3 of our 1st 4 are on the road then it’s 5 at home, 1 on the road, 2 more at home. Then conf. Q play begins. Hoping for 2-2 in our 1st 4.
11/20: 0-2. 31 point loss at Wm & Mary. 4 guys played decently, 21 TOs.
Lost by 8 in the 2nd. 19 TOs. Tempting as it is to make changes, we’ll see another game or two first.
11/27: 86-68 at home. 24, 7 for C/PF Ders, 18, 8 for SG Hion, 10, 8, 7 for SF Held, 11, 6, 2 for PF/C Wood. Esch gets Reed’s minutes up front, and Hais gets most of And’s at guard.
75-55 on the road. 15, 3, 3 for Held, 8, 8 for Hion, 10, 7, 2 for recently demoted Reed. +12 RBs, but 22 TOs (-4). TOs are a problem again this year. We cannot seem to find walk on guards who can take care of the ball.
2-2 in our first four as we’re finding our lineup. Next 5 are at home, and 7 of 8.
12/4: 2 wins, by 11 and then 7. 4-2, RPI #123.
C/PF Dey Ders and SG Kab Hion are emerging as our scorers. SF Mark Held is playing well all around. 13 and 14 TOs in these 2 games. I’ll take it!
2 more at home this week but against better teams.
12/11: 2 more wins at home, by 18 and 14. 6-2, RPI #80. Ders, Hion and sub Aron Esch provided the scoring in both games. Esch may need more minutes. 12 TOs in the 1st game but then 23 in the 2nd.
Esch will get some of Wood’s minutes.
3 more pre-conf. games, 1 per week. 1st at home, 2nd away, 3rd at home.
12/18: 71-60. PG Lon Hais had 25. 38 RBs, but 22 TOs.
12/25: 63-82 road loss. Ugly. 16, 12 for Ders, 14, 6, 2 for Held. 20 TOs.
We’re increasing the offensive pace to try to cut down on TOs. Esch will start for Wood.
1/1/’24: 90-66 win. 24, 4, 5, 2 for Hion. 16 TOs, so not much help speeding things up.
We end pre-conf. play 8-3, RPI #76. +5.9 PPG, +8.5 RBs, but -4.3 TOs.
