Moonlight Madness

We just got in from Baylor's Moonlight Madness event - the official start of practice for men's & women's basketball. The attendance was not great, but it is Fall Break and most of the students are gone. With it being Friday night high school football areound town, very few students, and the poor results for men's basketball the past few years I guess the crowd was actually pretty good.

I can't really comment a lot on the women because we didn't see them do too much. I thought Jhasmin Player had a nice shot from 3 point range.

On the men's side, we look to be very athletic. I don't suppose we ever had three 7 footers before. Dou, Lomers & Jari are big. Lomers is really big. All the guys have been working out. The biceps, shoulders, and general upper body development on all the returning players was noticable to me. We're clearly a lot better. And to me Lomers and Thiam were the best surprises. I don't know how much Thiam will be able to play, because he is so rail thin, but he is an incredible athlete. He's 6 foot 10 inches and plays like a guard. I think Lomers will be able to contribute this year. He's a big body, moves fairly well, and had a nice looking shot. Best of all, I thought he had pretty good hands. It was great to see Bruce completely healthy. I think we have a chance to be decent this year.
