Notes from Saturday's Scrimmage
Although I wasn’t able to attend the scrimmage this morning due to a medical problem, I was able to get some highlights from the scrimmage from someone that was there. I think Coach Stansbury is happy with the progress the team has made over the last week since practice started. In a previous column I told you that Coach thought defense and rebounding could win games and then I added that some offense was also needed. That came out in the scrimmage today. The shooters were lighting up the place. We still need a bunch of work on defense, but the offense shown today can carry this team a long, long way. Three standout things occurred today. Coach has probably now identified our back up point guard and it ain’t who we suspected it to be. I think we all were fairly certain the back up would be Ben Hansbrough. If you were in that camp, you (and me) were wrong. Phil Turner has garnered that position. Secondly, Phil was on fire from behind the 3 point line. And thirdly, our new secret weapon has turned out to be none other than Riley Benock. He showed today how adept he is at playing the game and like Phil, he hit 5 of 6 from behind the line. When these kids can make 50-60 points in 20 minute halves in a scrimmage, just think what they can do later. If they can make the same progress over the next week that they made the previous week, we’ll see a heck of a scrimmage on the 27th. And speaking of that scrimmage, look for that scrimmage time to either be 3 to 3:30 in the afternoon, or 6:30 to 7 in the evening. More to follow.

I'm expecting another report from 004 with detailed stats later on today. - Arliss
