Last night was the first MBB game I've seen this year.

In the + column:
- Huestis on offense and defense.  Does he remind anyone else of a bulkier version of another recent Josh?
- Powell on everything but finishing at the hoop
- team defense
- offensive rebounding
- Sanders.  He moves really well.

In the - column:
- We let a team that Ken Pomeroy had in the bottom 10 in Division I last year stay in the game for over 20 minutes.
- Aaron Bright's shot (what happened to the guy who hit 66% on 3-pointers in the NIT??!!)
- Movement on offense.  Too much standing around and passing the ball back and forth.  Not enough drives and screens.

After watching one game, I'm optimistic but also concerned that this team may end up like last year's: solid on defense but offensively challenged, especially against bigger teams.  We'll know a lot more after the Belmont and Missouri games.
