I see three......

1. Anthony. He's getting better and more agressive and listening to coaches telling him to stop those wild layups and just stuff it.

2. Red. He's regained his freshman form. Time for him to be in the starting lineup?

3. The schedule. It will only make us stronger. One of the few things I like about Coen.

What did I miss?

I wasn't able to watch either of the games this weekend but was disappointed with the scores. Was happy with Green and Gresham's box score but not really anyone else's. Was hoping Murphy would continue his form from bu, and hoping Brace would step into a real scorer's role. It looks like big men tore us apart down low both games.

Back to positives, and I agree about the schedule, this should only make us stronger. Tough to see big losses we aren't used to, but let's see how we repsond on a neutral court vs. other mid-majors.

Only problem with number one is he still needs to knock down a 10 foot jumper from time to time. Can’t be ALL dunks. I believe in keeping defenses honest. But otherwise it was great to see him play 30 minutes.

Red played great the first two games last year. Yesterday Coen in his presser said he was off to a great start last year and he was looking forward to having Red and TJ in the backcourt before he got hurt at bu. Red needs to start. Pusica and Max need to come off the bench and maybe Bolden too. They’re the reasons why we’re getting off to dreadful starts.

As for the schedule, as someone who travelled a lot on business, I should have known that Stanford then OSU Friday-Sunday trip would be too much for college players. NU looked tired and their defense showed it at OSU. We always play a great OOC schedule so yes, let’s hope it pays off.
