The season is here!
- Trouble finishing at the rim. Let sac st hang around longer than they should have. They missed 12 shots within 3 feet of the rim. That obviously can't continue and I don't think it will. But they were able to get to the rim, so that was good. They had a shot at the century mark tonight.
- Miles chalked a lot of the first game struggles, especially from the newcomers, to nerves. That's not too surprising. I expect them to settle down in the next couple games.
- Active defensively early. That kept Sacramento State from taking advantage of some of NU's struggles.
- Jordy slow on defense. Looked a little nervous. I want to see him play through some of that. I think he'll be fine, but tonight was not a good night for the young center.
- Sac St the aggressor in the middle if he first. Scrappier. just couldn't get over the hump. I think they tied it up late in the half at 31 (?) but NU kept swatting the Hornets away.
- On that 3 Watson hit at about 9:15, that would have been a 2 last year. Nice little development during the offseason. I know that was something he worked on.
- The Morrow jumper is a nice development, too.
- Taylor had a nice drive and on the whole has been better than I expected so far. I don't like when he has to handle the ball or bring it up the court. If he gets in a spot where he has to run the show and gets hit with a press, it's not gonna be pretty.
- Juggling chainsaw guy was interesting or something. How do these guys make these career decisions?
- Watson to McVeigh. Get used to that.
- They came out if the break much better. Miles rode the starting five for the first 8 minutes of the 2nd half. That crew looked really, really good. They just need to get the second line up to speed. Things got stagnant in a hurry when they broke those five up.
- Morrow is gonna do a lot more dunking this year. Throw a dart or two occasionally, too. Healthy Ed is gonna be fun to watch.
- First shot clock review of the year... Hopefully that won't be something that happens a lot, but it went pretty quickly tonight.
- Defensive rotations from the first line were really good. Lots of switching, but looked to be constantly communicating.
- I didn't know dancing like Uma Thurman was a thing...
- Wonder what the sac st coach said to get the T.
- Watsons just a stud.
- 4 in double figures. 2 over 20.
- Career highs from both Glynn and Ed.
- A lot of good things happened tonight, finishing at the rim aside. Rebounded well. Took pretty good care of the ball. 48% from the floor is pretty impressive considering how many in close range they missed tonight.
