This strikes me as one of those teams that is not going to have all guys cold on the same night. It feels like we have enough scorers to always be able to score.

Famous last words probably.

In his few minutes, Seely didn't look like he's ready. He lost his man on defense a couple of times and missed a shot.

He also looked like he would have been our #2 or #3 player in any year between Nolan and Muss.

Free throw shooting has been good tonight.

Thomas has a 90s era game.  Midrange fade away, three, driving to the basket.  Complete.

Or a more mobile and athletic Scotty Thurman.

Didn't expect him to have the 3 point shot, too

He and Thomas together, we're going to hit a LOT of 3s this year

Same. 

Sealy looking real good.  He's quick and very active on the floor.  He's got a bright future here for a few years.

Rebounded and drove the entire floor for a lay up.  Nice assist to Thomas on the break.

Trying to think of who Maleek Thomas reminds me of. He's got that smooth, quick release jumper like Marvin Delph had. He likes the coffin corner too. But he's probably got a better handle than Marvin had, and he's better at the floaters. He's somewhat of a George Gervin or Alex English type. I'll take him.

Built like Mayberry, handling skills are similar, hope he defends like him. He is probably a better shooter. And that is saying something.

By the time I found the bootleg on youtube it was pretty much over but we look to be pretty dang good. Still can't or won't defend against the 3...this team is very athletic and long....which Cal's teams like this in the past have had early exits struggling against the smaller well disciplined teams that were shooting out of their minds.

Cal alluded to that in his PC.  That PC was a thing of beauty.  The media wanted to give flowers but Cal cut that off. 

He talked about defensive positioning and being lazy getting out on shooters.

Southern had one small guard that was nails from deep three.  Guy could shoot even with good defense.  Sometimes the 3 is just hard to defend.  I am not concerned at all with our defensive effort.

Cal's attitude is refreshing.  Keep the guys grounded and working on things.  I can't wait until Sat for the "football game" as he put it in his PC.  Should be a physical and entertaining game.
