Thanks for this! Great way to spend a Friday morning.
First Half Thoughts:
1. Samari Curtis is deadly even if the shot is ugly.
2. We're going to kill a few lazy teams this year with our back cuts.
3. I actually like the Cross and Yuv switch at the 5. It presents two different looks for opposing teams big men.
4. Thor has a basketball IQ through the roof. That kid might not be an All-American, but there is certainly a place for someone like him on every team.
5. If you thought our shot making ability was rough... check out Doane from about the 15 minute mark to the 5 minute mark. EEK.
Second Half Thoughts:
1. Burke had 8 points...... in the first 2 1/2 minutes of the second half. I have a feeling we will see moments like that out of multiple guys this year.
2. Do we have some of the best guards in the Big 10? Interesting to see how they shape up on the guard front once conference play starts.
3. Sure, we'll be mis-matched in the paint, but we will provide our own fits on the perimeter I think.
4. We might beat some teams just with our ability to run, run, run.
