See that one-time Niner target Kaleb Scott of Raleigh still at PC for his fifth and final season after starting out at Georgia State. Second leading returning rebounder for Blue Hose at 4.8 rpg, while also adding 7.2 ppg last year.

PC picked 8th in 9-team Big South preseason poll.

Touted PC frosh Iverson King of Lewisville was on the Niners radar:

Weโ€™d better take this team very seriously and play them like theyโ€™re capable of beating us because they are. If we lose to this team, the stank will dog the team and its psyche for the rest of the season. Not to mention the psyche of NINER fans.

Yep, donโ€™t want to lay an egg vs PC, even if it is my fatherโ€™s alma mater!

Seriously, plenty of winnable games before heading to Hawaii and need to start with the Blue Hose. Actually donโ€™t see any reason why the Niners shouldnโ€™t run the table in the seven OOC contests played in Halton.

Looking forward to getting this going. I have confidence in Fearne and his pro approach to this. That could be what helps save our program in this new era of free agent college basketball.

Letโ€™s take care of business.

I love Fearne. I am concerned if we have any injuries at all that we will struggle.
Watching the Georgia game I was disappointed in Graveโ€™s ability to get offense going. I was hoping that Folkes had honed his ball handling and shooting, not evident yet.

Tonight will be a bigger test than many may think. The smaller teams we play, this is their Super Bowl. Better come ready.

With OOC games vs South Carolina, NC State, Miami-FL, and a home game with โ€œlocalโ€ rival Wofford - as well as Big South foes Winthrop and High Point at least twice each - no way Niners are PCโ€™s Super Bowl.

clt says that feels like too many points

I donโ€™t know if our guards are good enough to do anything this year.

Not fun to say, but the truth is, either Graves and Folkes have to step way up, or we have to have a strong transfer step in immediately.

Iโ€™m also concerned with our ability to shoot the ball.

We are down potentially 3 players, and 2 of them are probably the best 2 on the team

Which 3?

Oden, and ?

Richart is one, should i post the other or wait until closer to game time? Donโ€™t want to give presbyterian an advantage
