Watched Q1 so far. Biggest takeaway is that the officials sure do love blowing the whistle.

yes.

Competition Caveats aside - I saw a few things from my very non-expert eyes after watching 2 quarters.
Starters looked pretty darn good, particularly on defense.
Offense looked disjointed at times - understandable I suppose given the loss of Maar and Wagner - I am not sure how much may have been the effect 24-second shot clock.
Davis looked serviceable to quite good. A shame neither he nor Teske has a proven outside shot or a redshirt for Castleton would be a certainty.
Frosh - Johns was the first in but Iggy got the most time. You could see the drop defensively between Johns and Livers imo. Iggy seems super athletic but is a bit of a black hole on O. Saw very little (any?) of the other Frosh in half 1.
Seem deeper at the 4-5 than guard currently. Simpson, Matthews, and Poole got a lot of minutes with Brooks primary backup. Didn’t see a lot of lineups with Iggy at the 3.
Poole looked pretty good to me - much better on defense but still trying to feel out his role as a leader on O - dribble drive game seemed a bit tentative
Returning starters - all looked >= their performance from last year particularly on D.
2nd Half update - Seeing more of the “2-guard” lineup with Iggy, Livers/Johns, and Teske/Davis.
Sorry for the run-on ... stuck in El Paso waiting for a flight for few more hours.

What do you mean by Iggy is a black hole on offense? Did you mean defense?
He scored 15 points in the game and I thought he looked pretty decent. He's probably going to be our 3rd leading scored behind Poole and Matthews IMO

Pretty common phrase I thought....
Meaning —— If the ball goes in to Iggy....it ain’t comin’ back. Aka he won’t be racking up huge assist numbers.
BTW - I am not saying this is a huge negative just that he needs to work on it. I.e. Poole was much that way early last year. Otherwise he looks like a shorter but more physical Mo on the court.

Means once he gets the ball he's not passing.
I didn't watch but it probably stands out a lot in Beileins offense, where he wants a lot of ball movement.

LOL. I first read that as Betamax video.

Yeah...I was ready to go to the storage room to dust off the old player....;)

A sloppy 3rd quarter is where this game was lost but they played strong otherwise
Iggy prob was leading scorer for UofM - def wants to go to the hoop. Probably was top rebounder and looks to be a good rebounder.
Livers looked good. UofM came back in the 3rd quarter with Iggy - Livers both on the court.
Simpson, Mathews and Poole looked like they have picked right up from last year
Brooks looked better
Really going to miss Wagner - Teske and Davis struggled to finish around the basket. I thought Davis actually played the better game of the two.
Nuñez, DeJulius didn't get in
