Still, a striking absence from today was Raymond Syke's game. He started the season gangbusters, but now has brought back "tiny wine" hands Sykes, circa 2006-2008.

Sykes scores 2 of his dominating 4 pts to go along with his 2 rebounds, his 1 assist, his 2 blocked shots and three personal fouls, awesome. (from the Greenville News)

Also notably absent from Saturday's game was a healthy crowd.

Now, the Tigers are 10-0, going for 11-0 Tuesday night at 7:30 in Littlejohn against North Florida. That will be their last gimme-if any game can be called such-game of the season.

The difficulty of the remaining games increases exponentially, as the Tigers follow the UNF game with a short hop down to Coral Gables to take on Jack McClinton and Miami on 1/21.

That brief, early ACC game is followed by South Carolina, 12/30, East Carolina, 1/3 and Alabama, 1/6, respectively before the full-on ACC Season begins against NCSU on 1/10

It will not get any easier for the Tigers as the season unfolds.

Go Tigers!
