I didn't think we could do it, but I have been proven wrong so far. Of course, Saturday was the first time we've played against a Sun Belt school with a very good center. USA's center was apparently hurt the night we played them, although his numbers aren't very good and I don't know how good he is. I would think we will be in big trouble against FIU if Hicks is close to 100% and if Aspirilla is back. But I've been surprised by this team over and over (both good and bad).

As I recall, we couldn't stop Hicks last season, so I don't think having Mike back would make a lot of difference. But we are hurting some without Burton's ability to play 10 minutes or more.
