Just another Manic Monday

Skyhawk:

I'm working on a story about buzzer beaters, Bruce is going to help me. I think it's 6 since I've been covering the team, and they're all losses. So I'll get back to you guys on that.

Anyway, thoughts on tonight:

I continue to like this team's toughness. They clawed back into the game and imposed their will in the second half, turning the game into a track meet.

Ken Horton is a beast. He will win an NEC Player of the Year before he leaves here.

Welcome to the big time Marcus Palmer. Great job by him, he has really taken coach's pleas to become a rebounder first to heart. That makes him a double-threat.

Shemik is figuring this floor leader thing out. I'm impressed with him.

Joe will be fine, he doesn't sulk when he is missing his shots. He did some other things and he'll get his stroke back.

Robby is going to be fine as well. He got the start tonight and really looks comfortable. There will be growing pains, but things should be good.

Don't give up on the bench yet. Simmons is the same guy we all loved last year, and Coach will find some more help.

Free throws are a big problem. Not just at Central, but in the country. Ask Memphis. It irks me, but it is what it is (sorry Ryan, had to be said).

The defense was really active tonight. They covered ground, got in lanes, and moved their hands. Fun to watch.

Decent crowd on hand, but lively. Operation sellout is a good idea, but it needs some backing. Pick a game coming up a few weeks away and we'll try and get a movement started.

What'd you guys think?
