I am very curious to see how those two Orange middies (#7, #8) will do when SU gets into its ACC schedule. Without them, MD probably wins going away.

FWIW . . .except for a bit of a hiccup at the end of the game, I thought Brennan looked pretty good carrying the ball and sensing opportunities to dodge. Maybe that will help Kyle Long, who seemed caught between shooting and dishing on those last possessions after he seemed to have a step on his def...

Totally agree on compressed defense. Yesterday was a bit reminiscent of pre-2022 Terp offense (minus Bernhardt), even all the way back to the days of Blye and Snyder-- lots of patient, secure ball movement, but not the kind of constant stress on a D that results from being comfortable taking the bal...
