Junior forward Larry Sanders (Fort Pierce, Fla./Port St. Lucie), who picked up numerous off-season accolades coming into the season, looked like a man among boys throughout the game and was so unstoppable that he registered a double-double with nine minutes left in the first half-all with relative ease.

The Rams' talisman has infinitely inflated shoes to fill this season following the departure of arguably the best athlete to ever come out of VCU in Maynor. Yet while dropping his usual plethora of dunks and blocking his usual bounty of blocks, it was his zero fouls that was most noteworthy following last season's habitual foul problems.

Armed with a near-insurmountable lead by halftime, Smart spent much of the second half tinkering with the team and by game's end he had used all 12 players in uniform in an assortment of different lineups. All 12 of those players scored at least one point in the contest, including the four freshmen on this season's squad.

I must say...the CT is much improved in their coverage of the Rams. Kudos to them.
