Well, it wasnt good, but at least they avoided disaster and pulled away at the end to beat Northern State... It doesnt count either way, but you dont want to lose a team that literally has no athletes from South Dakota.
Pledger was good, 20-something points, and looks good on the jumpers...
Newell is athletic, very quick, should be a really good defender. He will probably take over the point guard spot. He is out of control but its game #1.
Fitz was good, although I worry that he is really small to be a regular guy in the post.. He looks about 6'5'' or 6'6'', which probably explains why he has to shoot so many jumpers.
PA guy is just awful.
Thompson is gonna be really weak inside... He doesnt look 220, had 3 or 4 rebounds I think. I dont know how many points he had, not many. He looked like a 4 and 3 type of guy so far.
Cameron Clark, I believe, had 3 points. He didnt try to do anything and when he caught the ball on the wing just stood there and passed it. Pretty disappointing debut for him so far. Hopefully he comes out and tries to do something at the first real game.
Blair looked good passing and handling the ball, but they had to take him out of the game because #4 got into the lane every possession and they were winning and in control when Blair was in the game. Things got better when Newell took over.
Cade Davis looked like Cade Davis... he isnt going to average 15 ppg. He looked like the exact same guy tonight.
Overall... this team has very little talent, or at least that is what it looks like after this game. I just don't know how they are going to compete in Maui and especially in the Big 12. Maybe they will look much better against Coppin State and get better.
