Yvan was 17 last year?!

He was 17 this year until March.

This is a lot more fun than last year and we certainly look like we pass the eye test and are a representative Big 10 team this year

[hskr4life]

Certainly going to want to tighten up on D.  However, offense won’t be a problem this year.  Neither will 1-2 guys getting in foul trouble.

[jayschool]

8:3 Assist to Turnover ratio so far.

I was joking since the announcers mentioned it. Should have put one of these

Pick and roll defense needs work.  Blanton gets a lot of rebounds.  This team looks to get out in transition which can be accomplished by defensive rebounding.

[jayschool]

We're missing layups and FTs. Last year we missed everything.

I was being an annoying pedant — "year" versus "season."

Feels like letting Mayen shoot open 3s at the top of the key isn't nearly as good of a strategy as letting Kevin Cross launch them

[jayschool]

God of Thunder sighting.

Stevenson didn’t play the first 8-9 minutes and he’s doing this.  Me likey that.

[jayschool]

Thor's Hammer.

[hskr4life]

No ones going to be able to play zone against us this year.

[HuskerCager]

This seems to be going better than last year's UC Riverside opener

6. Webster

7. Yvan

8. Stevenson

9 and 10. NOT IN YET. Andre and Wood.

 

 

Doh.  My badness.

[hskr4life]

Not too shabby for “the worst power conference D1 team in the nation.”

[jayschool]

We're 67 percent from the line!!!!

[aphilso1]

70% from three is acceptable.  

[thrasher31]

Guys. I'm going to be glued to Banton all year. He's the kind of player I would design in a lab. 

[Cazzie22]

I am a little concerned about our choice of shoe color

[Bugeaters1]

12 Ast. on 16 made buckets

 

[REDZONEDAN]

This is fun!

Sheesh... this a very different team from last season.  In a good way!

Seriously, if this is the worst team in the Big Ten, then the conference should replace the NBA East.

[hskr4life]

I would say that we pass the “eye test” even though this is McNeese State.

This is what Big Ten teams do to Southland teams.
