Feel like we’re still working thru figuring out our best lineup, roles, etc. Not often that you see a player start, but only play 3 minutes in the first half (Stewart).
I think our best 5 right now is Mingo, Tunca, Stewart/Rice/Dilione (take your pick), Mirtic, Juric. It’s a patchwork roster though…I think Rhoades identity is pressure defense, running in transition, athleticism, etc. But that’s not really what we’ve got.
Interesting stretch ahead. New Haven isn’t looking too bad against UConn and going in there will be a tough environment…but we’ve got enough size and talent that we should be ok. Then three games that could provide a challenge in Navy, LaSalle in Philly, and Harvard. Need to play better if we’re to go 5-0.
Watching our game at the same time as Florida/Arizona, I feel like I’m watching two different sports.

I saw we were trailing the mighty Fairfield Stags by 13 at one point and were trailing by 3 with 2:17 to go. OUCH!
We were on the ropes and survived. I’ll take the win and move along.
