I thought they played decent. For the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half there was no focus. I know sometimes it's tough to keep kids from slacking off when they're up big but come on, they were not doing anything well at that point. Other than that a lot of people looked good. As was said Blair has a golden hand and McLean is a hoss. Rell looked great in the first 10 minutes. I didn't notice him much after that. Russ had his moments both ways. I'd really like to see it click for him but I don't know that it will ever happen. Armon.... is young. We played well on defense. Other than the above mentioned 10 minute span, there weren't too many instances where I was mad at the lack of D.
I am concerened about a couple related things. I really don't see a decent ball hanlder yet. That's a big part of what killed us last year and I'm not sold on anyone yet, this year. On that same note, it's been mentioned that we're going to be a great transition team. While we have the athletes and the speed to run, it seems like everytime we get the opportunity, they don't finish it well. There were a couple of botched 1 on 1 and 2 on 1s. It was disappointing. Although Blair had this sick fake to one player and lay it to the other on a 3 on 2. I thought he gave it away a bit early but the other team completely bit on it.
So I guess while it's an improvement, I hope we get better real fast. I definatly think we would do better playing OU a little bit later this month.
