    I thought we looked pretty good at first, then I don't know what happened. Whatever the case is, it was a better opener than last year. It is just gonna take some time. There is a lot of new players and they are playing in a system nearly the complete opposite from Burke. I believe it will ok once everyone gets used to things. There was some flashes of some very good play- especially by Whack, Wiggins, and Owens. The biggest issue is that we did not have any inside game. Krajina did not show up until the game was nearly over. Barber was basically non existent and so was Parker. I found that very odd. I wonder if they were being disciplined for something, he did not play them very much at all? If they get any inside game and if Castellanos can stop running around all over the place bouncing the ball all around, then we will be fine.
