Italy Trip

Is winning by 30 really winning?

Good insight from Sabre guy at the game:

Final 71-41. Other team def better than last game. We also left 20 points on the court in the form of missed bunnies.

Braxton Key vibe right there.

Losing by 30 to UVA feels like losing by 70 to anyone else.

I’m sure the Italian announcer said at the end of the game, I’ve read in the media that the 30 point deficit feels like a 400 point deficit when you play Virginia.

One constructive comment from me: no idea about the competition, and not much insight in general, other than what rush posts, but we clearly have some talent in the frosh class. TBD when we see it hit the court at JPJ, but plenty to be excited about. Some signs of life from Shed offensively, too. Good stuff. Hope we get a bit more sense of where we are after the Mega games.

Also tbd:

  • Armaan’s shot
  • McKneely’s non point based contributions
  • Reece development
  • etc.

We beat them by nine more points than Arkansas, therefore we should be ranked nine spots ahead of Arkansas in the preseason AP poll

If you have the time, go back and look at the box scores for Hunter up until the infamous social media post from his brother implying he should transfer (after the home BC game). Hunter was something like 2 for 12 from three at that point in the season. If I remember correctly, Hunter turned things around pretty good after that. So Dunn is apparently right on track with Hunter’s development so far!

That’s a good point. All things equal you expect the numbers Traudt had from Gardner today. That we are getting it from Traudt in game (cough scrimmage) 2 is very positive.

I know he didn’t play, but I feel like McKneeley should’ve scored more today.

Glad the team is able to get this experience. Unfortunately these games have tanked our preseason BPI and Lunardi has already moved us down to an 8 seed in his latest bracketology.

Good point, gotta factor that in and make it a safe 18 spots ahead of them

Oh right. I forgot he sat.

So I guess Orange1Bassano can sorta ball, at least more than Stella Azzurro. Versus Arkansas, we acquitted ourselves well.

Bring on Mega.

The fact that he went unnoticed this game while on the bench is a bad sign IMO.

Hate it when media types say this. We give up plenty of leads!
