I look for the freshman to get a lot of run in this game .

I read that Cam is battling an illness as well so he’s iffy for tomorrow.

I think this team is ready to play an opponent and I could see Rippey and Howard getting a lot of burn .

I listened to the first half, followed statcast the second half.

I think it was a good first outing.

Too many TO’s but hopefully that’ll improve as we move ahead.

Loved the made FT’s!

If anyone had any doubt about Boom Boom, he's the real deal. Blackwell looked so calm out there and Sarr was aggressive and there most important part about him was he made his free throws. Rip will be hard to keep off the floor with his defensive pressure and athleticism. The extra year really really helped Wilkins.

The offense was shaky to start . Defense looked good . Switching 1-5 is going to be very easy for this team in terms of guarding the opponents. Sarr is going to spend a lot of time on the free throw line this season. He’s not settling he’s attacking with a purpose .
Going to be a fun season .

On paper, this is a deep and talented squad. It's quite possible that someone different leads the team in scoring each game, and a team where 4-5 average at least 12 a game. Also a team where multiple guys can start, but won't, and possibly no one plays more than 30 minutes a game.

If Jon can manage the egos, and keep everyone bought in, we might have a serious chance to cut the nets down in April.

Health is going to be key for this team . BB still has a lot of room for growth but his three point shot looks good . Rippey is going to be a pit bull on the court . I see a lot of games where there could be three guards on the court.
Meyers and Howard are dark horses. Both move good with out the ball and can use some more muscle . Is it me or does Howard look a little bit like Mark Mitchell?
