Danny Devito sized Brad. I love it
It’s insane. We truly didn’t play great (19 turnovers) and put up a pedestrian 112?!
Real season starts in Lubbock

Two games in and this team has been fun to watch. So many weapons. As deep a bench as I can remember.
Now, on to some real opponents.

Blah blah blah nepotism blah blah blah.
Do whatever it takes to make sure Tyler Underwood has a seat on our bench until he's ready to retire.

All I can say is damn we’re good. Absolute obliteration these past 2 games and Penn very well could win the Ivy this year. They’re a solid team. Insanely impressive through 2 games. This is just about as close to perfection as you can see from a college team. Obscene.
Stefan Vaaks was really good defensively, and really good attacking the rim.
Had some turnovers, didn’t shoot well… but he has learned how to impact the game outside of making 3s.

Brownie had a double double with his points and 10 rebounds.
A little bummed Vaaks gets the 5 TO "eye sore" - i think 2/3 of them the refs really swallowed the whistle due to score. But another solid game IMO.
I do get the Ethan Brown minutes, Latulip is right, ball just finds him. And Brad is right in how much he gets downhill.
I do think with Mirk back (fingers crossed) the Vaaks fit becomes a bit more clear with that starting rotation.

This team is fun. We just scored 112 points against a solid mid-major, in a game where:
Andrej only played 22 minutes
Tomi lead the team in assists
Vaaks didn’t make a 3
Ethan Brown lead the team in rebounds (10!)
We only shot 69% from the FT line.
All without our All-American and our elite glue guy. Daaaaamn.
