I went with my kids. First game I have been to in two years. I was boycotting Martin.


Great tmosphere! Love coach P's coaching style. 180 from Martin. Calm, instructs, teaches. Very rarely gets in the refs ear.

Very impressed by Josh Gray. Not the most talented player but works his *** off on the boards and defense.

Bosman-Verdonk (sp)- going to be a very good player. Got a couple cheap fouls called on him. He played tentative after getting his 3rd.

Jackson- physically the best player on the court. Good spot-up shooter and can back a player down. He really needs to work on taking his man off the dribble. He struggles here but he's 17 years old. It will come.

Chico is the man. Played a very good all around game.

Hayden- gives 100% on every play but tried to do too much tonight. I like what he brings to the team with his grit and toughness.

Meechie- i know he was playing with an injury but he really struggled mentally. Three really bad turnovers in the 2nd half in which he just stood around after making the turnover rather than hustling back on D. Huge missed free throw at the end. I didn't get to see much of the first game. Maybe he was just off tonight.

He’s already winning the games that Frank seemed to always lose. Great start.
We only had one major breakdown on defense which resulted in a dunk. It was refreshing to see us play good defense without giving up 5-10 layups or dunks in our half-court defense.

I went too and was very impressed. Sure, we made many mistakes but forced them too. I did not expect to come out with a W!!! And the fans were really into it - good crowd!!

My kids have been to both games. My wife the first, myself the Clemson game. Neither of us could tolerate Martin's antics so quit going. Enjoy listening to Paris speak and watching him coach.

This team may not win a ton of games but they have players that will appeal to all basketball fans.

- an over-achieving white dude and a blue collar seven footer down low.
- a supremely gifted human highlight type player.
- several local players (Ridgeview/cardinal Newman)
- Several pure shooters
- i don't see a me first player on this team
