Message: [QUOTE="Flacusian, post: 1182458, member: 264"] There certainly were some things that could provide fodder for concern but the amount of encouraging things we saw on both an individual basis and team as a whole was substantial. The 2 newcomers demonstrated that they are indeed capable of being impactful as freshmen. Patterson's play was something to be excited about. Perhaps most encouraging of all was the way the team responded after being down 14 and on the verge of really struggling. The fact that they came back at the end of the 1st half and then subsequent to Jimmy's 1/2 time adjustments were able to come back and win this game while showing a variety of ways for the team to be effective bodes well as we venture into this season which seemingly has so much uncertainty. I think that overall, as a team, they exceeded my expectations and I think they have the talent to become a very good team. [/QUOTE]
