How tall is the tallest NC Wesleyan player? Maybe 5โ€™9โ€?

Yeah they do have a lack of height.

Iโ€™m just happy we are hitting open shots.

Iโ€™m at the game.

I think we will be better than last year.

Thatโ€™s all I can say at this point

Pretty weak second half. I can see the pieces for a decent team though

The Villar kid from Spain did not score. Iโ€™m not sure he even shot. He seems like a player with a very high basketball IQ and will always make โ€œthe right basketball playโ€. Will be interesting to see how he progresses.

100% agree. Found it interesting he was trying to direct and communicate so much.

The good:

Much more talented and athletic than last year. Good defense. Mingo looked really good. Bradford much improved

The bad:

Some bad toโ€™s as youโ€™d expect game 1. Bigs need to finish better

The bigs are going to be a problem I think. Could not finish well inside on a D3 school.

They are going to need to focus on defense and rebounding not scoring.

Elliott looked quite athletic and good on D. I will say he popped a bit.

in fact Iโ€™m shocked to just look at the roster and see heโ€™s 6โ€™10โ€. He looked like an athletic 6โ€™7 or 6โ€™8 to me. Eyenga looked to have some physicality but is raw.

Thanks for the reports.

Not surprised about the bigs.

Was a little surprised to see Elliot started. How did he look?

He looked athletic. There looks to be some talent. The question is can they be turned into a team?

Butler was in sweats as well as Gomez with a boot.

I imagine butler would have started if he played
