That and friendly rims can't hurt either for guys like JJ.

Purdue is a team there is a better  blueprint on how to beat now. They should get improved play at guard but they are lacking in backcourt athleticism which was an issue late last year.

Kansas is a stacked lineup. New pieces to work out. No idea if it has an impact but the HD addition has had some hard feelings echoing in their front court with one recent portal entry. Then you have maybe the highest paid collegiate athlete ( that we know) and how that dynamic plays out.

The Zags reloaded but also for the first time in what feels like a decade they have to run things through someone not named Timme.

Marquette to me comes in the strongest and would be the favorite for me.

Tennessee got some key guys back and will be one of the strongest backcourts. They also are inconsistent and had their own bit of turnover.

UCLA to me is much weaker than they have been and takes a step back this year.

So who knows if any of the above plays out in our favor but there is opportunity here without need to look at this a no win scenario outside Chaminade.

Last- on our side will be the storyline of the new backcourt having a vested interest in maximizing the opportunity to get some attention their way in the biggest pre season stage there is. If we get Mccleod, he may possibly get another shot at Edey to avenge their matchup in Tallahassee last year. Does that workout as a team positive? Let's hope
