Not much to add from the earlier report as far as the game itself. Krauser was disappointed with his shooting and the team hitting only 39% as a whole. He said he wasn’t fully back physically (then why did he play 30 minutes?). The worrisome thing was that Chris Taft was out with an infection in his left elbow. While he is expected to be back for the season opener on November 20, an infection makes me nervous. Freshman guard Kieth Benjamin was also out with a sore knee and a cold.
Coach Jamie Dixon spun positive about the better defensive effort. Dixon also said he was still trying to figure out the best way to rotate some of the players in and out of the game. That will be the thing to watch. When the competition gets tougher does he just default to his 5 starters and maybe limit his bench to 2 rather than 4 players.
