Preston is a known asset now...Nova will single him out.
Was thinking that last night. Iona made it their focus to keep the ball out of his hands in the 2nd half and it worked well. That is until about 3 minutes left when they tired a little bit and he took over.
It's funny you talk about them being tired because it looked like OUr guys never looked tired, especially Preston. I do want to say however that I would like a lot more "load management" Preston in some of the upcoming non-league games like outside of the Big 3 (Baylor, Nova and Purdue) so that he's fresh for MAC play. I don't think a single MAC team is any more dominant than Iona and St. Bonnie. Last year Beefs were head and shoulders above anyone but this year, do you trust Huger to lead BG? Is Beefs a coaching thing? I seriously think we can compete NOW in the MAC.
Personally, yes, I'd trust Huger to lead BG. He did last year, and he returns all of his guards and wings, and has Justin Turner, who I'd expect to be the MAC POY this year. He's very good.
UB is still full of talent despite all the lost players to graduation. Now, are they better than Iona or St. Bonnie? I don't know - way too soon to tell for me.
Agree with the idea of load management for Preston. Hopefully getting the currently injured back to health will allow him (and others) to sit a few minutes a game in the near future.
