So...the UNCO game didn't go so well. We lacked toughness and defensive intensity. One thing about the Sky, which is a bit unusual, is that there are a bunch of very mature and veteran teams. The cubbies are one of those teams. They have a handful of senior players, who are major contributors. Losing to Weber, on their court, against, what they deem as a rival wasn't going to happen. After halftime they took the floor determined. Weber didn't match the cubbies intensity. Heavens it seemed they didn't even want to play. That could be youth, lack of leadership, no team chemistry a number of things. Weber is talented enough to beat every team. They just don't seem very excited to rise to the challenge.
On a side note, I really like Hill. He is a good kid, who has a bright future. What frustrates me is that he has sooo much talent. He is smart and a good character kid. He just seems lost at times. There are moments he is sooo smooth and efficient, and then there are those times he disappears on the court. I want him to succeed. I want them all to succeed. Yet, being a scholarshipped player brings with it a level of necessary accomplishment and success. If you aren't meeting the committed expectation then you run the chance of losing your support. That how it is with every scholarship, that's how it is in life.
