We have to remember how young we are. Pat Birt is the only senior we have and we have a couple of kids waiting in the wings to fill his spot when he does graduate - redshirt transfer Curran Scott who was a starter at Charlotte as a freshman, and up and comer Lawson Korita - both of whom are in the same size range (6-4 to 6-5) as Pat. So we are very young and somewhat inexperienced. That will all change next year. So bless his heart, Pat, may not be missed as much as we feared next year. But to get us to the next level this year, it would help if he suddenly caught fire.

Magnay played a little more like the freshman he is and we got beat on the boards, but this team has its best days ahead of it and Will Magnay is a "BIG" part of that. We have a week off and then play Texas St (who finished 15-16 and 8-12 in the Sunbelt last year) at home, so we can lick our wounds a few days and get back in the swing of things soon enough.
