So only one player from last year’s team is in the starting lineup, Tretter. Which hopefully means Glenn feels he has upped his overall talent level.

Women play Appalacian State at 7:00 in Millett Hall Monday night. Game is on ESPN+. If you have not been keeping up, our team will have a completely new look. We have 4 returning starters but only one ( Amber Tretter) is starting this year. Coach Box and his staff have upgraded our talent level considerably and also is installing a new style of play. There are descriptions of all the new players if you go back and sort through the other threads under women’s basketball.
I am looking for a big improvement this year. I dream of a turnaround like we had in Coach Duffy’s first season, and I think it is possible, but the group will have to stay healthy and keep improving all year, which we actually did last season.
While we finished 9-20 last season, we also did go 5-5 in our last 10 games. App State went 17-15 ( 9-9) last season. They have one star player returning. 5-10 SR guard Emily Carver averaged 13.5ppg and 4.4 rpg and this year is a first team All Sunbelt preseason player. They also have a new coach, Alaura Sharp, who took Presbyterian to the NCAA tournament last season. The article mentions her style is great defense and ball control offense.
I will be at the women’s game, and then hopefully stay up and watch the replay of the men’s game when I get home. Sure would be great to get off to a fast start for both teams.

Got a call from my father-in-law yesterday asking why we were playing MACtion against a Sun Belt team on a Monday night before I brought him down to earth. Made me think that an in-season football Bracketbusters concept would be a fun gimmick for a season or two.

Power outage in most of (all?) Oxford and some nearby places. If you are driving, be extra careful. Deers all over the place these days.
Edit: Duke estimates power will be back at 9:15
What caused the outage?
I don’t know yet.
23-4 Miami end of 1.

If you haven’t listened to Coach Box’s post game comments, he mentioned we have 2 of the top European freshman in their age group, in Ilse and Tamar. Also probably not a coincidence in their first US college game they played the most minutes in the game.

This team has speed, multiple shooters, depth and plays good defense. Plus, they’re fun to watch. I think their ceiling is very high.
