Start of another season (sort of) today, before the real deal gets going next Saturday. No video today, as usual for all exhibitions. But audio and live stats are available via goexplorers.com . These games are always, to me at least, more about the symbolism of a new season starting than they are about anything tangible that happens today. That said, if anyone is going and has any live observations, I'm sure we'd all really appreciate it.
Fight On Explorers!

Wish they would stream it but oh well.
Starting line up is Beatty, Croswell, Sherif, Ray and Phiri. Couldn't tell you the last time we started two true freshmen.

we are subbing so often can anyone even get hot?

The sub pattern might be worse than G’s 5 for 5. To sub like Ash is doing is counter productive in my opinion. Hope this isn’t what we see when the regular season starts.

At the game and we are getting run out of our own gym by a D2 school. WC is getting offensive boards and second chance points, out hustling us, and we cannot shoot.

2:51 to go. 24=21 West Chester (I hate having to type that as 2 words- my NY instincts want me to make it one).

16-3 run to close out the half up by 1. But...yeesh. that shouldn't be needed.

Explos play much better in the 5 minutes.
Only Kenney has shown well in that first half.

Inconsistent line-ups means bad starts...some what similar to last 0-10 start...No flow when yu in and out.

Not able to attend so I appreciate reading the posts. I assume with all the new players Ash is trying to get guys some game action to see what he's got. Hopefully team will take over in the second half.

we'll end up being fine...every team struggles somewhat against the teams they're supposed to whoop up on. Hopefully the rotation tightens up. I really really wish Jack Clark was playing this year.

Kale just compared Sherif Kenney to Khalif Wyatt

Kale just compared Sherif Kenney to Khalif Wyatt He also said he was 6”8 which is not true. Kenney has been impressive.

Other observation - Wally Rutecki is still the absolute worst official in all of college basketball. Guy makes the game about him every friggin game I've seen this guy officiate over the years.

2:22 to go. 61-60 West Chester.
Look, if the argument is that it's a scrimmage and everyone played, and it's not an accurate approximation of a regular game, that I'll buy. What I don't want to hear is about how West Chester is on the best D-2 teams in the region or whatever. That part can't matter.

Wr are lazy on the glass. WC must have at least 10 - 16 second chance points. We cannot do that once the season starts.
