Definitely. His usefulness will be only as helpful as how hot of a hand he has any given game. But when/if he’s hitting shots it really opens up the floor for us. And will change how teams have to adjust on the fly
The good think is we won't have to rely on him. If he looks like a fish out of water out there we just bench him and keep playing everyone else.
Just need him to play smart and make open threes.
Hopefully the game slowed down for him, and he will contribute.
Same goes for Weston who I expect to be improved.
Yeah wouldn't be surprised if he's better, but he still feels like a pretty big bust right now.
Recruited by Illinois, Iowa State, Michigan and Seton Hall. This is his third year in college basketball and went 2-7 for 4 points against freaking Assumption.
What exactly did Illinois, Michigan, Iowa State and Seton Hall see in him? Is he that bad in his head that he's a borderline America East player?
He has below average handles, below average shooter with a slow funky release. I guess it was just based off of athleticism.

Weston is Weston and then makes a ridiculous play to make you believe again. Has to be mental.

A “ridiculous play” isn’t fastbreak dunk where he jumps high, or when hits a pull up midrange jumper.
He hasn’t made ridiculous plays.

I can't wait for the season to start so we can stop with all of the speculation. Here's to this team making a big improvement and a statement this season that we are back.

Lights, camera, action……for real this time, very much looking forward to see what we got. Big game? I would say so, based on starting at 0-0, and where the program was a year ago. Nothing like going 1-0. From the very limited Archie at the mic comments on team and season, it seems like he likes the potential of where this team can go. Very much different from last year where throwing up the ball last year was full of mystery and unknowns. Go Rhody

We didn't play an Exhibition Game last year, only the intrasquad scrimmage.
You can call it whatever you want. We played an intersquad D1 scrimmage and looked like poop.
Yep. And it's worse when you are playing against yourself.
Which is better than playing
with yourself.

Off the top of my head, some things I will be following tonight:
1. Turnovers (total, by player, in context of the game)
2. 3 point shooting
3. Shooting percentage from the line
4. Opponents shooting percentage from 3
5. How many layups/inside baskets we give up

Jesus I forgot how bad our announcer situation is. This is unbearable. Why can’t we just link up the audio from the radio broadcast for this? Why are they punishing me?

It's a slight step up....SLIGHT
Then the guy couldn't pronounce "Vienna"
Guess he's somehow never heard of Vienna, Austria even though he's in freaking college.
Then the other guy says some bs about how rare it is to have international players
These dweebs don't actually know shit about college basketball let alone ANY uri basketball history.

He also keeps calling our opponent "Connecticut". So I guess we're facing UConn tonight.
Its so bad. Our ESPN+ broadcasts should not resemble a public access broadcast that you come across at 2am.

Under 12 left 1st half. We are shooting 50% from the field, 0-1 from 3, 1 TO, 80% from the line.
CC is 47% from the field, 40% from 3.
