[ALACOMBE]

Wow, no posts on the game today?  Gregg, was that you and your Dad 
making your way around the glass block wall after the game?  Dad 
had on a checked sweater?  Sorry for not saying anything, but if 
it was not you I would have looked very strange ;-)  Not quite as 
bad as playing golf with Jon Breiner and having him tell everyone 
that I was his "internet" friend.

Intriguing game tonight:

  - Why didn't Hicks or Moore get in the game until the second 
    half?
  - Where in the hell is BJ?  Brian can we find out how far he has 
    to go?
  - BJ is needed to give them a big body down low.
  - Holman, Johnson and Flowers are not D1 centers.  Neither is 
    Eugene.  Gene twisted his knee again.  You could see the pain 
    on his face after he did it, and Huggs got Steve Whelmer to 
    stop the game to get him out.
  - Hicks is a man, he works his butt off.  If he is not 100%, wow!
  - Moore can really fly, Kirkland can fly with the ball too, but 
    both of these guys were deer in the headlights.
  - Bobbitt was pissed at Huggs at one point and Peters had to 
    try to calm him down.  I like his fire.  His nickname should 
    be tigger since he bounces all the time.
  - I think that the NCAA did away with the hand check call along 
    with 3 seconds for #34 Sea-something.  He camped out in there 
    the whole game.  NKU grabbed pushed shoved and UC wore their 
    jerseys that would come out of their pants all on their own.
    But, NKU had 1 foul for the first 8 minutes of the second 
    half.  The wrong ref was calling fouls underneath while the 
    guy in position was not making the call.  It was bad...
  - Lenny could have scored 40, but he was holding back trying to 
    let the other guys get theirs.
  - Rod Flowers sucked.
  - Field looked OK at times, but he needs to slow down.  Same 
    for Bobbitt and Kirkland.
  - Max was a bit off tonight, but we know he can do it for real.
  - Barker looks OK with the ball, but his offense is not good.
  - Huggs used a ton of lineups tonight and there are many 
    possibilities for what he can do.  They tried to press a lot
    and the best guy to be the point is Kirkland.  At 6'8" and 
    long arms he will cause real problems for opposing point 
    guards.

It will be interesting to see what they do against AIA.  The team
is very raw, but there is a boatload of talent.  The Sporting News
and their D+ depth rating for the Cats could not be further from 
the truth.  If they all progress this team will be VERY scary come
March, but will be ugly in November.  The newcomers look like they 
will really contribute this year.

End of year lineup:

1 - Barker / Moore / Lucas
2 - Bobbit / Williams / Kirkland / Meeker
3 - Stokes / Hicks / Kirkland
4 - Max / Land                                        Flowers
5 - BJ / Johnson / Hollman                            

You may even see Max at the 5 and Hicks playing the 4.  I am not sure
how Hicks gets in the starting lineup with Stokes in there also.  I 
hope that Moore gets enough time to be able to develop.  I hope 
Flowers was just nervous and he has actually made progress...
