Basketball team definitely looks better

[MSUDC11]

86-57 win in the exhibition today. Auburn Montgomery isn't good at all, but considering we barely beat William Carey in the exhibition last year, I'll take it.

Borchert looked really good today. Applewhite was a suprise. I'd heard about him being a good defender, but I didn't realize his offensive game was pretty good too.

Chicken and Flat Top Freddy barely played in the second half, but both look more physical and more polished.

I thought we played well defensively all around, although AUM was massively undersized.

We will likely struggle against teams with skilled post players, but I liked what I saw for the most part today. I think we have a pretty decent chance to finish above .500 overall.

I just want to see our players make incremental progress in the fundamentals

I think we've already established that Ray's guys are going to play with a high level of effort compared to previous years under CRS. Now what I'd like to see is incremental progress regarding the fundamentals of the game. I wouldn't even care to predict a win/loss scenario going forward. Just show me a coaching staff who can develop the talent we do have to play as well as they are capable of playing.
