Greenteam said:If they are not able to cut down the turnovers and improve the defense it will be a challenging season. Will be interesting to see if Davis begins the game in a press. We were in total control at halftime last year and then Davis came out in a press and ran away with the game. I think this years team will also struggle if teams choose to pressure and trap the ball. We should have some size advantages vs Davis and I would like to see us explore that rather than cast threes. I think Powell needs to get more shots. He is a tough matchup and only had five attempts today.

Appears not. Same with the women’s team.

Can they contain Pepper, or shut everybody else down?

Mawein had been on a minute limit as he was hurt in the preseason and was still getting healthy/back in shape.
We have a few projects on the roster that show some potential in practices.
We are building with the international pieces and filling in the competitive "now" pieces from the portal. We can't judge based on year one or two -- this was a 4 year plan at the start.
