I thought Sisley was good watching him at Montverde. He’s better.

Not comparing games, just visuals.  Acimovic looks so much like Tom Pritchard in his demeanor and gait

[Demo]

The Acimovic games I watched when they signed him he hit a couple of cutters nicely for layups. He’s clearly got that piece.

I don’t know what he can become, but her certainly doesn’t look like Tim Priller 2.0 out there.

Marian playing a zone...and IU adjusting it's offense to it?  Is that legal?

[Josh]

We really need to fix the chip on that rim.  It's bugging me to no end

107 - 46 final

Fun to see for the good guys.

Are we allowed to talk about Pat Knight being a terrible basketball coach?  Marian was on solid footing before he arrived.  He was awful at Lamar.  Awful at TT.

He was going to be the Stephen Pearl of IU.

Anyway, fun to see the 3’s flying.

Tucker can shoot it but who can he guard out on the floor? Not the quickest kid laterally . Hopefully we can switch and help when needed.

It makes me sad to think how Mgbako / everyone would get yelled at for shooting 3s last year. 

... or that those guys had to go through multiple years of really bad coaching. I feel for those guys... 

Sorry to be a downer, but that really sucks, especially when we consider what could/should have been.

But back on topic, looks like DeVries has the guys playing hard and having fun.

Lmaooo, this was funny from Pat Knight.

Yes, yes it has.

Been having password problems, glad we looked pretty good tonight. If I get logged out again that’s probably why, couldn’t change my password for some odd reason.

I can’t believe how good of a shooter he is. Not for a big but for a freshman. He’s been a dead-eye from deep in all these exhibitions. 
 

I’m sort of excited for the Baylor exhibition. Last night did nothing to dispel fears of how we hold up athletically especially on the defensive end. Most of the scouting seemed accurate. I don’t have a ton of worry over guys like Alexis and Conerway. But Tucker, Wilkerson and Bailey are gonna have to be at least serviceable team defenders.

Just a couple of the many post-game stories.  First link is specific to Trent Sisley.

Absolutely. Baylor game is going to be way more interesting, but yesterday was fun. 

Baylor is also basically a brand new team and "moneyballed" their roster too. KenPom has their roster rated 17 I think. Have some really good wings. Tounde Yessoufou was a 5 star guy expected to start, gets compared to a more polished Lou Dort offensively by one of their 247 guys. The same 247 guy says he may be a better college player than Edgecomb, but not as much upside. They've gotten bigger at the guard position. Baylor represented Team USA vs. Brazil in the FISU Games in July and lost 94-88 in OT. Their PG Obi Agbim had a big game, but Brazil was able to rattle their guards pretty well so we'll see if we can do the same. 

Gonna be a real test. 

This preview of the Baylor team is a decent listen:
