We started out great, aggressively crashing the boards, and built a lead with a bunch of 2nd chance points. We seemed to relax near the end of the 1st half, and then EKU came out in the 2nd and nailed a bunch of threes to tighten it up. We seemed to wake up in the last 7 or 8 minutes and started turning them over and crashing the boards again.

IMO, there were stretches where we looked a lot better than last year, but it's hard to truly read much into it given the level of competition. Definitely an improvement over the CSU game though. The NKU game should tell us more, and we'll definitely know what we have after Maui.

My main takeaways so far is Hensley looks vastly improved, DDJ may be the conference player of the year, and Davenport is going to continue to drive me crazy.

Also, Oguama had his best game as a Bearcat. If he continues to rebound like yesterday it would be huge for this team.
