Missed the game, so thanks.

Obviously that only shows a few misses but the good thing that stands out is that unlike in years past, we seem to have multiple guys who can finish inside -- and not just off of lobs. I know it's Merrimack so those buckets won't come as easy against other teams but either you know how to score inside or not. (Then again, I seem to recall that on his first touch as a freshman, Oriakhi scored on a drop-step move I never saw him pull off again.)

Thanks man! Damn, watching Larrier land after dunks is nerve wracking. Every time he comes down it looks so awkward.

Larrier is much better when he isn’t out on the wing. We just need confidence and chemistry and I believe we will be good

Happy we beat a team by 20 that we should beat by 20. Also great to see some energy on the rebounding front- we have been missing that the last few years.

DOOMED!

Agreed. But the Three point shooting percentages, lazy defense, and turnovers are scaring me

All of those besides the 3's are fixable. And I doubt we will be that bad from the 3

When he caught the ball at the elbow, Larrier looking for an open man first before looking to shoot was a huge boon to the offensive flow. Hope he keeps that playmaking up.

I just rewatched again. The ball movement at the 1:50 mark is great. If they can replicate that more often, they should fare well breaking down zone defenses that they are going to see a lot this season.

I haven't seen any of the actaul games. Sounds like the d is bad. But these highlights look solid. Very few Jalen highlights. Which i see as a good thing. We need others to step up.

Im looking forward to seeing a new core of players.

Nice. Kind of a cool angle, and it's nice to actually hear the sounds of the game!
