Are they better then last year? I did not watch any games last year.

IMO, it is really too early to decide if they are better as far as record goes. I know without a doubt that the team is more athletic, quicker, stronger and has WAY MORE heart than last years team. This may be the best inside team has had in years. TDL, Ross, Gregory look really solid and they still have Norman and Hollis to spell some minutes. I hate to admit it but Minton could really help this team at the PG position. But a rule is a rule, and if he doesn't want to cut his hair then cut his scholly and lets move on. This is just being selfish on his part. Just shows that he is not a TEAM player.

Like football, the BB team has to improve steadily over the next 2 to 3 years, but unlike football, they actually have to start beating the better confernce teams in years 3-4 to actually have tangible proof that they are headed toward being a champion. I don't think Price will "pad" his schedule with "cream puffs" to improve the record. But all this remains to be seen. As for me, i am "camping in Missouri" with the "show me" attitude!
