I think Dendy is a game changer down low. He blocks shots, Gets garbage buckets and rebounds. Not having him on the road hurt and we still could have hung 100 on Drake. IUPUI also played Drake without Young in the Lineup. Also...Drake is a hard team to play. They just do things wierd.
Make sure you don't call the charge. But make sure you call the foul on the scrum....

100-110 points, I think. My gut tells me that he gets something going, and we get running, at which point those young guys they have get rattled, and things get crazy.
As it is, this game was a blast, and I love to watch them.
Hats off to Drake. I'll be cheering for them all year long.
The guy that wowed me the most tonight was Garrett. He set the tone early in the first half how we would play on the defensive side of the ball. I listened to the pre-game show and Coach Mac talked about how he wanted us to win by scoring inside - DG waited for those opportunities to develop, which they didn't early on, but he wasn't afraid to take a few inside and draw the double team off of Brackins. You can tell how much Garrett has matured and he's starting to make me think that Colvin may not see as many starts at the PG position that I thought he would before the season started.
Really, the odd man out at PG looks to be Buckley, which is a little surprising considering how much he was supposed to have improved in the offseason.

He's so solid that he could contribute a lot. I think he's in a tough spot with the hard-charging Colvin.
I was pleased, almost surprised at the way we played last night. Marquis played hard even though I don't think his game was totally on offensively. Colvin apparently came in a little out of control at first, but settled down quickly enough to play smart later in the game. We've finally got a good arsenal of offensive weapons, and we're also showing that we're able to get to the ball to those people when they're feeling it, whomever they are on a given night
I was initially concerned about a let-down due to this being a third game in five days, our first road game, and recent history with the Bulldogs. I did finally plunk down some credits on us, but I wish I would have manned up and went all in.
