[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 486292, member: 2784"] Any time your two bigs foul out - especially against Lamar - it is not good Any time a team like Lamar outscores you in the second half - it is not good regardless of the reason. We got outrebounded which isn't good - but this was really on the guards/wings. AD and Ogbondo both had respectable numbers. Though our 4 spot also has some issues here too. We did not see that our 4 spot has been solidified by either Cole or Wright. I don't think either one of them laid claim to the spot the way we need it. Overall I wasn't excited by this performance and see a team that still has a long way to go. First game so not jumping off anything high but this is an evolution - there was no revolutionary improvement over the off season. Having said all that, there are some pieces to work with and some of these pieces give me hope. The 3 point shooting was good to see. If we can get the right guys shooting and if Alston's performance is not a flash in the pan then this alone will hide a lot of ills. Haywood in particular looked like he was looking for his shot which alone is a big improvement. Devoe showed flashes of the kind of player we need him to be. The stroke is there for sure. I am hoping he is still working his way back and there is another gear or two to go. But he showed he has a good chance to be the scorer we desperately need him to be this year. Philips as well showed a lot - especially defensive energy. He was fun to watch. I just hope our bigs allow us to play man enough to see Philips make a difference. Can't add anything to what was said about Jose. Looked like he has recovered nicely. I wasn't as high as others on the way we ran the offense. Too much standing and we got away with a lot of stuff because it was Lamars. We will have to be better to get the same shots we got Friday. But it was the first game so that is to be expected. We got a lot of shots off of the press which won't happen in the ACC. All in all it was a good first game. We won and won reasonably easily. When I peel the onion I see some things that are good - potentially really good like the 3 point shooting. But also you don't have to look hard to see the issues with our defense and our 4 and 5 spot that will likely limit our ceiling this year. We are not "old" yet and it shows. [/QUOTE]
