While their shooting numbers were stellar regardless of opponent, they're going to be defended by a different caliber of basketball player against us.

They start 4 true sophomores and 1 RS transfer sophomore from Siena. They go 5'11, 6'2, 6'3, 6'5, and 7'0. Their best returning big (6'7 forward Tremell Murphy, 10 ppg) will be entering the 2nd game of a 5 game suspension for an offseason incident. They also have a 6'10 transfer center from FGCU who won't be playing as well.

The only other frontcourt player that saw the court in their first game was a slim 6'7 German skill player who played a very limited role last season.

I think as long as we don't have an abysmal shooting game with excess foul trouble, we win by 15-20 points.

Oh we should win. But if we shoot poorly and they don’t, it could be interesting
