The press ate us up a bunch last season. Appleby seems to have cured that problem.
Lots to be enthused by last night, particularly in the first half. Great team defense. Looked a little worse in the second half, but they finally got some threes to drop (I think they were 2-15 in the first half), and we didn’t clean the glass quite as well.
I think we have a lot of room to round into form as the season goes. Both Klintman and Keller are doing some nice things while also making freshman mistakes—that should improve. And the biggest X factor is Monsanto. He worked hard on D last night. The shooting will be there.
