Welp we win. Good bounce back.

Kessler looked great to day. Just a shot altering minster.

And I would much rather play Syracuse. I hope we blow them out to make up for the 2003 Sweet Sixteen

Kessler looked great. Jabari looked great, but sometimes seemed to disappear. Green’s deep threes are fun.

Really good win… our length and athleticism are shows up against a team like Loyola. Once they cooled off in the second half, we took control.

Guards still get stuck sometimes and we get stagnant… but hard to complain given yesterday’s marathon.

Did his best work late though. Just hammering them with turnaround jumpers in the last 10 minutes.

Length, depth, and athleticism are huge strengths of this team. Does seem like we need to tap into better shooting and I’d like to see some offense moving through the paint with the dudes we have down there.

So far, so good though.

Flan coming back may take is from good to elite.

I'm very impressed with this team so far. Ridiculous potential.

I think we have the best roster in the SEC with Flan healthy but league play will be crazy tough regardless.

Then we still wouldn’t have a shooter.

We don’t have a Bryce brown but I think this team has enough shooting.

Syracuse 2-3 matchup zone will be interesting… should be a great chance for Jabari to get in the middle and do damage… but we gotta make shots.

Syracuse has no depth. Tonight all 5 starters played 35 minutes plus. The only reason they subbed in the second half was the guy fouled out late.
Hopefully we can get a lead and up the tempo.

I’d rather see Kessler stay near block than shoot threes.

He’s good, but he’s really good down low.

Jabari is legit.

I still think it’s important for Kessler to keep shooting from three. He’s hit 1/3 in the last two games which is enough for teams to guard it, and that’s what you really want.

Syracuse isn’t their normal self this year. The offense is legit but the defense hasn’t been very good. If we can find Jabari in the middle of it then he should have a field day. We are going to need guys to hit the open three when they get it though.

He seems the perfect guy to play that role if he can get the mental understanding of what to do when he gets the ball in that spot.

They need to be showing him tape of Marquis Daniels in that 03 Sweet Sixteen game. Dude was tearing them apart.

Big day for the shooters on the team. Gonna have a lot of opportunities. As a team we'll need to hit around 13-15 to win
