Baker looks tight shooting, but he made a really nice pass to Doucoure.

Williams with two nice finishes inside the paint, one from a nice pass from Sanders.

Defense looking okay so far, but St. John's is getting some open 3s.

Baker's a really good passer.

Lack of outside shooting (as a team) still evident.

Baker has a good frame and great length. Doucore has great body and will help immediately. Huge reclassification. Omoruyi looks like he's changed his body as well and maybe grew - seems a more in control player in the very early going.

Chiam and Baker need to hit a shot or two and get their confidence going.

Missing lots of shots but down only 4 with 3:32 to go. St. John's looks like a good test for our offense, as they recover quickly when we get open.

I’m at the game with my gaggle if 4 kids. They’re having a blast.

St Johns actually looks really good, better than I thought they would, high intensity. I think it is going to be a struggle to get quality minutes out of Mensah. Hopefully he adjusts to the speed of the game and skill of opposing guards.

2 for 10 on three's and issues finishing around the basket. Surprised to see the hustle and defense of St Johns... this is a good test for us.

Like I said above, they are taking it really seriously and look smooth. Does not really have the feel of an exhibition on either side.

Impression

We are getting pretty good looks against pretty decent defense....not many wide open looks at all...spacing and timing are in November form and will be better

St. John's has a few run outs that has taken their shooting percentage to 12 of 31...take that out and the half court defense has been good

Fast paced game ...both teams took 31 shots and 11 free throws ...we are definitely trying to play faster

Geo looks like a player.....will add 20 lbs of muscle

Doucoure has a upperclassman frame

Eugene O is quite active

If we keep playing the same way and just hit our shots ...we will be fine ....and get a W today ....

There’s going to be a huge drop off on the floor when Mensah comes in to spell Sanders.

He will not be spelling sanders in real games barring injury or foul trouble. We will go with three guards. He is not a P-5 guard.
