[QUOTE="PlayAZ, post: 1435486, member: 625229"] A win is a win, we'll take it again and again...that said some real positives from this game. We were more aggressive for the most part than so far this year. Kipper and Samba with Giorgi should be able to use this as a growth game, we will see. The talent level allowed Samba to do some good things, (no more redshirt talk) good game for him to get some minutes and experience and allowed Kipper to be very competitive. Guard play which is supposed to be our strong point needs work, although we proved we can win without the 2 studs playing great. Ayo needs to learn he is not going to get layups and calls going against bigger more athletic players at the rim...he NEEDS to learn the floater. Feliz shot several of them, so maybe with experience? Feliz played very well...he will can be a steadying player and seems to have learned when he can and can't take it all the way to the rim, as he was getting alot of shots altered blocked previous to this game. Griffin showed some spurts, really hope he turns into a really good multi use player and we can get his brother as well. Jones needs to figure out how to get off suspension or maybe he redshirts? If he doesn't dress for a few more he would qualify right? Jordan is showing he is an upperclassman Williams does a lot of little stuff good, not anything great mostly consistant not so much in this one though. If we can get some wins strung together....maybe gets some momentum, be competitive and get some recruiting interest based on style of play that is being viewed nationally, might be an interesting next several years.
