Michael Adams graduated the year before ('85) along with Dominic Pressley; Jay Murphy in '84. I clearly remember McCready as an undersized PF. Troy Bowers was the BC center, so If McCready ever played the 5 it would've been in an "emergency" situation, similar to Pointer playing the 5 for us.
Good teams :
1. Play good D first and foremost;
2. Have more than 1 scorer;
3. Want to win more than put up individual stats;
4. Beat inferior teams badly;
5. Get contributions from their bench as we did today from Felix-4 points, Amar - 3 points, Joey D - solid D, CJ - 4 boards.
Can we please all try to be happy as we approach our next game versus the Hall on the road? The team and staff are doing everything we could have asked for and more at this point in time and I firmly believe Rysheeds best ball is still ahead of him this season.
Enjoy the day and look for us to possibly be in the top 15 tomorrow , something none of us would have predicted.

The kids look like they are having fun on the court and are playing well together
Enjoy the ride!! Looks like it could be a fun and exciting league season

Nice win.. still plenty of room for improvement in terms of shot selection. Help defense was superb. Jam the ball inside against us and you are likely to lose the ball as we swarm the middle. Can't say enough about Dom - but that's obvious. Good win.
Surprisingly we have fixed a lot of weak spots which i thought would hamper us this year. I thought our size would be an issue, but Obekpa is much improved, and we have joey D and CJ giving decent minutes. Our guards are all improved. Team defense has had few lapses this year so our IQ on both sides of the ball is better. In the past, Sir'Dom was a liability. Instead this season he is s dynamic player at both ends. We are really playing the way I hoped we would all along, and without much of the huge lapses in either offense nor defense.

I'm hoping to pass up ND too. We had two wins this week and they had one, plus we were only 19 points behind them in the rankings this week.

In past years, we never had a Sir'Dom who could give us any real offensive production. This year he can drop 20+ and has much more control at both ends. He has become a huge difference maker for us. He's no longer just a defensive specialist. He's awesome on the fast break, and basically doing everything.
I'll add that team defense has been simply awesome this year. Those zones thwt people lamented Lavin using are working amazingly well, even against teams with shooters as we are closing out and playing the zones the way they are supposed to be played.
Full steam ahead... I want to beat the Hall into the ground...

Dom is like an electric car vs a gas car. He can go from 0-60 almost instantly. Part of the problem is that on the break he's almost always been way ahead of everyone. Last two seasons it meant him pulling back and usually stopping at the top of the key-ft line. There was this moment of hesitation. Defenses learned it and very often zoomed in right to that spot to steal the ball right there.
