ANALYSIS

What can we make of a blowout win over a team that is not even in the NAIA?

Maybe not much. The fact is that the Mocs should have dominated this game, and they did. What they did show was that Coach Shulman has been right about Drew Baker. He really does provide more energy to the game. He brought energy and excitement that the Mocs have been missing desperately. He was the second leading scorer and the second leading rebounder on the night in 18 minutes of action.

Of course, this was against Warren Wilson. Can he bring that against a D1 school? We'll know more when the Mocs take on Savannah State and Gardner-Webb this weekend. That will tell us a lot more about Baker and his role on this team.

Ricky Taylor seemed to have his attention grabbed by being benched at the start of the game. He scored a team high 17 points on 6 of 7 shooting. Dontay Hampton (who started in Taylor's place) scored 11 points and had seven steals. He played well as well.

Keegan Bell finally made a couple of threes, which was nice, but you still get the feeling that he is struggling shooting the ball. Omar Wattad only played eleven minutes, and I was reminded that his back was ailing him in the preseason. I have to wonder if that may be bothering him in season. He has not been hot shooting so far this year. Could the back be the reason?

Rico White played great defense, but could not get a shot to fall. Remember how hot he was against Tennessee Wesleyan? He can't find it in the regular season.

The Mocs dominated all of the Four Factors- which is as they should against a team like Warren Wilson.

All in all, we learned very little from tonight's game. But that's good. That's what we are hoping for. We didn't want to learn anything. If we had learned anything, then it would have been a really bad sign for the Mocs. They held an outmanned opponent to the lowest point output by an opponent since 1989. All in all, not bad. But nothing learned.

GO MOCS!
