We're two games into the season. The teams ahead of us are going to mostly all still be 2-0. A few might be 1-1 with a ranked loss. It's not like we've beat anyone that would catch voters attention this early in the season. Generally voters don't drop teams that win.

7 or 8 at least

1 turnover to 6 assists for Tavari today.  Only 7 turnovers for the entire team.

Halligan would start on a lot of MAC teams

I hope Barre does better against players closer to his own size. The box score has him with 3 fouls in 5 minutes. Ouch!!

 

I think it's important to for us all to remember with a lot of these guys that they are coming from different teams/systems (Ev. Mahaffey, Barre) or are just starting their careers (Er. Mahaffey, Stankovic). For example, I thought Eric and Evan both looked much more comfortable today than they did in the opener. I have a hard time believing that a player who started 1/3 of the games last year at a solid A10 school isn't good enough to even see the floor for us. It was good to see Barre out there and would assume he will play a lot Wednesday. I think we certainly need his size off the bench if we want to reach the goals we all have for this team.

Agreed. Barre or Briscoe will need to be able to perform when called upon.

Another factor I forget about Barre until now is that he spent some of the time in the off-season in a walking boot with a bad ankle, further setting him back.

I remember that now. I didn’t hear any talk about his injury.

This staff has a brilliant record in developing players. Of course Enrique comes to mind, but also how about Amani, MMK. If Briscoe and Barre are willing to work the staff will have them ready for more minutes.
