Yeah, I know its just a blowout warmup for our fans in home opener. But I have to admit I love it when I see us rip the Mormons.

LC tied this team in a scrimmage and LC had a subpar game compared to the Hargrave scrimmage. Should be a gigantic blowout. I'm going with at least a 30+ point win with the Flames cruising just five minutes into the game, maybe even a 40+ point win depending on rather Layer calls off the dogs early or not.

I don't think there will be any calling off the dogs. I mean this is our 2nd game with an extremely young team. Sure you probably won't see Jesse and Kyle playing 35+ minutes, but he'll be playing with rotations and personnel.

I agree. With Clemson coming in Tues we need to continue to work out the kinks. I think the guys that played 30+ minutes last night see more like 20 something but these guys just need minutes on the court together to gel. I won't be watching the score so much as how well we execute and get better as a team offensively. We improved dramatically in just one half last night. I am looking for more of the same tonight.

I would like to see Gordon, Perez and Anderson shoot with some confidence and for McMasters to play more agressively around the glass. If I see some of that happen I am confident we will not embarrass ourselves on national TV Tuesday like our early season game against Asheville last year.
