And still got the win.
They did not look very good last year versus Buffalo at home ... and got the loss.
Thus, it's all good.
With 30 games on a docket, every night cannot possibly be the same. You're gonna see ebbs & flows and some nights you look like a team that could not only make the tourney, but go deep. Some nights you may look like a team that could struggle to get to .500.
While I bemoan the fact there is no true leader ala Jevon or Da'Sean and perhaps our best player (Culver) seems to be aloof and living up to his mercurial reputation, I do see a roster that includes a ton of players that could take turns each night being 'the guy.
Haley may go off one night ... Culver (if focused) the next ... it was Oscar's night versus Pitt ... I expect McBride to have his big nights ... McCabe ... and of course, Matthews, who may be the most likely to have those nights more often.
Lots to like ... and a couple things to worry you.
