I actually watched a little of the fort hayes game from last year the other day. The Kutztown game has some value to us.
I think that game will tell us the starting lineup. And it might be good to get a look at Brady, Bettencourt, and Patterson.

And it might be good to get a look at Brady, Bettencourt, and Patterson. Maybe most interesting in the very first exhibition game will be (besides the starting line-up: Nika, Azzi, Caroline, Aaliyah, and Dorka, for sure) how improved and how much time Amari gets. The newcomers will take time to work their way in, but Amari needs to be able to claim some minutes from the start. |

I think defense is what kept her off the floor last season though. And we might not have a sense for her improvement in that area until we see the Texas game. Your starting lineup is the one I would put money on. But I don’t think it is 100% yet. |

I am starting to watch MJL243’s uploads on YouTube again. We are getting really close.

To me the only thing useful in the Ex. game is that the newbies get to experience what is likely the biggest crowd of their lives. Bettencourt should benefit the most. Our freshman front court players should be physically dominant and that should help their confidence but prove little else.
One other very useful thing is that it will give us something other than NIL to discuss.

Your starting lineup is the one I would put money on. But I don’t think it is 100% yet. Wouldn't be entirely surprised if Caroline were given a few games to "work her way up to 100%." Barring injury, the only real possibility for a secondary proposed lineup would be Lou for Caroline. I don't think that's likely, but it is possible. |

Be careful looking for your ball DD. After flooding crocs and snakes turn up in unexpected places.  |

Glad to know that where you go in Florida is still habitable! Hope your family down there came through okay. Also hoping that you will still be filing your fabulous blog while enjoying a non-winter.... |
