They will definitely have their struggles this year but you can tell they are a much better put together roster. Have multiple ways of scoring, couple different matchup options.

Yep, really liked what we saw from King and Kimble overall, gives us some decent depth at guard, which was a major concern. Like what we saw from Dowd, Freeman, and Ngoy as well.
We need Tahaad to be more pass first to truly be an effective team though. Though it's nice to see zero turnovers from him.

2. This is a much more talented team than we had last year.
Yeah, enjoyed that one. And so much more depth even without Mantas..Really isn't close.

This team is going to be fun to watch. I thought Kolby King was a late edition to take up minutes, but he’s a straight up baller. 15 points and 7 boards is pretty strong for a debut. He and Kimball are going to make a really good second back court.
Owen Freeman is going to be a really good player. I was glad to see him get some good quality minutes tonight.
Dowd is going to be a pest. He’s gonna frustrate some opponents.
We’re not very athletic at the 5 spot, but both Ngoy and Okoye have better hands than I thought. They both are going to be liabilities at the FT line.
Overall, I’m looking forward to the season. This team has a way better roster than last year.

That was a really bad team we played but we already look better defensively than we ever did last season. The effort was there.
Still want to see if we can stay in front of truly athletic wings driving to the basket.
Do we have a 40+ % sniper that really stretches the floor. KO can be but from the 2 spot he needs to do more cutting and cross court movement. Olsen appears to have that mentality and Dowd showed flashes but I’d like to see if Olsen can put the ball on the floor and drive when being overplayed.
Still lots of questions that won’t be answered until January.

You could probably find a boot keg version on Youtube

ESPN +. It’s worth it, can see all basketball and baseball which we enjoy.
Corch, we got some shooters in Olsen and KO. Hopefully Williams can also be that guy consistently. Freeman and Tahd are my keys tho, if they are good we’ll be top 1/3 of SEC.

We’ve got some guys who can shoot it…Olsen, KO, King, and even Kimble, and even Freeman. Pettiford was still hurling up bricks from deep, but he was effective getting to the rack last night.
I keep thinking one of these years Pett’s outside jumper will “get on track” but I think he’s just never going to be a very consistent shooter.

I use a Firestick. Have options, Hulu, ESPN, You Tube, ABC, they will always give a streaming list on the TV info.
Got tired of making mortgage payments to Spectrum. Now I can watch Movies or sports ,……
Ex Wife’s Husband was a security programmer for the government. He took the Ex and lived in Spain for six years. They saw all they wanted to see in Europe. He gets on the phone with me and coaches me through everything. I offer my construction management background when they build anything on the farm. I coach back, or provide sketches and overnight them. If it’s something the building department, needs, I get the stamps they need.
We both gave away my daughter for her last marriage…both had her terrified before walking down the aisle. Have enjoyed our company ever since. Our agreement was for the sake of Grandkids and Great Grandkids. The plan works well.

I think the team will be better than last year. Floor is absolutely the tournament. I worry how we will handle more athletic bigs but king is much improved over any back up guard we had last year. It looks like Caleb williams will become a E Freeman clone

Got it
I like Starlink apps the best. See a football game without all the idiocy behind the Mike.

He surprised me in each exhibition game
Has a really good body (no homo)
Fluid motions, plays very calmly and makes good decisions through 4 games of action.
He's been my favorite surprise thus far.
He reminds me a little bit of freshman Tre Donaldson but Tre was frustrating at times mostly because we needed a lot from him. That's not the case with Williams I don't think even though he might get as many or more minutes than freshman Tre
