Officiating is just awful. This game should have been over 10 minutes ago.

Pretty happy with the performance, I'll give a longer review later or in the morning.

Long analysis post coming.

Overall, I was happy with what I saw last night. Almost impossible to get a real grasp after a single game, can't assume any of the play will consistently be the same (other than Kevon).

Statistically, we won every category other than FTs, three pointers, and fast break points. Playing an over matched team like LeTourneau, you can almost always expect them to take more three pointers. It's a risk that can keep you in a game, and luckily they had the kid draining shots from 28 feet and half court. West is a very experienced scorer (Senior that averaged 24 PPG last season), but with all do respect he's not going to knock those down like that every game and got the benefit of some whistles that got him to the FT line 18 times.

As mentioned several times by Rob, Keller himself said that it's going to take a few games to really figure out the lineup and see who plays best with whom. I thought the starting 5 was fine, and safe. But I don't think we'll see Bain start in the future.

It was obviously a mismatch down low, so we didn't need to really do much when it comes to set plays or ball movement. I think you'll continue to see the offense improve (especially as mentioned when we get a lineup and better rotations set). Points in the paint was 46-12 in favor of SFA, and we grabbed 23 offensive boards. Obviously 25 turnovers is not good, but I found myself not too worried afterwards. All were pretty correctable mistakes that will come with more games. It will be beat into us, but playing 12 players who are almost all new, will take some time on the court.

- Kevon: Thought he played ok, we know what we can get from him each night. 18 & 8 on 50% shooting on just an "ok" night. Still needs to work on a few defensive aspects. The opening back door and one later were on him.
- Comeaux: Not his best night and was limited due to fouls. But we mostly know what we get from John as well. He'll be our best on ball defender so his fouls will always be a risk. He still managed 3 assists and 3 steals in just 16 minutes. I think he deserves to be the starter, he's finally healthy and in good shape.
- Kensmil: We all saw the turnovers, Keller even joked post-game about his "triple-double." It was just one game so it may not be an issue. But was definitely happy with his play overall, I think he'll be a solid double-double guy each night. He killed them on the offensive boards (8). He will definitely be in the running for Newcomer of the Year.
- Roti: Just didn't see much unfortunately. Not a great shooting night, and seemed a little hesitant. A lot of first game jitters all around, so I'll chalk it up to that for now. I think there's a reason Keller had him starting game 1.
- Bain: Let's remember he hasn't practiced a ton due to injury, so he may not be 100% fit. Big fan of Nathan and his energy, which I think will be an excellent piece off the bench. Great to have him as a Senior leader.

- Cameron Johnson: Was my player of the game. Could work himself in the the starting lineup, but I think he'd be an excellent choice as 6th man. Big guard that can really do it all, a lot of energy and very tough.
- Hart: Deserves as much praise as anyone. Have been more than excited to see him play, seems like a really good kid. And we can see he can be a very special player. Showed his athleticism, and showed some skill and touch. He was 0-3 from 3, but the fact that he took the shots shows me the staff believes in his ability to make them. And if he does....look out. He'll have some growing pains, as every freshman does, but he's a huge get for us.
- Daniels: Impressive game as well, think he will deserve additional minutes. We've got two solid big men now, and Daniels brings a little more height to the floor.
- Solomon - Had a really good first half, and a so-so second half. Like Hart, I think his potential is through the roof, but saw some of his freshman tendencies. Seems like he has an overall game similar to Bain, but could develop into a REALLY good player.
- Kachelries: Good ball handling, pretty decent game overall. Appears to be one of our primary 3-point options. Don't think he'll be a starter, but definitely seems like a solid contributor.
- Kharee: Only got 1 minute, so hard to say much. Would like to see him get some more minutes, but not sure we we will put him in there against better opponents.
- Zivney: Was surprised to see him so quickly in the second, but glad he got a few minutes. Doubt we'll see him much other than mop up duty.
- Oddyst: Out injured, but appears won't be out much longer.
- Demiere Brown: Still injured as well, not sure of his return.

I think in a few weeks we'll have a better idea of who will log the most minutes, but I didn't see anything last night from the main 10 players that said they deserve LESS minutes (all played 10+ minutes). So I think the staff has a tough job figuring out the lineups.

I think Saturday could be a tough game. This will be the season opener for NC Central, but they are picked to win the MEAC. While not a great conference like us, they are a solid team and have been to 3 straight NCAA tournaments and have some experienced players. It won't be an easy win for sure. See everyone there!
