dang hard not to get excited after watching that. We looked darn good. Dang and darn in one thread! You watch your language, buddy! Yoouuu cannot say "filth flarn filth flarn filth" in front of people! I always wondered which was more emphatic, dang or darn. I think it has to be dang. Because darn makes me think of socks.

That video just makes me think the Chinese pro league is somewhere below the A-10. Not that I'm not excited about this year, but there were a lot of unforced errors there.

Yep, and the Italian second-tier team is also below Big East quality, as evidenced by WVA's win over Austin's team. It would be nice to see these summer tour results matrixed against each other to get some more scientific oomph behind our anecdotes.

Even though it was against lower quality teams, we saw stuff from our guys that we haven't seen before (except maybe Kenner). Its good to see Coach implementing this to utilize not only his length on the wings but the fire and energy from all of our players 1-4. Keep in mind this is the team's third game together, think how they will look when we do play our OOC opponents after another month or two together. Maui will be a challenge but it will make this team grow, can't wait to see the full schedule. Maybe another ODU at campus year? I know there were unforced errors by the Dinosaurs but majority of them were at least caused by our players forcing the Chinese to make decisions. Additionally, when they did break the press they weren't getting easy points. In the half court we had some good moves, I really liked the drive from the wing by Nate, pass out to JC? since the shot wasn't there, JC drove, pulled the help and dumped it straight to the wide open Nate for a jam. This year's Hoyas will include more slashing and attacking the basket, opening not only dumps down low from the rotation (imagine when Moses is just getting little dump passes for dunks all night) but also demanding the rotation out on the wing, opening up the backdoor again! Damn, I'm excited (or should it be Darn, I'm excited ;D)
