This can be a very good team, especially if we improve defensively.

I think we will be hard to stop on offense given the number of scorers and versatility.

I sure wish this team was going to play better teams at home so the fans would have a reason to come watch them!

I agree .. but man i think this team might actually dominate all of those bad teams ..

I sure hope so. It’s hard not to be excited. But I think I have PTSD from three or four straight years of early promise that fades quickly in conference play. And I think if we were to go back and pull up the game thread from the opener two years ago, we would see a lot of very similar comments about how athletic and deep that team was.

I will go ahead and say that I think i am going to be very very wrong on Reid .. He looks and moves very very well .

this is the first time in a long time we have 2 centers who look like they belong on the floor with another p4 team.....athletically.
unfortunately neither will likely contribute a great deal in the scoring column.
but if they can at least play solid defense and stay out of foul trouble.....we'll be fine.
we have lots of others who will fill up the scoring column..

edit: i couldn't believe my eyes when rogers got 3 blocks in 5 seconds and didn't foul

It’s very encouraging, no doubt. But that team two years ago won their early season tourney by beating teams that everyone thought would be very good, and last year’s team had an even more impressive run through a high quality tourney. I’m hopeful. It’s very nice knowing we won’t have to rely on guys like Sam, Elvis, Duke, and Goodine. Those guys just weren’t on the same level athletically as the people they played against in the SEC. We won’t be the most athletic team in the league, but we shouldn’t be completely outmanned most nights. That alone is a great step.

Final Stats

They got 13 more shots than us.. prolly our O boards we gave up

Great FT shooting

Good 3 shooting (I like that we had less 3 attempts than wisky showing we arent too obsessed, but maybe we shouldn't have bc thats not how the game is anymore)

Looks like a ton of talent. Should be no excuses this year and its all on pm to put up or move on. Let's do some damage
