[LIST]
[*]Brandon Knight was unreal this evening. I know 31 pts was impressive, but the zero turnovers was even more exciting to me. A point guard making decisions and scoring as well with no mistakes is very exciting for next season.
[*]Darius Miller was very savvy has he he hit 4-5 from the 3. Darius looked a lot wider and i didn’t even recognize him early. I am very excited about Miller and he looks to be the leader I didn’t think he could be. Especially him ending up with 18 points and 12 boards. Very impressive.
[*]DeAndre Liggins also looked very good in the offense as he went to the hole at will early in the game. Liggins ended up with 10 points and all the talk about the last 2 weeks about him seems to be true. Looks for DeAndre to play a big part in next season.
[*]Josh Harreslon was impressive at times, but he was also Josh Harreslon at times. He did end up with 10 rebounds and some big blocks in the 2nd half. I hope Josh keeps up the intensity and can contribute in the regular season.
[*]Terrence Jones showed signs of greatness, especially with the fake behind the back pass and layup, but he ended up reinjuring his shoulder. He is questionable(football term) to come back but I wouldn’t push him if he is not ready.
[*]Jon Hood is great at the breakaway dunk.
[*]I look forward to seeing more from Doron Lamb and his shooting prowess, but it is hard to make a statement with Knight dominating at the guard position.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow night, as anybody could step up and make a statement for their case to play. Very good win for the Cats, and I don’t see how anyone in the Nation could be disappointed. Go Cats!
