Re: 11/7 | Quinnipiac | 7:00PM (YurView/ESPN+)

Quinnipiac has some guys coming off major injuries, and their defense is not great. They seem to like to play fast- could be a messy but entertaining game all around. Seems like Freeman could have a monster game, also predicting big games from Malik and Carey.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five

Even though Archie isn't willing to spill the beans on this yet, I agree with Ace on the starting 5. Bray, Carey, Weston, Martin, Alex. Bassy, Ish, Rory, and Samb will probably all get double-digit minutes off the bench. I could see them going with Thomas over Weston, though, if they’re really that...

He was certainly around a lot of questionable stuff at Louisville, so played at least a minor role in it, but URI thinks they did their due diligence with all that and don’t expect it to be a problem. I can’t see it going in a bad way for him at this point.
