Big road win for the CMU men's hoops team last night. This one easily could've gotten away from the Chips as Louisiana-Monroe led for a big portion of the contest. Lots of contributions from up and down the lineup, but I thought 7-2 Conrad Lucynski played well on both sides of the ball. Newcomer Jayson Petty made some big plays and Jaxson Whitaker can still knock them down from deep when he gets a look.

My main concern is that I don't see a natural point guard on the floor, and though Phat Phat Brooks is holding it down, I think he's much better as a 2-guard then as the floor general. Freshman Uchenna Amene could fill that role but he needs a few more games under his belt. Jalen Kampen doesn't seem like a confident ballhandler, so he's probably not the answer, but I do like him out on the wing and he gets after it on defense.

My favorite player on the squad, Keenan Garner, had the first of many double-doubles with 11 points and 10 boards. Love how hard this kid plays.

This CMU team has much better depth than last year and can shoot the rock. There's still going to be a lot of uphill battles in Year 2 of the Coach Bronk Era, but there's plenty to be optimistic about.

Fire Up Chips!

Great post, CaliChip!

Whats up with your head coach? On Leave?

No one knows yet.

Whatever it is, it can't be good.
