Well so far so good. It looks as if we are the best team in the horizon league once again, and hopefully the tourney will go thru milwaukee. Its been nice to see our team start to mesh just when we need them. So far i dont see any team in the hl that will beat us, however it is likely that we will beat ourselves. Big chunks of time without points really have to go.
Our big men seem to be comming together nicely as well. Dylan is proving to be a leader on the team and AT leads us in assists. McCants is looking better on a daily basis and tucker provides both strength and unbeliveable quickness.

My main concern is lack of experience, especially in close down to the wire games. Valpo we look good, and then santa clara we dont. It should be interesting to see how we handle this as the season progresses. At this point in the season i feel better than i did last year at this time, mainly due to the weakness of our conference. Hopefully good play, and good shooting continue throughout the season.

I don't feel as strong this year as last....it seems we're lacking for another scorer/shooter. Once you get beyond DP and EM you have no other threats. If one or both of those guys are having an off night, who's going to make up their points?

I do feel we are a deeper team than ever, but not when it comes to scoring.

While it's early, I have to be concerned about GB....everyone predicts they will be tougher in the future, but they too are undefeated in HL, a half game ahead of UWM. Are they just overachieving or have they really arrived?

I'm interested to see how we play on the road in conference. So far, I like the way the team has rallied when needed, e.g. Valpo and Detroit.

However, I sometimes get the feeling that we need someone who can take over the game and make things happen in crunch time. Last year, that player was Clay. This year, I think it needs to be McCants.

As for being the best team in the HL, don't rule out UWGB yet. I only saw them play against UW, but I thought they looked really good. Should be a great game on the 31st.
