WBB opener

NT 86 Mid American Christian 52

Hard to tell much from a game with a NAIA opponent.   NT got a very early 22 point lead and kind of coasted the rest of the way.    NT too happy to shoot threes, which they didn't do well against a team that should have been able to score easily close to the basket.  

Good news is that NT looks like a much better team.  Holmes a freshman may already be the best player on the team, and is certainly in the top two.  She had 20 pts and 12 rbs.   Bradley was the other star with 18 pts 6 rbs and 6 a's.   Goodheart looks like a much better player than she did last year.   Two new points, freshman Mims and Jr. Juco Smith are both fast.  NT's problem looks like it will be in the frontcourt were injuries have taken 2 out for year and another is not playing yet.   Buckner is big and should be much improved over last year but she needs help.  The other two Bigs who could play are freshman Terrell and sophomore Poland.  Poland was ok against the outmanned MADU, but Terrell looked like a freshman.  However she does look like she will help as she progresses.
