Probably not going to be a popular opinion but I am not as down after the game as most. Offense was terrible, but I was pretty encouraged by the defense and also effort to the final minute.
What was disappointing is that I thought we would be more crisp with our time overseas, but the competition was poor.
I still like the pieces we have. I think most of our shots particularly by Buddy, were rushed because UVA plays really tight man to man. We have good shooters, I expect us to shoot well this season and I expect as we move forward that this will be an outlier (34 points better be).
Bottom line, it’s one game against the defending Champs, who execute their defense flawlessly. We have a very young team and we will improve.
Hughes can score against anyone and it’s going to come down to our young guys finding their roles and playing within themselves.
Still believe we are a tournament team that will look much better in the coming weeks.
