Hopefully the starters can ramp up a few more minutes this game. Would like to see Bane really show off his offensive threat.

Undefeated pre-season feels like it never works well for us. Maybe we should lose this one

This team is going to kick some ass in the regular season.

Every team is different but it seems like most teams played their guys regular minutes up until the start of the 4th quarter last night.

This PA announcer seems better than the other, but he sounds sad also. I miss Paul Porter.

I seriously cannot understand why our SL offense looks so clunky. Why are our 6'10" forwards constantly on the perimeter?

I'm appreciating Franz getting to the line. It's a good way for him to up his efficiency
