Not easy to watch. No offensive rebounding.

Positives
Wooden looked good
Harvey looked good
Christmas is athletic, had monster dunk

If I had to pick the best freshman game 1 I would go with Wooden.

What about Jacobs? Per Mettlen's tweets, it seemed he balled out coming off the bench.

Wow - Looking at that score the game was a little be more competitive than I would of expected. Does not appear we shot well.

I guess we'll get a better feel on Wednesday against Charlotte.

It feels like it is going to be another long year

Jacobs played well, shot the three well.

Banks could not buy a jump shot. Every player has one of those nights.
Lewis did not have a great shooting night.
Wilson again struggled with bunnies and was pissed at himself. Wilson is one of my favorites players. He needs to get past missing 2-3 easy buckets a game.

Parker was Parker, had a few nice back door cuts.

Flowers did not dress. He has no cast, no limp, I don't get what injury keeps Flowers out of the lineup.

The freshman looked like decent CAA players but none can be or should be counted on to score 20 a game.

I did not see anything to suggest that this team is significantly different that last year.

Flowers should be ready for the Charlotte game, which would presumably give us nine bodies. Bad shooting night, yet we scored 80 points, albeit against a D3 opponent in an exhibition. Are we really getting up and down the court that fast? If so, I'm excited to watch this team this year.

Was that meant to be negative or positive?

Neutral I guess. Mid pack CAA with a few big wins and a few blew it losses
