Can we play box and 1 like that all game? Please do.

We have a deep bench, and Brad should use it this year. I think even JJ can get some tick based on how he played today.

Loved what saw from Coleman, Andrej, Lincoln, Vaaks

Twins should have stayed at home

 

[Epsilon]

You can see the potential for sure.

Good loss minus the injuries! Lots of learning all around!

 

[skyIdub]

Hot take: our full squad beats that Baylor team by double digits.

Good exhibitions so far, getting some solid info about the team and facing legit competition.

If we just have Mirkovic we win, but we need to know what the boot today was all about first.

Second half effort was good. Just like last year, if the effort is there defensively and on the boards we are a legitimate threat. If not, we're not.

Gotta have more out of the twins. Hope they are healthy, as well as Andre; he's definitely not replaceable and is key to our season. Have to have at least some effort defensively from Vaaks, because if we don't get any he's strictly going to be a guy off the bench to give us some offensive spark.

QC is impressive. Have to keep him healthy all season because he scores and rebounds.

Jakstys gave very good minutes as well and played more than he ever has. Good for him.

Our regular rotation also.....they basically used theirs.

Looking forward (or maybe not) to the injury report

Hot take: our full squad beats that Baylor team by double digits.

I'm not sure it's even close. Our rotations in the first half got weird. Like real weird.
And I imagine that's what Brad was partially going for early.

 

[Chillinini]

not worried about the result. More worried about staying healthy. Defense will get there once everyone is back.

95 to 91. We outscored them 47 to 32 in t he 2nd half with basically our "B" team. The "B" team played with a lot of heart. I wouldnt put to much into this as its an exhibition. Hopefully the guys that got hurt are ok by the start of the season.
