It?s almost here, boys. I?m really excited about this year?s team. I think we take a big step forward.

Ado had 17 points/7 boards/2 blocks but just as exciting was Herard’s 17 as well. If both those players give us great production, we will be in great shape.

My dog tag shows the tickets have been printed ..any word on when they will be shipped? Also does anyone know how the tickets for the double header will be handled? Will we get the seats that we have for our season tickets ?

Was flipping through some of the preseason basketball magazines at the supermarket yesterday. One of them, I believe it was Lindy's, has us finishing 7th in the SEC and making the NCAA tournament . I am excited about this team as I think Ado and Nick Weatherspoon are going to help take our defense and overall tenacity to the next level

Ado is critical to this team's chances.

Interesting, Eli Wright was top scorer in the scrimmage.

He really worked hard in the offseason and Howland has been very high on him. He will get a lot of minutes this year at the 2-3 positions.

backcourt shaping up to be pretty strong

Schedule will hurt us. We could win 25 and still not make Tourney. I do think we will upset some teams this year.

We need some big, signature wins in conference or we'll end up an 8/9 seed.

The schedule is an embarrassment. Sounds like we are going to go small a decent amount of the time with X at the 4. I like it b/c we have 6 very good guards.

If we win 25, I’m not going to complain one bit.

[Howboutdemdogs]

When do tickets get mailed out?

Me either! That will be a huge improvement!!

Hopefully this will be the year we finally get back to where we were. I'm still not sure about the inside game though.

Gregg Ellis just replied to VP Pence about leaving the Colts game early. I wish the staff and admins for our sports programs would stay out of politics on Twitter. Derek Cody does enough damage to cover all the stupidity for everyone associated with the university.

EJ Datcher getting some praise from Howland, nice!

EJ Datcher getting some praise from Howland, nice!

I thought he looked like a worthwhile project last season. Hopefully the praise from Howland is real and not just encouraging him

I’ve never seen Howland so giddy. It’s really making me excited for this season.

EJ must have spent a lot of time in gym over the off season. He looks like a beast!

Feazell looks good too, but even with Ado and the improvement of all the bigs, the coaches seem to be most excited to play a 4 guard line up.
