Super disappointing result. This team will struggle to score all year. FT percentage is eye popping terrible.

I mean, it’s a scrimmage where your top two guards didn’t touch the court. We didn’t exactly lose a scrimmage to Canisius at full strength. I wouldn't worry too much.

And yes FTs suck. 3pt% better??

I mean, they played without their starting backcourt. Seems they performed pretty well given they didn't have their point guard and their senior captain who is projected as the leading scorer. 

This is where I’m at with this. Free throw numbers are disappointing but losing by 3 points without our starting backcourt and being led by a freshman in scoring, is encouraging in my mind.

Yes, and Hunter had a strong line (minus the turnovers) in limited minutes, Brunk had a strong line, TJD is only going to get better all season long, and Franklin had a strong performance. Throw Phinisee and Green in and there's a lot to like. 

Free throw shooting is worrisome, worrisome that Smith only had 2 rebounds in 27 minutes and 3 turnovers, and worrisome the Damezi didn't seem to really do anything offensively in 27 minutes, but overall a pretty good result (at least by the final score) given the starting backcourt not playing.

If “prepared for what’s upcoming” refers to your ability to be super-disappointed, I’m reading you loud and clear.
 

It appears to be a LONG building process. We aren’t there yet. Our pieces have potential but we have no dominant players right now. My expectations are in check. I admittedly get tired of expecting us to be a fringe NCAA team.

Ready for the reload vs the rebuild.

This year can be fun with the right expectations, especially if we can exceed them.

Already in midseason form in October. Fair play, this is an absolute take quake.

History is on Gradman's side here.  FT shooting has sucked literally every year of Miller's coaching career.

So two years + one scrimmage? Got it. Our coach is either incompetent or doesn't care about being competent. Got it.

"Literally every year of his coaching career", how did you get just two years out of that?  I'm, obviously, including his Dayton years, he has literally never had a team that could hit FTs.

Sorry, didn't realize this was a Dayton board. To answer your question, I got two years out of that because I care about the track record at Indiana and with this roster of players. You, obviously, could have figured that out. 

 

Also, he "literally" (as opposed to those figurative teams that he's coached) had a Dayton team shoot 72% in 2012-2013 and 78% in 2011-2012.
