Fun game last night, the arena is such a huge upgrade and lighting is fantastic. The leg room is awful, super bad. I will be standing quite a bit. The whole card stunt was pretty silly and really took some energy away from the start of the game. Was surprised with how many open seats there was. Agree with most, if you cant make it, find somebody that can. Students were solid, could do a better job bringing noise but whole crowd needs to do better at that.
Couple thoughts on some of the guys.
AJ was a total dude, for a kid who has hardly practiced...he looked terrific.
Tyson Ward flashed, stage isn't to big and he is ready to contribute this season.
Deng looked like he was pressing, wanted to make the big play. Early on his defense was very poor and he got pulled quickly. Thought he did better job in the 2nd half. He is going to have his flashes this season but make no mistake the kid is going to be special down the road.
Wish we could get Dex a few more post touches, good things happens when we get him a touch.
All in all very pleased with what I saw for game one. Looking forward to the rest of the season.
