Very active hands caused a lot of turnovers and misses. Rebounding, scoring, blocks..everything was there tonight -Score wasnt as close as the final score. More like UW vs Savannah High -overall defensive team speed was very exciting to watch -Krabby continues to have very solid performances. He should finish third in scoring this year after Hughes then Butch The Bad: -J Bo got absolutely torched on defense. Through the first 30 minutes, whatever man he was guarding scored half the team's points even though he saw limited action. Obviously not playing up to last year's potential, but you have to wonder if the surgery was successful enough or if its normal lagging -Hughes great game perhaps gets him a little closer to the door

Maybe he doesn't perform well against the big boys or gets nervous on the road. Other than that, he is playing as well as any guard can play. I don't think he's gone this year, though it's a possibility if he keeps up this incredible pace. Look where TJ Ford went in the draft. Right now I'd say he's gone at the end of next year.

Lets see how Hughes does against Neitzel and James before we talk about him leaving early for the association. He still has a lot of work to do to get to that level.

NBA teams have drafted more on "potential" and talent than solid basketball skills for quite a while now. Hughes has shown skill, talent, court awareness, and most importantly in the eyes of NBA teams, athletic explosiveness and a high ceiling in each game thus far. Yes we need to watch closely when he is up against the Drew Neitzel's of the world, but I have a feeling he will stack up athletically with every player he faces this year, and fact of the matter is that's exactly what NBA teams end up drafting. I'm not saying he'll leave, or that if he does leave he will own the League, but more he is already catching the eye of pro scouts and could be gone this year or next. Now that I think about it, he'll probably declare and be gone before this year's March Madness. 100% Utah, Good Work...

Later in the games, there seemed to be a little breakdown of discipline, as in trying to steal for the sake of stealing. Also Mike looked pretty frustrated at times and we had better start hitting outside shots on a more consistent basis.

Would you rather have him miss a few shots to keep his stock down? Just enjoy the games and if the NBA is a possibility for Hughes after the year it means he's had a great year and will only help the image of our program in the long run. As far as the game goes, whoever plays us better box out on every shot because Butch, GS, Landry and Krabby are crashing the offensive boards like mad dogs. With the strength, size and experience those four players have they are going to be a handful to keep off the boards for any team, even teams bigger than the ones we've faced so far are going to have their hands full in that department.

No one is more thrilled with his play than me. I absolutely love having a PG like him. His game has really developed well over the summer. But let's let him be a Soph guard making his third start against WIAC level teams while it's here. We'll see how he develops this year.

I tried to figure out their offense and it appeared to be "Isolation game without the isolation". Basically, they passed the ball until a random player decided he would shoot. Despite the criricism of J-Bo's defense, I thought he did some nice things with penetration on offense. I thought Stiemsma did some good things both scoring and passing wise. I think one of our guards still seems to be really forcing it and not letting the game come to him at all. Other than that, not much to add because Savannah State sucked so bad that you couldn't tell much about us.

But JK won't be much of a scorer for us, or shouldn't be. Semi-proud President - Elect of the Buckyville COF community

Posts: 2147 November 16, 2007 11:27 AM Rug Pee-er	My assumption was S-State's offense is predicated on penetration and getting the other team to foul or go off-balance. Like ETR said, they really didn't run a functioning offense and most of their baskets came off a flash into the lane and a jump shot. What surprised me is they didn't even attempt a lot of threes. Most small-school 3 guard line-ups shoot a lot of threes, but I think they only shot 9 all game. I was impressed with Hughes, but he's got to watch that flop act on defense. He got the first call of the night but got nothing the next 4 times he fell down. If he keeps doing that he won't get any calls all year. I still can't tell how good this team is, mainly because they haven't played anybody.
