Well it's only one game but I think Nwoko will be our best Big but he needs to quit fouling. At LSU he only averaged 21 minutes a game because of foul trouble. Hopefully Chitikoudis and Aligbe are ready to play. I worry about our rebounding .I was hoping we could manage to pick up a speedy ball handler. I guess 14 million only goes so far. Sounds like Westry had a very tough game. Maybe it was playing outdoors? I had read that he had trouble on defense. If he struggles we may be a middle of the road Big East team. Looks like we got some 3 point guys but to be any good we need to play defense and rebound. Coach em up Pitino. Go X.

I think Filip could help if eligible as another outlet when breaking the press.

Your right Skyhops. Filip can handle the ball very well against the press. I was hoping that the new front court players would get some time though. Filip plays a lot of minutes as he is a all round player. Pitino likes and trusts him. If Pitino hadn't had Anderson coming off the bench last year he would still be here I thought he was our second best player last year. How Wright managed to start I never understood,
