Ouryoungteam grew up in this young season with a gritty win on the backs of our 2 returning sophomore players, Williams and foreman, and our 2 newcomers who are 2 of the most athletic, smart , high IQ players , that have graced the Banks. Freeman first was a beast with his scoring, offensive rebounding, defense and a crucial late steal and awesome 4blocks that filled the stat sheet. Then Corey , who is the best pass first point guard we have had in a long time, with 14 points, 6 assists , a huge steal and break for a layup and most importantly 6-6 at the line and 4-4 in the last minute.
Now most of you guys will say easy man this was Central Arkansas, but that was one great coached team with some athletes and shooters. They ran a great offense, getting numerous cuts for lay ups and never stopped moving on offense, and hit a lot of shots . Eddie had to switch to zone because of how they ran their offense. I know they lost to UMass 89-72 but UMass hit 16 threes, something we will never do.
If the 4 guys I mention in this thread can give us this effort we have a chance at 500 this year.
Last year, we lose this game and probably by 10-15. We are growing and getting better and for this long time season ticket holder the most encouraged I have been in years!!
