Happy to see Hall continue to play well. And, more importantly, his teammates looking for him and setting him up. Dunks are high percentage shots.

The interior passing was very good last night, as was the off the ball movement. A whole lot of entry pass, see the double coming, cutter recognize and streak to the basket, big man recognize and dump down. That's very good to see. Hopefully it continues.

So here is where we stand RPI wise

#125 RPI
0-3 vs Top 50 (#28 Dayton, #39 Valpo, #46 Oregon)
0-4 vs Top 150 (3 above + #136 Texas)
5-0 vs 150+ (#174 USCU, #254 CCU, #270 St Louis, #273 Ball St, #318 CSU)

We have 2 really big (and must win) chances coming up - #100 Clemson (which will rise as they enter ACC play) and #18 Arkansas State.

Arkansas State is interesting - obviously they won't have a Top 20 RPI all year, but they do have staying power in the Top 50-75. They already have wins over Georgetown and Chattanooga (UTC is very good) as well as Lehigh (KenPom has them winning the Patriot League). So, if we win out, we'd finish at 8-4 with no terrible losses, 1 or 2 decent wins and 1 so-so loss (at Texas).

Wouldn't be great, but would at least give us a shot to get back into things in conference play.

Unless they significantly outperform the KenPom projections, they will end up 75-100

I don't know if Georgia Tech is any good, but they were 9-1 coming into today and our women beat them.

I feel pretty good about our chances now that Hall is in the lineup. He's given this team some life

Nobody who can consistently create, and nobody who can consistently make contested shots. Add to that no solid post offense............

Yuck

I mean, do we?

Ingram does, Hall does (very raw, though), Key does.

Who else jumps out as being "talented"?
