This year's exhibition rules:
1. Don't lose
2. Don't get injured.
3. Don't build unreasonable hype.

Mission accomplished...in an effort that doesn't inspire lofty optimism.
We’ll win some games we’re not supposed to; lose some games we shouldn’t lose and end up with around 10-14 losses. We’ll make the tournament, if that’s good enough for the average fan, but I’m not going to pretend we’re a title contender or even a conference title contender.

Mom and Trent Noah are the same player. Spot up shooters
Zoom will ruin this season. Starting with his play. Then when he loses his starting spot he will infect the locker room. I cam see the drama before it happens.

Body language already shat.
I’m not saying it won’t happen, but for what he makes he should be happy to fold towels if needed.

I want no major injuries this year. That way there's no excuses. record will be whatever it will be.

Maybe this team can prove to be better than a fringe top 25 team. I wanted to see them play better, when they keep energy up and play smart and dont turn it over, they can be good.

I'll take the result.

They can do better if they'd just get MOM some clear shots.

If Zoom can figure it out.....we could be dangerous. That's a big if though.
Is Morton supposed to play a lot of minutes can he spell Wilkins and Williams?

Personally I would like 3 guard lineup more often with Milan at the 4 some. Depending on how good a healthy Morton is. You could play 3 guards and Zoom be the 4th guard spot minutes.

I am not disagreeing, but if that's the outcome, Batt will be looking for his first coaching hire.

I will say our defense is way better than I thought it would be. It may end up being our best under Pope.
Defensive rebounding was concerning tonight, but I agree.

Moreno is older. Mom is better than expected. We have a number of long, mobile guys who defend on the perimeter.

Oh yes we are! Just you wait and see. Elite 8 at worst
