Cannot wait to see how we match up.
For a couple of years our kryptonite was a big physical EJ Liddell forward.
Last year our kryptonite were strong physical guards like Pickett and Tony Perkins.
I think the only potential kryptonite for our team this year are smaller, quicker PGs. And Harris is a great one. Can’t wait to see how we match up. And the best news is it doesn’t count. Great early test for our team.

And there are some tough MFers on the schedule.
Noticed they were running ads during the game tonight that non-prime 200 level tickets are down to $40, so looked at the ticket availability and … wow. Was expecting this thing to be a sellout, but this is looking pretty rough for a week out. Hopefully they can fill all the open seats with students and some donor writes a check to make up for the cause.

OMG that would be insane. Wait until the player intros for him to walk out, and then have a camera zoomed in for Hunter’s reaction.
I think we win pretty easily. Call me crazy

No wonder it is not a sellout. They priced this game like it was a top conference game. $80-90 for upper tier. It is an Exhibition game not the Final Four.
Just drop the exhibition and make it the season kickoff game.
We need to keep our undefeated streak vs Hunter Dickinson alive (but if we lose, this game doesn’t officially count so technically he still hasn’t beaten us).
Even though this game is an exhibition it will be a good check to see where we are against a top tier team and what we have to improve on. The bar is set high.
It is a time to see who blends together the best and the strength and weaknesses of each player on both teams.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Brad treat this more like a regular season game without concern for how many minutes everyone gets. Or the first half is all business for both teams then the second half becomes the lets work on lineups and see what develops. Just guessing for the fun of it. Does anyone have any insight on how we are going to approach this exhibition game?
I would imagine he’ll treat it like a regular season game. It’s a great opportunity to build hype for the team in front of the fans and TV audience.
