We are going to get our ass kicked regularly this year. We suck at defense something fierce. We have 3 consistent offense threats. We have a couple extremely streaky guys. We have a guy who has averaged over 11 mpg so far and is scoring 1.5 ppg. Arceneaux has barely played but he is also completely useless offensively. Able had been better than I expected, but the issues I was worried about in the frontcourt are just as bad as I feared and Breed is also just as useless as I expected. Arceneaux is also not the huge get that everyone was hyped up about. Not sure this team ends up being better than a bubble team, it's got serious flaws in the way it was built]

^^mostly agree. Arceneaux, Breed, Musa, Q, Deng bring basically nothing to the table in terms of scoring. Deng is a tall guy that likes to shoot and doesn’t do a lot of rebounding. Unless he’s gonna be a sharp shooter he really doesnt need to be playing at all. 37% 3PT shooter last year but 30% (6/20) so far this year. Arceneaux I guess is still nursing an injury, but he’s never been an offensive guy in his career. Even if he gets to 100%, he has a low ceiling.[Edited on November 24, 2025 at 5:07 PM. Reason : J]

VAL had a good offensive game today, but good god he is shit at defense near the basket. Also he is a poor rebounder. None of this should really be a surprise since he's the size of a small forward. I think we should have a moratorium on transfers from UNC.Teams with any players with remotely any talent in the post will have their way with us.]

Yeah VAL is gonna need to score 15 ppg just to offset his defensive limitations. Or Musa is gonna need to come along asap

Turns out the "play 5 small forwards" defense is actually bad

Might get away with it if we can get in transition but in a half court game, we just can’t match up with bigger teams.

The weird thing is that Seton Hall doesn't even seem to be that much bigger than us. Half the blocks they got were by guards. Their top 3 rebounders were guards. Our guards are as big or bigger than theirs. They do have a true center sized guy in Najai Hines, but he didn't completely ruin our day or anything. I think we just got out hustled most of the game and played right into them being good at collapsing into the paint on the drive for blocks/turnovers.
