Well we are going to find out a lot about this team very early in the season because the early season schedule we play a lot of veteran teams including Texas San Antonio who we beat 73 to 67 last year in a closely contested came in Iowa City. Our second game we host Duquesne an experienced team should give us a challenge then we host Bowling Greene before we head to Kansas City and Play Texas in the 1st game of CBE classic. The second game we play will be vs the Winner or loser of the game of Pittsburg vs Wichita State. After these 5 games we will know how good this team could be or is.
Our first 5 games should tell us a lot about this team with a lot of new players I think this team has the potential to be very good. I think they have more talent this year with the addition of Cully Payne in the back court looks like he will be the starter at point guard plus getting Tucker back should do a lot for this team on the offense. I think this is going to be a breakout year for Cole who should average double figures in points and rebounds he has also added the outside shot to his game.
I'm excited for the season to get rolling and it kicks off on November 15th vs Texas San Antonio this should be an interesting year to see how much improvement we see from this team. They are more experienced this year and yes they need their young players to play well if were going to compete in the BIG TEN.
I agree we have the talent to breakout, but so far the team seems a little uneasy in real time game situations. The ball hasn't been falling in the first two contests, but thats part of the freshman jitters. I think by the time the Big Ten begins, we will have a team to be proud of and the ability to end the season in the top half of the Big Ten Pack!
