Good weekend for us in Buffalo and Cincinnati. The scrimmage against Buffalo was very good as we got towork on some things that we've been struggling with. They were very athletic and play extremely hard. They took us out of a lot of the things we wanted to do and it was good to see how we responded, both good and bad. We then went to Cincinnati and were a little undermanned, with no Mike or Kyle, plus the 36 fouls we committed didn't help our depth either. I thought we did some very good things. We were down 10 with a little more than 10 to go, which was much better than when we played them in Ottawa. We struggled the last 10 minutes, but in fairness to the guys on the floor at the end, it was for some of them their first real game experience and it had to come against a Big East team at their place.
We are still a long way away from being a good basketball team, but I still think the kids are playing pretty hard and although we are going to have a number of setbacks this year, I do think we could compete at the end of the year. This week will be a good test as we get Guelph and Brock and Guelph is finally healthy and they always give us major problems. Hopefully we can do what we need to defensively and find a way to win a tough game.
