Slow start to the season but that is to be expected with so much youth, but there were some bright spots in the Villanova game just did not finish well. What are the chances we handle Xavier Thursday?

Chances that we handle them? Negligible. Xavier and Vandy are pretty much the same team. We focus on high percentage shooting around the edge with little focus on offensive rebounds. I'm left wondering if the guys on both teams will just see the ball on the ground and wonder what happens next. Until Dai-Jon comes back, I can't see us being able to perform that strongly defensively. But if Odom keeps up his strengthening performance, we can stay in the game. I think we lose a close one, but these guys just aren't a team. They seem to keep trying to figure out what each other is supposed to do. Hopefully, Stallings can change things up. Otherwise, we'll know that his teams have done well in spite of him rather than the other way around. Vandy loses by 5.

It's almost time to start playing Kedren, Dai-Jon, Bright, Jeter, and Odom for 35+ minutes.
Fuller, Henderson, and Moats are lacking SEC ability in a serious way. May as well let those five (along with Astroth) develop some chemistry as we await post help from Jones and whoever we can sign to come along with him next season.

What heart from the guys tonight! Tough road environment and we came out on top, hopefully this starts some momentum.
