I think they are continuing to improve. Title: Re: Men's Basketball returns home with a 76-48 win over North Florida Post by: Jamos on December 05, 2013, 07:05:01 AM This was a fun game to watch as the team was coming off the two tough loses last week. The offense showed some new wrinkles that I think most folks that follow the team have been wanting. They played with a lot of imagination as they made a lot of passes to players on the backside of a play for easy layups or dunks. This is how Taylor and Randolph got most of their points.
The starting five were Releford, Key, Randolph, Taylor and Jacobs. I liked this line up more than any starting lineup that they have had this year. Jacobs is not playing like the Jacobs of old, he actually made a drive to the basket from the top of the key last night and made the shot as well as hit a long jumper from the top of the key as well. This type of play can open up the goal area as we can see from last night with Taylor's and Randolph's performances. Taylor still has a way to go but he is showing a lot of improvement from game to game. Key is another player that has made a lot of progress since the season started, he can be a big factor in the teams success this year. Even though the team lost the two games in the NIT last week I think they brought a lot of good things home with them and that is a huge plus as conference play nears.

I like reports like this, it gives hope for the future. I know we will never be a Kentucky, or Mich. State but we can a tourney now and then it will be fun. RTR!

I think it's critical for Jacobs to step up this year, so that is good news.

It should help us get some confidence back heading into another difficult stretch of our OOC schedule.
North Florida is not a good team but they are 5-5 on the year. They lost to Florida by 8 and to Ohio State by 35. Their next two games are against Indiana and Mich St. I give them credit for playing the big teams. |
