From what I could see, we played bully ball and out athleted them. The good news is for the first time in a few years we have pretty good athletes. The bad news is we aren’t so athletic that we will have an advantage over a major conference team. Unfortunately, I didn’t see much on offense that is going to work against teams where the other team has similar athletes to us.

Mintz’s playmaking is getting and better and I love the chemistry he is building with Jesse. But I don’t see JG3 having that type of game when the other team starts guarding him with a stud athlete and I don’t see Jesse being as successful when he has three athletic and tall guys collapsing on him. This team desperately needs another shooter to spread the floor and it would be nice to run some plays to get easy buckets. I was disappointed that they didn’t run nearly as much as we saw that first game against Lehigh and that we completely ditched man 2 man. I don’t think this team is going to be good enough on D to play zone and 100% of the time.

The other good news is based on the evidence against the cupcake portion of the schedule we don’t have to worry about being a bubble team this year. We’ll see where we are after some games against “real” competition.
