Good things ahead for all of the freshmen. The unique skillsets they each bring to the floor are remarkable. In the same way we talk about waiting on a game for Knight, Pierce, and Milon to be having simultaneous good nights, there will be a night that all five freshmen will be on their A game, and the wow factor will jump even more.

Radford was very, very good. We may have not yet found the 3 point shooting prowess of last year, but the defensive effort is far better than past Tribe teams. Radford simply made us pay for any momentary individual lapses.

Hate to lose, but I left Kaplan last night feeling very, very good about this team. The improvement since High Point is visible. Let's hope we continue to see more scenarios of Knight fouling out a starting center and getting the backup to four fouls trying to contain him.

Even if Pierce and Milon are not back on Saturday, I expect these guys will bring it even harder.
