Just my opinion. Others thoughts?

Is the rebounding something to be concerned about?

Watching on stats and they’re ahead 27-26 onthe boards, including 11 O boards.

I mean, we are missing the leading returning rebounder in cbb. He might help just a bit.

I think all these players look pretty servicable. Ben needs to figure it out.

 

[JZABR]

I like that he's expanded his bench, even if it's against a team like ORU. Asuma looks NIIIICE

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Hot take after one game: Ben's most active team defensively since he took over. Cochran and Mitchell, get well soon.

All Ben needs to do is play the guys who bring the defensive intensity, and this team will be all right!

 

[GameDay]

Agreed and adding the MAC DPOY to the fold in a month or so can only help that.

The only problem with the game tonight was the old bugaboo ------ FREE THROWS!

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Odukale had 6 assists and 4 steals in his 20 minutes.
Asuma 0 turnovers in 23 minutes.
Garcia and Fox a combined 17 of 20
11 of 18 from 3
Good first game for the Gophers.

Caleb Williams should be playing. Perhaps he has no D, but his offensive game is way beyond Femi. Ben's too chicken to play him. And no, I'm not his mom, dad, sibling or mom's best friend.

I read he was sick tonight

FTs are gonna haunt us!

I liked the way they played. Seems most can shoot and defend fairly well.

I'd go higher on Edmonds and Asuma, lower on Rigsby and Odukale.

Odukale was good defensively, didn't score, had 6 assists, also 3 turnovers. I'd call that average.

Garbage time 3 for Rigsby, rebounded OK, too many turnovers.

Edmonds I thought looked competent around the basket and played pretty well on D (ORU didn't have any size). We know about his FT deficiency

I didn't really see much Asuma messed up, and he hit a couple 3s, a couple of assists, and a steal with no turnovers. Seems really good for a true frosh in their first real game action

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

I don't want to jinx him, and I've mentioned this before, but he reminds me of Tamin Lipsey (who I coached against in HS and have seen a lot of his first couple years of college since I live in IA, so it's not a knee jerk comparison)
