I thought Engstrom played well the other night. At no point did he look like a threat to score or get a rebound, but it looked like he knew what he was supposed to be doing in the offense.

I even thought Eblen did OK. I've never seen a more offensively challenged basketball player, but he did what he was supposed to do for the most part. But, I panic anytime the defense presses and he has the ball.

And Cooper FINALLY gains some confidence and starts shooting. I said after the exhibition game that he was going to be our best freshman. Then he gets scared and overwhelmed and scores about 4 points the rest of the year. Good to see him playing like he looks.

Agree. Engstrom still hasn't learned to get his body in the right position to go after a rebound but he looks to make the right pass on offense. I wonder if he can shoot 8-10 foot jumpers? He passed them up every time against LSU.

I may be the only one, but I like Eblen. He's not a SEC starter but I think he makes better and better decisions with the ball for the most part and plays solid D. I think he'll continue to contribute more and more minutes as quality backup over the next 2 seasons. He'll never be a scorer but I think he has a bit higher ceiling than most.
