No way to have any idea w/o seeing them play. Talent? Yes. Last yrs team was more talented too.

Last year's squad didn't have a strong 4. And when we lost AAA & were forced to play Khalifa very hobbled

Still more talent on roster which makes the point that things happen.

I'm not sure I agree with that. Mag & Keita are big defensive upgrades at both the 4 & 5, & both of them plus

It's really too bad (for several reasons) injuries kept Baker & Adams outa the rotation. Baker at backup PG

I’m not saying last yr was as talented as this coming yr. I’m saying both are/were more talented than Duquesne yet lost.

Keys to the Duquesne loss: Atiki injury forcing him outa the game, & Khalifa playing very hobbled.

Precisely the point & why you can’t count wins prematurely. A team “should” win games they lose.

No he did not. And it took him 3/4 the way through conference play to

One game? Anything can happen. Depends on how key players are feeling that day. Am as tired as others of losing in NCAA
