Don't understand why they scheduled back-to-back games with only 2 hours for the first one. They always run late. Sometimes as much as 10 or 15 minutes or more. Which is what is happening with our game tonight.

Reid pushing the pace and looking to attack is sooooo fun. Especially against the weaker teams. He creates so much even when it doesn’t necessarily result in scores just the threat and requiring the D to get back adds a lot.

Reid is has really good vision as a pssser. What makes him an even better passer is how he looks off defenders. Keeps guys open that way.

Loved Big Matt but he could jump as high as Page.

I see what you mean. When you are playing so many guys you can run them maybe plus they just look faster as a team.

Nice to singleton make some smooth moves down low. Other parts of his game are still coming along but his work with the ball has veteran calmness and smoothness already.

I don't remember a season when The Cats were so dominant in the first three games. I mean no one has really challenged them yet.

Page at the half: 15 points, five boards, three assists, one steal, one block. Zero fouls.

Is there a stat for the hustle when he dove recovered the ball passed form his back and they scored. That was pure hustle and athleticism I don't think we have ever seen from a center.

We play DePaul next. A Big East team. Will be a test of how good we are. I do agree we never consistently blow “lesser” teams away like this year.

Page being this good offensively was not on my list. Wow.

Having a team this deep is going to help with consistency. Someone has to get hot every night. Nick will always get his, last game it was Reid and West, tonight it's Mullins and Page.

I guess I had read that he was pretty well rounded offensively with a good 3pt stroke and high % from the line.
My worry, without evidence, was "Is there something behind the scene that kept him off the court; bad attitude or lack of hustle or no good in the locker room." he seems to be doing great and I haven't seen any lack of hustle, in fact he is pretty fast coming down the court.
