Freshmen = fearless intensity
Not much could trump the performance by Mikesell last night, but what did stand out was the wholesale intensity of all the Newcomers. They made Freshmen mistakes, but it sure was not due to being timid. They were all fearless and aggressive. Sam Miller swore at himself every time he failed to make a play. Xeyrius was all in. Steve (don't need Big, there is only one Steve!) ran the floor at full gate clear into the 19th minute that he played. Impressive. Crosby was aggressive beyond what he even needed. And Cooke filled up the stat sheet in his 21 minutes. It wasn't totally efficient shooting, but he was all over the floor with 7 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks.
We have a whole gaggle of ballers with the newcomers.
