NGU @ Furman Nov. 6th (Opening Night)
Am I the only one concerned with the current level of play?

Our chemistry will get much better. We’re prolly up 25+ with JP. Also NGU isn’t terrible.
Let's hope the 3's are falling on Friday!

Looks like for now the plan is to redshirt Bronson and Humphries
So with JP and AW back Friday we will have our 10 man rotation.............

About what I thought.
Out of sorts on O without JP….We were frantic and out of sync. And on D we are still figuring things out, a bit slow on rotations and saw some guys get confused at times.
Like I’ve said, we are going to have a tough November/early Dec….I guarantee that some on this board will be crying end of the world. But this team has so much talent and depth that when it gels we will be very good. Bowser needs minutes, he will have some frustrating moments, but he will be SOOOOO good. A microcosm of this team.
Molnar, Williams and Hughey are a great group of forwards. Vanderwal brings so much energy. PJ Smith still figuring out his role, which is fine. Marcus Foster trying to step up and be the man and you can tell he feels that burden. He might be SoCon POY candidate. Hein was out of sorts tonite, he will get it figured out.
Just remember this year is just the prequel. Anything we achieve this year is gravy….as this whole roster will be back next year.

Two good assessments from Paul C tonight and Fork 457 earlier today. We need to be patient with this team during Nov. and Dec. We played hard tonight with a lot of effort but not smart. The O was too frenetic and out of sync. The D was better but not as good as it could be.
The one thing I liked was near the 10 min. mark when things started to get tight our group of Smith, Whitt, Vanderwal, Molnar, and Bowser played the rest of the way and extended the lead and did not choke. Coach did not have to put Foster, Hien, and Huey back in the game to get the win.
Give NGU some credit. They played hard and would have loved to knock Furman off on the night they got their rings,etc. They've probably been thinking about this game for months.
I thought Molnar played well and Bowser is gonna be good.
P.S AW might be out with an injury for Friday's game. No doubt we're going to have to be better to beat Belmont.

JP should be back for Friday's game... not too concerned.
Marcus played nicely, and I was impressed by Molnar's efficiency. I liked what I saw from Carter as well.
We need to be better in our passing game... only 10 assists on 84 points... no doubt JP will fix that.
Our biggest flaw (still) I think is our three point defense. Saw a lot of NGU players take wide open shots that went in. If Belmont gets these same opportunities, we will be in trouble.
On to the next game, which I expect to be an offensive shootout.
Go Dins!
