Next Up: @ Kent State (9-2, lost to Louisville by only 13 and beat Oregon St. by 3)

TV/Streaming: ESPN+

Another ugly game against Manhattan but the young Danes pulled it out and made enough plays to win. Next up is another very solid opponent Kent State on the road. Gonna be tough to get out of there with a W.

Kent St just beat Oregon St 66-63 in Corvallis

[godanesgo99]

Flory makes his #domore debut and will supposedly play significant minutes. I have low expectations after the injury, but I'm interested to see who will lose time with another player added to the mix. DeSousa showed some signs of life with a nice dunk in traffic against Manhattan, and I'd like to see him continue to get time and gain confidence. Flory can play the 2 or the 3 and the team has a lot of players in those roles. I'm thinking that at this moment the team looks like this:

• 1: Clark, Miller, Brooks
• 2: Healy, Flory, Fruscio (WO)
• 3: Rizzuto, Campbell, deSousa
• 4. Lulka, Lauderdale
• 5. Hank, French
• RS: Jerotic, Starks (may never play again)
• Flory can play the 3, Rizzuto and Healy can play the one or the 2, and Campbell can play the 4.

It's a pretty versatile team. I think we all can agree with Brown that there is a chance that the team can be very good if they can figure out how to put it all together. 

I'd love to see Brown sub more often and play more uptempo, but that just isn't his style.

Kent looked pretty good what I saw at Oregon St. Before that I would’ve said that except for the two-point win at Vandy, most of their wins were against pretty poor teams. Wright St was probably their best win otherwise

[UAalum72]

Missed the first half of Coach's radio interview today, but he said the staff has about decided to tell the guys to just stop trying to set picks  - point of emphasis by officials this year giving us four or five fouls per game.

Agreed on uptempo and subs. Entertaining in a year where W's will be hard. Might see more students with more Desousa dunks. Normally I appreciate a more deliberate approach and emphasis on D but this year, not so sure.

Solid start! 

[Eli]

Flory in! #23

Edited December 29, 2018 by Eli

[nysteve661]

Very nice start but we will, as always, hit a scoring drought.

[Eli]

Healy raining 3s from NBA range and beyond. 3rd one. 

[nysteve661]

That Clark drive must drive CB to drink.  Totally unnecessary. 

[Eli]

This team is so turnover prone. Gotta keep telling myself it's inexperience. 

[Eli]

So much for our good start...

[Clickclack]

Horrible call on that last foul...
