Pleased with the game, but not the best opponent. It's who the Maui Classic made them play though so not really a choice.

I actually like Noah off the bench. He is going to play a lot of minutes regardless. His only issue is that he is not a very good defender, but is getting a bit better with his footwork.

UE has enough shooting that they will surprise a few people (like they did at Xavier) in games. Getting our big kid back will help, but he has to stay out of foul trouble, which has been a challenge for him in the past.

kids who stay to play for a brand new coach that did NOT recruit them always have uncertainty about their chances for playing time...
He worked hard to gain a starting spot last year and I gotta figure he wants to compete hard for that starting 2-guard spot that the DIII guy currently fills...

I am very happy for him - he's scored well two games in a row now....
I don't know how his defensive abilities are viewed but a couple more performances like this, the coach will have to find more playing time for him
