Hornets looked very average in the first half but picked it up in the second half....Cherry had a double, double but also had 6 TOs to muddy up his performance....Johnson looked real good as did Teat, both with 21 pts and 4 and 3 assists respectively....Summers also looked good to me....O'Neal didn't impress me, but will be serviceable as a 4, he's got to get a bit more motivated.....Williams finally got engaged in the second half and showed a bit of what he's capable of with 10 pts and 6 assists....Gardner, after looking like a zero against UNO showed he can definitely play with 11 pts and 7 rbs in only 19 minutes...have to get this kind of play from him if we are going to go anywhere in the BSC...both freshmen, Lavrenov and Robinson can contribute as well....Lavrenov, in only 5 minutes got 5 pts and 3 rbs....He must not be showing much defense in practice or else he deserves more minutes....Robinson got 18 minutes and scored 3 pts with 4 rbs....With a bit of a height problem, I think Lavrenov better learn how to defend quickly because I think we will need him on the boards against D1 teams....First game, lots of turnovers but also lots of assists which bodes well for the future....Gotta wait and see how they stand up against UCSB to find out if they will be a threat in conference.......
