Considering that this may have been the worst half of defensive basketball I have seen under Gregory, I don't share your optimism. But this is what non-conference games are for - seeing what you have and how the pieces fit together.

A few observations:

• Regardless of how many games the opposition has played, conditioning seems to be an issue
• Murphy has shown me he is the PG of the future for this team - his court vision in transition is impressive
• We are going to be able to crash the boards this year and should be able to rotate alot of trees into the game and keep that front line fresh - I'd even be curious to see if when they go "big" if Yetna gets any time at small forward
• Outside of Murphy, greatly concerned about the ability of our guards to create offense for others

Conditioning is always an issue in the first game. You can’t replicate game speed at practice. It’s like that for every team.

That was horrible defense that half.

Indeed. Getting killed on the switches and the dribble penetration. These guys need to stop being so bashful and start communicating on defense.

Its not just game speed. Durr looks like he has found the only remaining buffets that are still open during the pandemic.

Well being fat is now the new cool thing to do

One thing to keep in mind is this is our first game while Florida college is in their ninth

This isn't a D2 or even a D3 team...It's NAIA, glorified HS ball.  Not a good look.

No excuse for those guards getting by our guards in the half court.

Exactly. This should be a defensive mismatch no matter who they switch to on the high screens.

Also, lots of Mark Caleja minutes in that first half...

One team has more hustle. Not sure why they look so lethargic out there. There are moments but they are few and far between
