Good information. Thanks for the work.

Last years team definitely put up some shots but couldnt stop a 67 year old woman from scoring.

And through 4 games, we've played 3 cupcakes (which I'm sure was the case last year too). So don't put too much validity into our current stats.
In some ways our team won't improve much more. Talent wise, these guys are experienced enough, but they are what they are, not going to improve individually significantly (exceptions may be Chandler, Oweh & Garrison).
But in terms of playing together, knowing where each other are and where their "spots" are, that chemistry, as well as getting settled into Pope's system, I think certainly can improve.

I'm super excited about this team. But I'm trying to remain even-keeled until we see how the team does on the road in the SEC. I said "trying."
