn't advertise it because we kept losing the scrimmages.

Chicken is our leader and probably our best player. So i wonder how the lineup will work this season. It will be ready or thomas coming off the bench i guess but we are gonna see a lot of combos. Our backcourt is sexy.

My guess is Ready. I think Flat Top Freddy will be our starting 3 and will be our most improved player.

I think Ready starts and Fred comes off the bench but I will change it when the season starts if I need to.

I don't think UAB made the Sweet 16. They were a 14 seed and upset Iowa State (3 seed). They then lost to 11th seeded UCLA. UCLA lost in the round of 16.

I do think that they have all 5 starters back plus CUSA's 6th man award winner.

PG - IJ Ready SG - Malik Newman


Malik will start at PG not Ready. This has been stated repeatedly by Howland.
