I see we're 10 point favorites with the Vegas line.

Any word on status of Dante Allen?

In looking at that starting lineup, Henderson listed as a Guard and Udeh as a Forward? Udeh is def a "5" and Henderson a Forward I would think.

He is listed as probable on the injury report
 
This is a game we should win, but somehow they disembowled a decent Penn St team so hopefully they're not starting a hot streak.
 
Vital to win these home games against the bottom third or so of the league if we want to make it to the tourney. 6-0 against Pitt/GT/BCX2/FSUX2 would go a long way for our chances (it would at least give us a margin for error against the top and middle of the league).
 
And now the real season begins and we learn what was gold, and what was fool’s gold. And not just for um but for all teams.

I’m looking forward to this game.

Played well against Ohio State too iirc. ACC play is a whole other thing from the OOC tuneups. Home court should be a big advantage in the league opener.
 
Pitt is handsy as ****, potential to have these guys in foul trouble for a lot of this game if they keep this up
 
Udeh’s finishing ability on lobs is insane

Also a ridiculous no-call on that clear as day shove on the last one
 
if a couple of 3's went in (instead of 0 for 6) we'd be in great shape. still, free throws are ok so far and nice to be in front
 
It’s amazing how dry spells aren’t as frequent when you shoot such high percentage shots
 
Whistle has had a big “keep this game close” vibe to it the past couple minutes.
 
Brutal sequence not deciding to sub Timo back in before Reneau picked up his third
 
Pitt with the 15-0 run and the Canes are also in foul trouble.
