With the caveat that Bryant was little more than sheep led to the wolves den, there is very little to complain, and much to praise, about how CMF handled the team.
1. No, Toe is not a 2. Whenever Harris gets off his super secret double probation, we will immediately upgrade the 2spot. But CMF gets to discipline his team as he sees fit.
2. 10 players in the first 7.5 minutes. That doesn't seem possible, and it was not done with a wholesale 5-man substitution but a patented CMF steady flow from bench to official table. I know, it was Bryant (see point 1), but I worry about this behavior when we play better teams. The good news is we had little drop-off in intensity and scoring in the first half, unlike in years past where we often found ourselves with some inexplicable lineup that had 1 scorer and a bunch of practice dummies. But I think our starting 5 only played a total of 4 minutes together in the entire game.
3. The good stuff... We ran well, and after a slow start, we tried a press, we ran a lot, we didn't take too long to actually start the second half and we played freshmen.
4. The SEC looked good tonight. It will be a tough conference, so we will need a lot of leadership from our seniors. Go Dawgs!
