Hmm, I respect you opinion @NielsisGood but I generally thought his handle was pretty tight and I was pretty confident that something stupid wasn't going to happen with the ball in his hands

Seemed like he was only comfortable with the ball in his right hand and he seemed to be dribbling with the ball far away from his body. Looked pretty sloppy to me but luckily Colgate didn't have anyone who was capable of providing on ball pressure.

Agree with much of your post. But I can easily see this team as a tournament team +Jalen.

Oh totally I mean if the raw talent on this squad figures itself out...

They'll be fine.

But even if they don't - if they stay this fun, It'll be a pleasure to watch them kind of learn.

How did you come to that conclusion? It's the first game and Jalen didn't even play. Gilbert and Vital didn't even play well and we still won. Larrier looks like a potential AA and a pro. Polley and Whalley look like very good freshman that are gonna contribute a lot this year. Anderson looks every bit the part of a tough veteran point guard that makes big plays and shots. This team is very long and quick. Adams and Larrier might end up being one the best duos in the country. Get a clue dude.

Don’t hate on a guy for being somewhat realistic. This team is a borderline tournament team right now with a lot to work on, mainly perimeter offense and defense. Also need our bigs to finish better at the rim, they seem to panic a little bit. But, as many posters have said, there’s a lot to like. Time will tell, but this team will at the least be entertaining.

If this team stays healthy meaning we don't lose one of our top three players in Adams Larrier or Gilbert there's no question this is a tournament team if you can't see it that's your problem
 
What’s realistic is far different than an obsession with negativity. I know little of your posting patterns, but a quick search of your posts after yesterday’s win leads me to believe you shouldn’t be working at a suicide hotline.

Not sure how people are being negative. They won by double figures with their best and most experienced player out, and with two of their best players, AG and Vital, having bad shooting games. Did everyone forget that we lost the opener last year?

Not as worried about Vital's shooting as about Gilbert's. Vital looked good shooting, and was just a hair off, but also took some bad shots. That's easily correctable. Gilbert's 3 point shots weren't even close, and on his drives he had blinders on, for both the defense closing on him and the passes available. Then tried to create something once he's already committed. What happened to having a plan before you leave your feet?

But he's talented - let's see if he can calm down and use his court vision along with his quickness and handle.

Couldn’t watch the game. I’m sure AG will figure it out. My point is that a team ranked #16 lost to Wagner last year. Then Northeastern. Then lost two starters, and still won 18 games. I think people have been too down on this team. It looks like Anderson and Cobb can contribute. Like Whaley, Polley and Carlton will too. They’ll all keep getting better, especially since they’ve never really played together.

All i’m saying is it’s hard to be so definitive about that after 1 game and following last year
