Back from the game. A few observations from a limited sample size.
Loudest crowd I can remember for a nonconference game against a bad team. I have been to some of these early games and you could hear conversations across the court. Student sections were filled. I really hope this becomes part of the culture.
Martinelli looks very, very confident and under control. Berry and Nicholson are understandably still getting into game shape. Leach has a pretty nice overall skill set. He can score from anywhere on the court, can handle the ball and has decent vision. Hunger looked much improved. Freshmen will both be contributors down the road (how far down the road I don’t know).
And the worse the opponent the crazier Collins gets. He was pretty nuts today. Every bad play resulted in pained looks and then a fair amount of yelling. I assume he is trying to fight complacency. But sometimes it’s just kind of silly. He always tones it down when we play quality teams and is much more encouraging.
