Is it just me, or is this team just more "likable" than last year's squad. We had a great run in the tourney and the season overall was a success (obviously), but I found myself watching most the games just angry with how much we seemed to struggle to score. Throw in the turnovers, the stagnant offense (all we ever did was a high pick and roll), etc... and it just wasn't a treat to watch most nights. Final scores 47-45.
Fast forward to this year... this team might be one of my favorites that I have ever seen. You have the cerebral point guard who runs this team like a pro, the for year player in CJ Fair, the freakish Jeremi Grant, the slowly improving Rak, and the two most loved players by far in Keita and Cooney. I am not as big a Cooney fan as most, but there is no doubt that he electrifies the crowd like no one else on this team, other than Grant. Any one of your guys can beat you on a given night. That makes us so dangerous.
Fun team. Great team.
