Now comes what is sure to be the toughest game of the whole season, and we get the Kansas Jayhawks right here on our home court. I think for once this season, The Show will really show, along with the rest of the crowd. Should be a wild night.
The key question: Which Aztec team will show up? The casual one that was humiliated by USD? The one that looked totally lost against a very good and aggressive WVU? Or the more typical Aztec team that throttled a then-ranked Cal and also dominated Nicholls by 37 points.
Another question: Which players will carry the load. Certainly true Freshman Jeremy Hemsley has developed even faster than expected, and Trey Kell is proving to be what he couldn’t quite be last year when forced into an awkward role.
But the starting line-ups have hardly been what we expected. Zylan Cheatham has shown he’s all we hoped for, but still needs to play more under control, Winston Shepard has played well in parts of games coming off the bench. Skylar Spencer still is a great shot blocker and now shoots FTs better right-handed.
There is no doubt in my mind that Coach Fisher and his staff will sharpen this team and the Aztecs will be a player in the MW. But maybe not in the dominant role anticipated. The game with Kansas, Tuesday, December 22, will tell us a lot. If you are a ticket holder, you’d better be there to do your part!
