    We still really suck in a lot of ways but there are definitely things to be excited about. Dickerson is really good, and is apparently a decent shooter now. Nowell is a baller, and even though he didn't shoot great tonight, I still felt like he was taking good shots.

    Crisp and Thybulle just aren't consistent enough to be leaders out there. As soon as Crisp makes one 3, he starts chucking awful shots. I just don't know what to do with Thybulle. I feel like he has everything to be a pretty good player, but he just never puts it together.

    Thybulle on a good team is a bench player that plays 15-20 minutes tops.

    This was a GOOD loss.

    In all seriousness, this team is straight up Sarkisian to Pete transition year. We're going to want Hop fired on many Tarmacs, but finally they are getting coaching.

    Trouble with Thybulle is he can't handle the ball. He turned it over at least 5 times tonight and it was killer.

    If he was on a team where he could play off a good PG and another ball handler and just focus on what he's good at I think he'd be very effective. He's all over the place on D-- there's always a place for someone like that.

    This team has about 1.5 guys that can you feel good about with the ball in their hands. I'd say Nowell is one and Crisp is pretty shitty but at least I'm not holding my breath when he touches it. That's not going to cut it.

    But, it's great to see them giving max effort and giving a damn.

    Good showing last night despite shooting themselves in the foot. Quite honestly, Providence allowed them to stay in it as well. The 2-3 is still really tough to watch, especially when the ball gets in the middle or post, which doesn't seem to be all that hard. That being said they were in it to the end which is better than not. Offense seems to be a bit fuzzy sometimes. Agreed about Thybule. If he had any semblance of elite ball handling he'd be tough to stop. Also to note about Thybule is for a guy with his athleticism you'd hope he pulled down more boards. I do love that there was an emphasis to get the ball in the post. They should do this even with Timmins who actually has decent touch down low. Dickerson will need the help, and it helps open up the floor for guys to get off a shot. I like Carter IIIIIIIIIIII as a point guard more than Crisp. Gets the ball out of his hands. I'm not certain how he is as a shooter, as it's always beneficial to have a PG who can hit the open 3. Virginia Tech should be a good barometer for the team. If they come out swinging and win would be the best result but I'd be happy with doog logic for a close loss like last night.

    The inbounds play isn't a complete circus for the first time in over a decade. I'm sold.
