Mercer at Ohio State, 9:00, 12/22/15, ESPNU

Guys continuing to dive for loose balls and crash the boards late in a blowout. Love it.

Great defense tonight, very active hands and did a really nice job closing out on the shots.

Mitchell seems to be fitting in just fine and should continue to contribute, even if just coming in as a rebounding/energy guy. I'm glad he cut his hair, though.

Obviously there are no superstars in this team, but I think that may be a positive in the long run. The past couple years, a bad night by Russell/Ross/Thomas pretty much doomed the team. They shouldn't be as dependent on a big game from any one guy this year and can survive a 2-9 game from Loving or Lyle. That being said, there will be games where they might need a superstar effort to someone to get a win, and it feels like there are a number of guys who could do that.

After being very down on this team a week ago, color me cautiously optimistic for the rest of the season.
