We do have some intriguing newcomers especially Alterique Gilbert. Other than that we have a bunch of newcomers who have never played in D-1 game and we have big questions in the post.
    I like our core... it appears pretty solid with Dex, Tyson, Trey, Morris (Poor Bear and 'wild card' Josaphat) and Alterique... add the newcomers and...

      If we happen to play West Virginia in this tournament the bigs will have a huge early test. With no proven players in the post (although Mo played really well out of the gate last year before faltering down the stretch) I feel like we will lean on them less than ever this year.

      We don’t need them to be the focal point of the team to be successful. They just need to defend, rebound and convert easy opportunities created by the guards.

        • Every time someone posts a new tweet in this thread my stomach drops a bit. All 8 teams need to bubble wrap themselves so that this tourney happens.

          Two more days, that’s all. You can do it!

              • With empty arenas it'll be interesting to see if there's a slight broadcast delay to clean up the language (especially on regular tv vs cable), or if they tell the coaches to keep it clean, or they just say **** it and go with it.

                  And per IHCIB the bigs need to stay out of foul trouble even though we have 15 to give.

                              BTW, I want to make it clear I am not implying this is a transgender tournament, not that there is anything wrong with that.
