Both ends of the coin.  Good to figure out why we are 2 completely different teams.  DDV will definitely be able to point to these saying we aren’t winning on talent alone.  The comebacks are impressive but also a warning in the same light.  
 

They're exhibition games. How many of the early deficits can be attributed to tinkering and toying with different lineups and rotations? I wouldn't read too much into anything this week other than this is a very resilient bunch.

Thanks to everyone for the updates throughout the game. What fun even if it was exhibition! God I hope this team can overachieve this year. Lets put recent history to rest and lets go!!!

After the PR trip, this team will enter the upcoming season believing that no deficit is too large to come back from and their teammates will have their back when push comes to shove. Mission accomplished.

@Hovadipo do we have enough in the btb budget so I can buy a new mouse?  I think I wore mine out today!  lol

Mega's last possession of the game with 8 sec. left and the Serb already had 28 in the game.

Raby compared them to an A10 school 

Didn’t Raby also compare Ristic to Grant Gelon or someone like that?  Not sure I take much value in his comparisons.  Ristic seems like a much more influential piece of the puzzle possibly, than Gelon could havd ever dreamed of being.

I just blew the budget on a SuperMegaFuture on IUBB to make the Final Four.

You don't foresee Ristic playing for the County Fair Community College Corndogs in the future?

Lamar Clampserson?????

There’s deep, and then there’s DEEEEEP! Lamar for three:

Looks like they had 4 kids on last years team leave for D1 schools that included Auburn, Kentucky, Illinois, and Miami. One of their starters on this years team played at Georgia last year before turning pro. One of their current players was also just drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks back in June. No clue where this years version stacks up but am guessing you're going to see more and more of these middle tier clubs hurt by the NCAA and revenue sharing. 

[Home Jersey 16,773]

Can you imagine how much confidence these past two games have given the players in their new teammates and coaching staff? That's going to build an awful lot of trust that pays dividends by the time the real season rolls around.

Can't. Come. Soon. Enough.

Woody would probably have already been on the 2nd tee.

Whether one’s view is positive or negative on the team’s outlook, we’re all going to enjoy watching this kid play. He has Game
