All excellent observations. My $0.02 worth, which mostly are excerpts from posts above:
-The upperclassmen carried us last night, as they'll have to do through at least the non-con portion of the schedule, with half the roster being new. And other than Crutcher, the newbies didn't contribute much last night. Svoboda was out sick, Pierce didn't play (bad matchups against mobile bigs), Davis has a good body but needs experience, and Kostas will have flashes of the future interspersed with reminders that he's still a college freshman.
-The D is definitely a work in progress, but given Coach's track record, I believe it'll come. Upperclassmen may have had tired legs at the end of the game, given the number of minutes they all played, and with it being Game 1. Remember, it took Archie's teams 3 years to become good (in his system) defensively. I think we'll see measurable improvement by February.
-Coach has a different presence on the sideline. Calm and controlled, yet still intense and passionate. I like that about him.
Oh, well, on to Charleston!
