** With a crashed laptop… I can’t do my regular too-many-words. Too bad. It would have been fun.
** But it’s already easy to see what Head Coach Capel wants this year — attacking defense and let the shots fly.
** The result was a pretty fun game. More importantly, it looked like our guys were having even more fun, maybe more today than at any point last year.
** I’m not sure what more can be said about Blake Hinson that hasn’t already been said. But allow me to recap my favorite Blake play. In the second half, he set a brutal screen to free Nelly at the point to drive to the lane. From there, Nelly kicked back to Nike who then swung back to Blake at the top of the key to drain the three. All made possible by the great screen.
** Otherwise, Nelly was smooth and commanding at the point.
** Want proof about the power of our defense? Parker Stewart is usually a pretty cool mature customer, but the Panthers totally frustrated him to the point that he lost his cool. That’s saying something.
** I’ll wrap up by saying this was an encouraging performance. I’m not going to offer any “let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves predictions.” But it sure beats the alternative, like losing to St Francis or the Citadel.
** I’ll miss Fridays game because the family will be on the road for a college visit. Before tonight, I wasn’t too worried about missing the game. Now I’m bummed because I think it’s going to be a good one, even without John Hugley.
