I’m curious to see how Floridas new backcourt fits in with the team. They had dependable shot makers last year which carried them to the title. How reliable will Fland, Lee and the Browns be this year ? Can Lee and AJ Brown make the jump up to the SEC and sustain their past production game after game ? This backcourt should take a step backward compared to last years backcourt.

But, I think the key to our game with them will be the frontcourt play. They have a big, talented trio with Condon, Haugh and Chinyelu who like to rebound and control the rim. Can we keep them off the glass and limit second chance points and register a plus rebounding game ? Silas will be a big add this year and we may see Jaylin playing a lot of minutes at the three in this game to give us more size.
Very confident that our shooting will be much better than it was in last years matchup.

There is a lot to watch play out with Florida. Arkansas was a much better team when Fland went down last year and I mean much better. He certainly shows flashes but wasn't all that efficient and didn't lend to the team concept all that well. The mid major call ups are a crapshoot. That said Walter Clayton was exactly that and he worked out well. Lee doesn't strike me as an SEC type guard, but who knows. Clayton was awesome, but let's not downplay how good Richard & Martin were. These were men, older guys that averaged 13-14 pts/game. Martin played in a F4 with FAU. These are not 3 guys that are going to be easy to replace.

There isn't one team this year that doesn't have some moving new part that we have to watch play out. This is where the coaching comes into play. Purdue would be the one team that has proven talent, but they also have limited upside athletically.

Agree. They can not and did not replace the production that Clayton, Martin and Richard put out. They were the reason they beat us last year. I think we will out produce them in the backcourt which is why I think controlling the frontcourt play will be the deciding factor.

Not just beat us but beat everyone. I think our front court holds our own in that one if Tarris avoids FT. There are ways to neutralize the 3 big set, stretch them out, back door them. Their offense was largely run by the guards and they loved the high post. I think the fact that we scouted them and executed (not shot) so well last go is our advantage.
 
Florida his huge in the front court.
Micah Handlogten 7'1"
Ruben Chinyelu 6'10"
Victor Mikic 6'11"
Alex Condon 6'11"

I think we can abuse Olivier when on the court. He is not fast so he can't go out and guard. If we are shooting well from three they won't be able to keep these big guys in to long.

You're missing their best one. And you can only play so many of these guys in one game. Not really too worried that they are super deep at the 5. It's not an apple picking contest.

Marquette at Gampel on a Sunday during winter break, while Nova is at PBA on the first Saturday after winter break ends is a joke, but happy to have more Saturday games this year.

Yeah that’s weird. Last years home game vs PC was that same Sunday during football season. I don’t get that one.

I assume they didn't want to have to do 3 PBA games in a row. They likely preferred "wasting" Butler and DePaul at PBA than worrying about Marquette at Gampel (people will drive from Hartford on the weekend for that one).
 
So XL season ticket holders get shafted again. Maybe not quite as bad as last year; but cmon man

Now that I live by Worcester I’m probably going to sell my XL tickets and get a 4-game Gampel package. The package last year was solid from what I remember seeing.

Texas, Villanova and St John’s isn’t exactly scraps.

From a TV standpoint, I wish that St John’s weeknight game was in Gampel

Marquette and Creighton in Gampel again. Only one good weekend game in Hartford. You can’t tell me this season is much of an improvement over last. For me in MA, it’s just not worth it. As far as the Texas game, I’ll be going to BYU in Boston

Honestly, the difference going to Hartford as opposed to Gampel is like 5-10 minutes extra from up here. I did the same thing at first, thinking Gampel was so much closer, but because campus is so far off I-84 it really isn't that much of a difference.

Like I said, I’m going to get a smaller package or maybe pick and choose games to attend. Screw Hartford. I like the drive to and around campus, I have good stops on the way and back established. I have a good parking situation for GP. I won’t be driving down during week nights, that’s for sure. All I’ve been saying is that, once again, GP’s schedule is much better, and given where I live, I have no real reason to renew my XL tickets.

It’s not that bad of schedule.

Last year we were all complaining about the fact we had 1 Saturday game. This year we have 4.

So far I've seen people complain that the Hartford schedule sucks this year and that the Gampel schedule sucks this year, the reality is that the Big East isn't great next year so there's not a whole lot of options
 
I was curious what they said about Newark. Alex says, "Next." They are not losing there again this year. We better hope after all these losses there in a row they've finally learned their lesson.

Those last 3 losses in Newark were nothing short of dark magic.
2023 Hurley had covid, missed the game, we blow a big half time lead.
2024 Arguably our best team ever and we were soundly beaten, Clingan injury was a scare.
2025 Strangest loss I can remember, couldn't inbound the ball, Hall missed dunks that led to 3s, 20% FT shooters sinking them on miracle bounces, banked in 3s, truly inexplainable.

I think this is mostly it: the only real games that would have any buzz in conference presently are PC, SJU, and Creighton...maybe Villanova (we will see). All of those are weekday except Nova, 2 of them are Gampel and 1 is PBA.

After that it's all the same: Georgetown, DePaul, Butler, Seton Hall. X and Marquette are a step up from those basement dwellers but I don't think either are going to be that good next season.

It's about as good of a schedule as we could have hoped for, the only thing that could have elevated it is having SJU on the weekend, otherwise it is what it is until the rest of the Big East improves.

Whoever is in charge of this operation heard the complaints of being the traveling roadshow every weekend and they fixed it so credit to them for that.
