My favorite moment last night was Dibaji’s T. I actually think that was quite significant in a positive way. His stat line might very well end up modest, but he could really be key this season.

I think he is possibly the best defender in the A10 and should really play a bunch.

Yeah if Dibaji doesn’t chuck threes I’m happy when he’s on the court. He was great last night.

Dibaji has a skillset more desirable to the NBA than does Tre Mitchell

Count me in on the Dibaji train. He makes a difference out there... if he plays smart offensively, we're in good shape. His defensive skills, and maybe more importantly his effort, are very good... his D certainly earns him playing time, but being smart on the other side of the ball (not jacking 3s, for example) will keep him on the court.


I still think it is a shame that they pushed him into playing in the 19-20 season. I guess with the Covid year it doesn't matter anyways.

He's not being serious... it's a jab.

If there were 1200 students as reported, and most of them sat in the student section, it looked like more than 2903 to me. Not huge, but maybe 3500.

It looked pretty empty on TV but the cameras don't show the east side.

West side was definitely much more occupied on the east side.

Was serious as feared much worst. The students defiantly help and with a win, should be back.
