The Broncos are 3-1 with a couple mid-major wins under their belt despite having two of their top returning players (6'2 SR Bryce Moore and 6'8 JR Brandon Johson) out indefinitely with knee injuries.

They have a true 7-footer who went for 32 and 22 against Detroit Mercy so Brooks and Nsoseme should have a little more work to do on defense than in our past two games. Other than that their roster is full of 6'5 guys who play the 3/4 and some smaller guards.

Talent-wise they should be similar to Milwaukee.
 
Good chance for Brooks/Nsoseme to get some defensive work vs a true big. And for Brooks to hopefully practice scoring over a big. Their C averages a bunch of minutes and looks like they con't really have a backup for him, odds are we can wear him down.
 
Ready for the game tonight. Makes the Monday feeling a little bit better. I hope we get some shots to fall and pad the stat book. I want to see Cane continue to play like he left off on Friday.
 
We are ranked 329th in the country in 3 pt %.

Needless to say I would like to see us shoot the ball much better. Moore, Fredericks, Williams, Broome, and Johnson specifically.

That's about it...make some damn shots.

LOL. Yeah, that's sickening. Couldn't agree more.
 
Fredericks is a key piece. I keep forgetting he's even on the team right now. It seems to be taking him some time to adjust but I'm confident enough he will get there or at least I hope. He has shown the ability to get in there and do some dirty work on defense or offense side as far as rebounding. Need some shots to fall for him, and need him to make some better decisions. I know one play stands out to me when UC was beating the press in the second game, and he held the ball a second too long and ended up turning it over. Gotta adjust.

Ugly...I keep holding out hope that everyone is just in a slump to start the year. Let’s hope we break out of this slump....
 
Always glad to see X lose. But it would've been fun to see them get destroyed by Dook
 
Our bigs shouldn't be allowed to shoot the ball unless it's an uncontested dunk. Any offensive rebound needs to just be kicked back out.
 
I like that we are making it a point to force it down low this game. Cronin obviously wants them to get reps in this game. He actually pulled Scott because he didn’t put the ball back up on a rebound.
