We had 6 transfers score a combined 67 points in last night's game. Was expecting this to be a terrible year for basketball, but apparently we might have a competitive team thanks to all these transfers.

Maybe after you get past the very top tier guys, basketball transfers aren't as expensive as football transfers.

Maybe it's because teams can't carry that many guys on their roster so they can't hoard as much talent.

Whatever it is, we're a lot more competitive in the basketball transfer market than we are in football, which is backwards on its face. I mean Dabo says guys aren't good enough to play for our football team or else they've been tampered with and are too expensive . . . which means that our team is too competitive for transfers, yet we can't afford the top transfers, which seems impossible.

Anyway, here's to the Tigers beating expectations in basketball this year. Not being preseason #4 in the country sure helps.
