We seem to be pretty long at most positions. I like that.

Lol ok then. What’s there now? VIP? I just think rather have the court surrounded. Probably want to condense student section to have more impact. 

[Eli]

lol Roger. Just called Neely Healy...

Yeah, some sort of beer garden (garten?) for the drinkers. Has high tables and bar stools IIRC.

Honestly I just got to learn about our team. Been a long time I watch and I got almost no clue about the team considering all the turnover.

[GreatDanes06]

Holy crap I just realized the UA bench is on the other side now. That’s weird.

I'm with you. I'm not 100% sure who our 'big 3' is and in what order. Who is our #1 option for example? lol. Seems like Neely or Doles?

[jimbo]

I like the constant rotation. Keeps them all involved and interested. Plus gives a lot of feedback and game film. Athleticism improvement seems apparent.

1) I like the court
2) The logo has grown on me.
3) I LOVE the 'mood lighting' above the walking path above the seats. GREAT addition! Now if only they would dim the lights over the seats a bit...make it look like Staples Center in LA. That would look great.
4) I'm looking forward to what DK has in store for this program. We look very athletic.
5) It's so weird watching a home game on TV...at least I'm guaranteed to still have my voice after games lol.

I like the court, logo, LED mood lighting - except the purple on the court is way too light for my taste. Not sure if it’s a university color standardization thing, but our purple used to be much deeper and bolder. Now it’s bordering on floral. 
 

But if they win, they can go pastel for all I care, ha ha.

Sloppy turnovers the last 2 min killed us.  Great from the line though.

Everyone has played so far except Aaron Reddish, Will Amica, and Jamel Horton. Reddish we knew was a project with his athleticism, but the other two were supposed to get significant time. Anyone know what's up? Injuries?

I thought I saw Horton at the beginning of the game? Didn't he start?

[Eli]

Neely is our best player.

Thought he did as well, but his name wasn't in the box score.

 

End of the day this team is playing too much 1 on 1. Only 6 assists as a team with 12 minutes left. No distribution.

And defense has been lacking. Lots of open 3s after Towson passes the ball around. Slow to rotate.
