How? We are a million times more exciting. Last year was the most boring ball we have played since O'Neill. 63.3 ppg. Our worst in about 20 years. Tyndull couldn't coach and the o was garbage.
I don't think Tyndall ball was exciting but how is this exciting?
Is the criteria for exciting bball running down the court and chucking up a shot as quickly as possible?
This brand of ball was terrible. No fluidity at all, just a bunch of wild shots and that was proved by the shooting %
What is exciting about that? Serious question not trying to be a jerk.

I didn't get to watch all of either game, but I felt like I saw a lot of hustle. Which I appreciate. I prefer an overachieving mediocre team to an underachieving amazing team, but that is just me.
Thoughts on the intensity/hustle from those who have seen both games?
They look like they are playing with a lot more effort, similar to the Pearl teams, but one area of concern is the free throw shooting. We were 9-17 from the line and 6 of those came from Moore. If we even make 3 more we win. Both teams played extremely sloppy but when you are as undersized as we are you have to take advantage of the freebies. Once again, great effort but we have to clean that up if we are going to surprise teams this year. We need to shoot at least 75% from the line to win games or else it ends up coming back to bite you in the butt like tonight. Can't really complain about much else. Will be exciting to see how this team develops throughout the year and I'm looking forward to seeing them improve with a coach like Barnes.
This isn't what I would call an "exciting" team to watch. However, this is a very bad team and for very bad teams to win the game has to be ugly/scrappy. This brand of ball does just that. Barnes is smart to go this route, especially without a floor general.

Nothing is exciting about it.
I have no issues with the fast pace style but when it slows down there needs to be a plan. There wasn't one tonight except 1 on 1 wild drives that led to TOs and bad shots
They play hard and they push the ball. There will be some off shooting nights. Tonight we shot horrible and still should have won.
When you have guards and limited inside presence you have to push the pace and shoot threes to have a chance to win. Something Tyndall couldn't seem to figure out last year. You have to run with an undersized team. Imagine what we would look like with J Rich playing this style. No way we should have been trying to win games with a slow down pace and no inside presence. Some of the worst coaching ever.
Its not perfect but we what have to do to have a chance to win.
We had a discussion a few days ago about whether an 80 possession game was possible.
Don't know what the average will be at the end of the season, but right now you've got teams playing 95+ pos per game. (effect of Shot clock and rule changes)
We're only at about 75. If interested.
That wasn't the case. He was apart of a lot of that stretch
I fact I thought he was awful tonight. Wild drives in the half court with very little chance of success
