I have heard KD will be in an advisory role (and may already be). But I am also skeptical on GVH as AD.

This would seemingly allow Freeman to get back to the wing role they wanted him in originally.

You making this joke and then Akron getting destroyed in the paint the next night was certainly something.

All i have to say is WellDone>WellSaid DoOrDoNot

Yeah, he's not looking good. I hate seeing it - he seems like a great young man and I think part of transferring was trying to get a fresh start and finish his career strong.

It's definitely a much, much different style of basketball than we have been playing. I agree we don't look comfortable yet, and that's led to some really ugly possessions. You just have to hope and believe they'll find it and click at some point. There's definitely a lot of talent on the roster.

Figured I'd share for anyone else curious. Mikal Dawson is averaging 6 PPG in 23 MPG but his shooting numbers are ugly - 5-26 from the field overall and 4-19 from 3. Good kid, hope he can turn it around. Ryan Prather Jr. is playing well early for Robert Morris, starting and leading the team in scoring. He's averaging 13 PPG and shooting a red-hot 67% from deep range. Darrion Baker is averaging 7/2 in 15 MPG for SIU Edwardsville.

Final tally: 55-26 on the boards, 60-18 points in the paint.

I was honestly a bit surprised to see him back this year, especially with Gray and Wilson brought in and knowing Young was going to play right away.

Tavari can't hit a layup to save his life.

Haha I mean I know we are small and getting abused inside. I just didn't realize just how small we were!

Lyles was 0-6 from 3PT range in his collegiate career coming into tonight lol

I just realized 7 of the 10 who have played tonight are 6'3" or shorter.

39-18 on rebounds, 36-6 points in the paint. Yikes.

Going from having Enrique Freeman to having basically nobody with inside scoring ability on the roster is a bit of a culture shock. If our outside shots aren't falling, this offense will get ugly at times over the course of the season. I worry about interior defense and rebounding outside of Okonkwo, too.

Tavari is shooting 6-26 (23%) so far this year. He's taken the 2nd most shots of anyone on the team through 2.5 games.

Lucky to only be down 8.

Rebounding is a major problem. 29-14. Okonkwo is the only one crashing the glass hard.

Tavari can't finish at the rim.

You can be up-tempo and not settle for low-percentage looks.

We're firing up shots like the shot clock is only 10 seconds. Look for good shots!

10-4 on the glass, outscoring us 10-2 in the paint. Need to change that quickly.

Zips just posted a few photos on Facebook of the players on the court for shootaround and Harris is out there. Hopefully a good sign of his availability tonight.

Only teams that win the tournament are remembered as the very best. It may not be fair, but it's true.
