So tonight I get to cover another Selection Show party, it's been awhile since I've seen one, I love them. I'm the guy who goes crazy when it's Selection Sunday (CCSU or not), heck I get excited in the office on what we call "bracket day" for high schools.
The men deserve a ton of credit, and should get a rather cool scenario, getting to experience the dance without having to get themselves to some far off land. And yet, they'll still get to play one of, perhaps the very best, teams in the country. No word on whether Greg Oden will be involved.
Now, our couple of hoops thoughts per your questions. Wanamaker was supposed to be out until around the holidays, I'll see if that changed.
Shemik did get a look at point the other night, and I got the impression after the game that coach wants to see more from him there. It DEFINITELY helped Tristan's comfort level.
Also, remember not to make bold assesments in November of a team full of freshmen. Tamir's going to improve. Simmons has shown flashes... the rebounding is going to be solid. Shemik is a player, even though we don't know his position yet. Hall is getting the chance to contribute.
Seriously, don't get too high on this team in the good moments, and certainly don't get too low during the bad times. We just don't know enough yet. I know we live in a world now where we all have to have opinions immediately on everything, even if evidence isn't there to support it, but give this group time before we start putting players in the Hall of Fame or declaring others useless.
