Osterman - Aleksa Ristic has been running point whenever he's been on the floor. It feels telling that, despite just joining the program, he's taking the ball on every inbounds following a made basket. If you had any doubts about where he fits with this team, there you go.

Enright giving it up & not even an assist: https://x.com/i/status/1953241822186328190

Love that devries Wilkerson action

Unofficially we have 25 assists.  Sisley now up to 21 pts.  I'm sure it was really hard for him to move away from his family but that year at Montverde was the best thing that happened to him in terms of preparing him for major college basketball.

The team we’re playing tonight is tiny. Excited to see how we fare vs mega this weekend. 

[Dave from Dayton 4,119]

Any sense of how much more of a challenge the next two games against Mega will be?

Thanks for the updates and comments.

Much appreciated.

Still do not know what to expect during the regular season.  Except it seems we have a coach that knows how to coach college bball.  

The assists are encouraging to say the least.

Who are we playing in the exhibition in October?

Marian and rumors of Baylor in Indy but it hasn’t been confirmed officially yet.

98-47 final score.   Inferior competition but we treated them like inferior competition and totally dominated.  We didn't play down to their level.

Mega Superbet is a pro team in the Adriatic league and has produced several pros, including Jokic. They have a few guys who are NBA prospects in a few years on the roster I believe. Tonight's game is just vs. a random PR school I believe. I'd be surprised if we are very competitive against Mega, but would love to be wrong.

Did we ever see that in the CMW era? I can't wait to actually watch this team. 

Thank you for keeping us updated Old Fart. Much appreciated.

Isn’t that who we beat by double digits twice in the Bahamas a few years ago? They had Nikola Jovic at the time.

Josh Pos - Sam Alexis is by leaps and bounds the tallest player on the floor. It is to his advantage. He has Indiana's first double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Does that mean Alexis is taller than expected or Bailey is shorter than expected?

I think he was comparing Alexis to our opponents team that was on the court and not our own team.
