"Mom can we get Victor Wembanyama on the way home?"
"No we have Victor Wembanyama at home."

Don't use your hatred of me against our tremendous animal populations. 

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  Gotta finish.

Fun game. Your defense is gonna be great. UA was missing two of its main ball handlers in Richardson and Muhammad, and as such had absolutely no answer for the press. Not that they would have helped all that much. I actually felt pretty good about what UA showed against a strong Big East team.

Good luck this season! I always root for Millywalkay teams.

Cheese! Oops I meant Cheers!

Didn't see or listen to the game. Hamilton 2&1, no fg attempts in 16 minutes?

A lot of positive energy though

And started game one.  39 games to go.

profound. Thx for the insight.

[Uncle Rico]

Agreed.  It's opening night and a lot can change between now and March.  Tower's response highlights that.  His insight and level-headed analysis is welcomed.

Not by Dodds!

[tower912]

You are welcome.  This is a young team.   Caedin wasn't great in game one.  Growth opportunities and learning experiences.    Not the end of the world. 


And JB, would it be wrong to point out to Dodds the team free throw percentages from last night?

No matta!

It matters far more that MU got to the line so much.  Only one game, of course, but different than we have seen.

Very good point Tower. Like many here, I focused on the poor FT shooting and not the fact that we drew so many fouls. We righted the ship later in the game somewhat though. Same scenario in other games with decent FT shooting could push a close game into the W column.

It's a perfect example game, but he'll never understand. I dare you to do it, though!! Ha, he brings it up nonstop, but absolutely freaks if anyone doesn't agree. Bizarre dude.

[The Sultan]

Well, that's because Dodds is a dimwit who acts like its still 1985.

It's, but you're correct.

I'm sure glad we do not have a scooper like him.

Hard to tell a lot from these first games. Shaka playing a lot of guys, and everyone trying to do too much. The Indiana game will probably be the first indication of what we really have. But, having said that, I was certainly impressed with Nigel James - that kid is a player. I also thought Stevens looked really good. It was nice to see Chase sort of taking charge in the second half and also nice to see Zaide playing well. But, maybe the thing I found most interesting was the way Tre Norman played - good defense and calm and efficient on offense. Looks like he may have made some progress since last season.

On to the next game.

I was actually encouraged by the FT shooting. The guards/wings(Jones, James, Norman, Ross, Lowry and Owens) shot 20-22. Those are the guys that will have the ball late. The bigs struggled, but Gold is probably the only big that will be on the floor when we need to make them and he's shown he can make them in the past so I'm not too worried about him. And like you said, they got there a lot which is the most important thing.

Equally impressed with Tre's game. Young players have a tendency to hoist up a 3 the first time they touch the ball when they get in there. You saw that with Parham and Phillips (and maybe Steven's, cant recall), but Tre showed a lot of poise out there I thought. There will be games when Jones and James are in foul trouble and we'll need him out there for extended minutes. He definitely will have a role on this team.

Tre is a junior but ur point still stands
