He also needs to be more of a "team" leader.

Feels like he is phoning it in tonight
Agreed. He needs to realize his role this year is different than last. Not the only scoring option anymore, has to look to get others involved. It’s an adjustment but hopefully one Knight and co. can drive home.

Ummmm, is it too early to say this team is miles better than last year. Obviously both teams are 300s+ in Ken Pom and Torvik but last years team never looked like this vs low major teams.

Last year 5-1 Q4s, 81-53 vs NET 357 Rider, 72-60 vs NET 339 Maine, 84-72 vs NET 272 Lehigh, vs 256 American 80-71, L vs 289 CConnSt 54-67, 362 Delaware St 65-50

Knight and Day from 25-26, both from the portal and international pickups.

1 turnover, 20 pt halftime lead, 9 players scored, 20-6 run to end the half. Not sure what game you’re watching
Yeah I don’t understand what we were supposed to do lol. NJIT id say even had a much better gameplay against us, which once we adjusted they weren’t as capable but they have a bigger frontline and are playing solid ball, even if untalented

i’m someone who knows enough to realize just how NJIG is this team they have so many players who we only have been needing to cover this is full. Especially Cell for our little guards like Lino and Jay Leno especially those basket that he’s getting at the room nowhere to be the competition.

Love how both of these guys can hit an open 3 from the corner

What I said is that there’s nothing impressive about having a 20 point leadagainst this team. Are you watching? They are so bad. It’s undeniable. I wouldn’t be a top 15 high school team in New Jersey. But yes, we’re a hell of a lot better than we were last year.

Nice block by Gurdak. I could see Gurdak and Miteo being on the floor together in some situations depending on the matchups with taller Big 10 teams.

Hate to be a complainer, but that’s about the most unimpressive 20 points lead I can imagine.New Haven would crush this team.

Cannot complain about anything. Lot of potential out there, scoring threats, and way more engaged. Its a giant step up from last year non conference but the jury is still out on how to how it will transkate against the large step up in competition in Vegas
