The basketball team is terrible.

I will qualify this win though. While Arkansas State is a very physical team (yet only had 3 fouls in the first half...) they didn't seem to have a lot of size. Big reason why Nate had such a good game.

Fricks protected the rim well while Obinna and Nate were on the bench. We may just match up well with them.
 
Very impressed with the improvement in defense over last year. Responded well to the physical play from Arkansas State last night. Refs let them bump and get rough. We were shy at first, but after 7 0r 8 minutes, we started pushing back and not being intimidated. Credit to Corny and his staff. Fricks was a stud both offensively and defensively during the stretch he was in. But Martin played an outstanding game on both ends and was seldom off the floor. Great game to watch. Wish our guards were a bit quicker, but they get the job done. Dawson sucked in first half, but gave us a big lift in second half.
