So I am not gonna lie, been pretty concerned and critical about our squad for awhile, but I am starting to feel a little optimism about this team.
The defense is holding teams to about 60 and we are drawing fouls almost more than any team in the nation. We got 2 losses. A close one to a better than thought ASU and a stomping by a really good team in thier home opener. Ace didn't play in either loss.
Ace. He hasn't even begun to peak this year. He might not score more than he did against Vandy, but he is going to have way more. Etter moments on the horizon. I know it was thrown around as an excuse him not playing, but god darn man he changes everything.
Jamir and Nunn. Watkins has been solid, but you can really tell he is rusty and getting back into the flow. I think he will have a huge break out game at som point this season and will be unstoppable thereafter. And we just watched Nunn drop 24 other night. So we know he is capable. He just hasn't been consistent which is understandable having to assume Ace's role.
So I feel we are about to reel off a really long win streak. The A10 doesn't look nearly as tough this year as we believed. We got a pretty good shot to win this league, make the tourney, and have a shot at making some noise.
