finishes in the top 25 it's going to be much easier to make sense of our start to the season.

In the meantime I'll chalk it up to a young team that is learning what kind of intensity they need to bring to each game.

Intensity is key. I don't think playing Merrimack in a half-empty arena is an easy game to get hyped for. I think this version of the Cats might even prefer playing certain games in a neutral/away arena. Spencer seems to thrive on emotion. I think they will be just fine against Pitt

After beating Lesley 110-16, Merrimack might get some AP votes.

seriously, is Lesley a school for the blind? How do you get a result like that in men’s college hoops?

The "Animal" was a big guy and no doubt a solid basketball player in his youth. Personally, I find it impressive that, despite his death in 2013, he was still able to put up 16 points against a talented Merrimack team.
