Message: [QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 4457424, member: 212"] I am more optimistic now than I was pre-season. There has been improvement over the first 5 games. Given the youth/inexperience of this squad (and I include Hima), the defense should get better as the season progresses. I'm not sure that the offense will come along to the same extent, but my fingers are crossed. St John's is a more mature, physically strong group than our guys are, but that was to be expected as we wheeled a bunch of teenagers (Mintz, Bell, a bit of Copeland) out there against the Johnnies' upperclassmen. Plus games consecutive days--both going into OT--helped wear our players down. Judah was pretty much shot the last 10 minutes, and our offense is going nowhere without him at this point. I hope the so-far little-used frosh can make some strides in practice to the extent that they can help in spot duty as the season progresses. And, the ACC might be even weaker top-to-bottom than it was last year. [/QUOTE]
