6 points 6 rebounds 6 blocks

Got to get those points up. Not shooting enough.

He also went down to the floor once, and was very slow to get up.

I don't like his stats at all.

Was a weird game to watch. After nick got hurt it took something out of them. Then they recovered and then played lackluster d down the stretch.

For him to have a shot at an NBA career, he is going to have to focus less on blocks and more on the rest of his game.

But he's The Mayor...isn't he?

How did Javien look live? From the box score, he had a decent game. He may take on a much larger role than we initially imagined-especially now.

I thought he was the spark plug early in the second half.

Larry Langford was mayor too

He is going to be really good. The breakaway dunk was beautiful. Made some freshman mistakes that will go away as he settles in. Handles the ball well. Really elevated on the dunk. Could use a year with the weights.

He played well. Very athletic and I think he's already decently strong for a freshman. Had a couple nice and ones. Needs to improve his shooting.

This. He tends to disappear on offense. That's not acceptable for someone of his talent. He should be playing to the level of how he played against ODU last year on a consistent basis.

Looking at the highlights, he basically had two dunks and a layup. Missed everything else.

He looked good, very active in transition. I will say, he was a bit out of control on his drives to the paint. If he does that against a good team he will be in danger of being called for charges or will get his shot blocked. He is like a smaller, less explosive version of Dirk. He is still a kid though, so I'm excited to see what a weight and nutrition program will do for him.

Darling looked tentative on offense and didn't take a whole lot of risks, which I'm fine with at this point. He was hustling though, he dove after a few balls.

Am I the only one thinking that Nate is 2-3 inches taller than what he's listed at. He looks 6'6"ish

To paraphrase Fletch, he's 6'4, 6'6 with the fro. The dude has some hair.

Thought he hit a jumper in first half.
Barely hit net.

He did hit a long jumper and it never touched the rim.

Thought I saw that in the highlights.
He hit similar shots in exhibition game.
Norton had 5 assists before injury.
Seemed like some easy finishes for the team.
Many assists in this game.
I'm fine with layups and dunks!
