UNC score is a bit eye opening. Also is West Virginia going to be good this year even after Quinerly left?

I don't think so. You need to be in mid-season conditioning to play against Tennessee's system and UNC is probably still getting in that kind of shape. Honestly, any team playing Tennessee in a preseason game is a head scratcher. I don't think many teams will learn that much about themselves against that style of play.

They return Shaw and Harrison in the backcourt and add in two nice additions to the front court in McCray and Wheeler!

Also Tennessee has 8 new players this year. So a lot of adjustments for Tennessee. Including 5 freshman who are new to this style.

I understand what you are alluding to but they've been conditioning all off-season for that pace because it's their style of play.

All in all, we the fans can't learn that much about any team just based on the box score with preseason games because every team approaches them differently. Winning isn't the main objective for many, if not most, teams.

Yes when the actual games start. Is when we will learn about our teams.
