And it makes me appreciate all the more what the Magnificent Seven was able to accomplish with 3 sophomores in the starting lineup, and a bench that consisted of a freshman and a walkon.
Not a bad loss, but definitely one that grounds my expectations for the rest of the season.

The loss of Jerry hurts more than most realize- he played solid D, was a 3 point threat and had great court vision. Also significant is the fact that Frankie is behind the curve having sit out the first 6 games. I think everyone knows this team has potential and is close to being very good. I’m trying to remember its how you finish thats most important. The 3rd year begins the real progress in my opinion. I still think this team wins 20 this year.
