After the many years of bad teams and a horrible coach we now have a good team that is gaining experience each game. There will be setbacks but for the most part they are exceeding expectations. I am just so dam proud of this team and their efforts.

I concur about the praise of the coaching staff’s game management and Cuff’s leadership. I want to also add this. Part of the reason that we are playing well is that Yacine Toumi is playing well. There are still times when he drives us crazy and that will probably never go away completely BUT, his decision making and touch around the basket have noticeably improved from last season. I’m guessing that the coaching staff has been drilling into him the old adage of “ be quick, but don’t hurry.”
You are right on with Toumi --- he is avg 10ppg with .598 FG% - I did a double take on that %
Also, hard to believe Cuff is only our 7th leading scorer, but he adds so many intangibles is why we love his style of play.

Can you imagine what Hughes could've done if he had gotten to play more? Hopefully he is ok. He was off to a great start before he got hurt: Eight points in only seven minutes. He's a 20 year old Aussie. He looked a bit Devo on the bench. A few XXXX or Cooper stubbies, rub some dirt on it, and saddle up mate. |

I’ve known a few Aussies and they are all as tough as nails. Put a little duct tape on it and he’s good to go.

This latest win did not move us up in the ratings. We did move up two spots in the KenPom ratings (180 to 178); but we actually dropped from 94 to 100 in the NET ratings.  |

UTM is 254 in KenPom and Tenn Tech is 310. So we will likely go down in both ratings even with a win tomorrow - unless we just blow them out. |

Only lost to UTC & Murray by 6 on the road, so they’re definitely capable of giving us a game. I think Rags will have the team ready to go and motivated to get double digit wins, so hopefully we can win handily still. |
