From the looks of it, this is BY FAR THE BEST TEAM I HAVE EVER SEEN AT UAB. Newcomers Bryant, Perry, and Gueye are absolutely outstanding additions. The return of Norton and Sullivan are outstanding, as well. This is a completely different team than last season.

This is not the best team to ever play at UAB.
I agree. "Not" yet! I like your prediction in the prediction thread. 1-0. One game at a time! Thirty nine to go. All things are possible. This is the type of team that actually "believes" that they can achieve it, just as the 1982 team(the best team ever) "believed" that they could win their way to the Final Four. Back then, it was no fluke that they ended their season seven points shy of their goal of making it to the Final Four.

From the highlights, I can see how you say so, will reserve judgement until after the next game and Memphis and Well Auburn and Middle, the Conference is Good, Like Marshall and LA Tech heck Southern is always a game.

Paul clearly was a great player who improved every year but Scootie already has much better ball handling skills that PD3 ever had and seems to have a better outside shot as well.
Agree- he's already more polished with the ball skills. What I liked about PD3 was his attitude and slashing- when he went inside, he was very aggressive and strong. I hope to see that kind of aggressiveness again!
