I'll start with just one: showing we can be competent on offense against a zone

Honestly, I have no frickin' idea what to expect anymore.

I'm with The C on this one. After two games with this bunch, anybody who says they know what to expect doesn't know.

My guess is three things for the purpose of getting more experience:

1) Buie will get more time at lead guard in the second half.
2) We'll see more man-to-man throughout the game.
2) We'll also see more of the high-low set on offense that we saw against Merrimack.

They have two close losses to teams that are similar in quality to us, their PG has attempted almost twice as many shots as any other player on the team, they like to play a lot of hero-ball and their PF is named Butts. We will have a decided size advantage on them, but they have a decided experience advantage on us with a team that tied for their conference lead last year.

This may be more hope/dream than expectation.

* Robbie Beran playing well and a lot of minutes
* Pat Spencer with 4-5 dunks

I'll be curious how much Greer and some others play. Less about Greer and more about can Collins let himself go a little and trust a longer bench.

Radford has a much higher KenPom that I expected. This could be a tough matchup.

NU is only 5 point favorites. If they don't cover, it was nice knowing everyone

Radford is very experienced. Bunch of grown men like PC. Hope they forget to shoot like the Friars did. I fear this might be an ugly loss for a young NU.
