Looking forward to see what the new guys (most of the team) bring to the table; expecting our bigs to dominate as well as our talented guards running roughshod over the recently devision 2 Lowell Tech squad. :?
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

Diquette's been coaching them 6 years
They're middle of the pack America East, which probably matches up with the bottom of rhe A10. Be prepared for a nail-biter.

Ten played and all seemed to be able to contribute.

Well... nothing great, nothing too terrible.

Carl sat a lot this half. Wonder why. The press looked ok, but we sent them to the line w some undisciplined reaching. got beat off the dribble way too much in the halfcourt. They got a ton of layups.

TJ looked like the best player on the court for stretches. We had some pretty weak turnovers 35 ft from the basket.

I'd love to see stronger, more inspired play 2nd half

Love the energy and theres been some good rotations on D.. The offense has been disjointed but that's not surprising with so many new young guys.. hopefully we pull away in the 2nd

He picked up 2 quick fouls. The freshmen are pretty impressive.

He picked up two early fouls and sat as a result. I expect him to log a good amount of minutes in the 2nd.

I'd like to see Carl get a little aggressive with his shot.

Not only was that blocking call on Kolton Mitchell awful, but holy shit that was about 5 seconds delayed. Are the refs sleeping? At that point just continue play.

My concern this season was primarily not having a legitimate point guard.

Sean East has lessened my worries; he’s that freshmen guard that I was hoping would step up and fill our PG spot.

TJ Weeks looks confident. Has a high IQ on the court - Actually reminds me of a freshmen year Carl Pierre.

I know I know, it’s only game 1.

Hes freshman Carl that takes it to the hole. Carl was fantastic, but one dimensional. Agree with you on East.. looks like he can handle the point.

Good energy, I like Week's O game. Team has good quickness and speed. I wonder if we have enough beef up front.
