Looks like Coach Gray heard me & put the Catawba Transfer in the game. Turned out to be a game changer. Great comeback for the Cats on the road. You're right, Pelote was a difference-maker toward the end of the game.

When was the last time we started the year 6-0. I think it was before 1980 but not sure.

1065-66... went 6-0 to start with Henry Logan as a freshman. Can't believe we won with 0 points and 3 rebounds from the three post players - Lampten, Williams and Granger...and Tre Jackson making only one 3-pointer. Thank goodness for Woolbright...he was dominating.

Correction...Logan was a sophomore in 65-66.

This team has the championship DNA. Good teams find ways to win games on the road and games from behind. We are really going to know a lot about this team in our next two games against Gardner Webb and High Point. I really feel like this team is going to get better as the soon progresses. We all knew we had a big three with Jones Jr., Jackson and Woolbright but we really didn't know who else was going to step up and contribute. DJ Campbell has really stepped up averaging over 13 points a game. He's also been a great defender as well. Let's not forget last nights hero Bernard Pelote. The team needed a spark and he came in and provided it. But we really lack a big man that can score. Charles Lampten cant score. All he can do is protect the rim, get rebounds and commit fouls. Honestly he's a waste of space. I do feel like Corneilous Williams as he gets more comfortable, he will be able to start picking up the scoring from the big men. He's only a redshirt freshman which if he hits the weight room he could be a handful down low. If he's able to bulk up he could be a lot like Cluade which is exactly what we need. Another concern I have is with the size of our guards. Teams are starting to abuse their size by backing them down and either getting easy buckets in the point or drawing fouls. Coach Gray did make an adjust and sent a double team when guards were getting matched up on Russell Jones. It may not be a concern but its something to keep an eye on. Conference play can't come quick enough.

Had the same row last year and spanked all the way through

We didn't play High Point last year, but we lost to the other three, and the fourth game was a loss to Davidson. Hopefully we can pick up 4 wins from the Big South this year... for what it's worth...
