A couple of things-

1 - Time will tell but I don’t think Fennels athleticism will matter much in terms of his playing time. He’s crafty and smart and a high IQ player in general who showed he has a solid shot in the World Cup. I think he earns his way on the floor and is effective as a reserve albeit in limited time.

2- Sadiq is a tbd but if he is a high motor and big time defender he is going to get minutes even at the expense of those other guys or if we go without Kyle or Souare on the floor.

3- I concur on the offense looking more like the norm late. I will also say that when they switched to the short roll even in the first half it gave UB problems. I still think you see Kyle being used in that action but by no means exclusively like was the case to your point.

4- The make up of this UB team is a bit more like the old Oates teams( not as talented of course) in that they have more physically strong bully ball types out there. This is a change from how they have looked the previous two years. No idea if they are any good. McKenna is a bit of an interesting player given his journey and looks to be a problem in that league. Freitag didn’t play at Wisky but has a solid pedigree and talent. Pair that with their returning guys and that roster is good enough to compete in the MAC in this portal era imho. That means nothing for us though of course.
