Offense is obviously much further ahead of the defense. Pikeville's starting PG got to the basket whenever he wanted and we didn't have the size to swat those layups away either. We definatily need Enes to get eligible if we want to make a run at a Final Four.

Knight is good, real good. Terrence Jones had his moments, but was non-existent at times, as was Doron Lamb. Neither Harrellson or Vargas did anything special, but both play hard. Miller & Liggins played hard and made plays as they should being the leaders of the team. Jon Hood was non-existent. Seems like he doesn't let the game come to him and he tries to force things. Totally forgot Poole was even on the team until he made a good defensive play late in the second half.

Overall, we have a good team. Not nearly as good as last seasons team, but I think this team is more of a college basketball type team, rather than a bunch of pro's playing college ball. We aren't going to be able to do much in the post this season. Our best post player right now is our swing man, Darius Miller and he's only 6'7. So he, Vargas, and Harrellson may have good games against the weaker teams post players, but they'll struggle against the likes of our non mid-major competition. Other than that my only concern is our depth, because we don't have much production coming off the bench.

Pikeville has a pretty good team loaded with shooters. They should be able make some noise in the Mid-South & NAIA.
