Home opener is tomorrow evening at 7 PM. I'll be there. So excited to see fans at UD Arena again. For TV/streaming, it will be available to watch on Spectrum TV and ESPN+.

Very interesting team this year - super young. Don't really know what to expect, but I'm excited.

Should be an interesting season. There's a lot of talent, but it's almost entirely new.

From a UD message board (http://udpride.com/forums/showpost.php?p=671403&postcount=11):


Since the 2000-01 season, this year's starting lineup for game 1 has had the fewest previous minutes played in a Flyer uniform than any other game 1 starting lineup.

Brea and Blakney combine for 476 minutes. The other 3 starters never played a regular season game for the Flyers.

The next fewest previous minutes played for game 1 starters? 3,357 minutes by the 2012 team. Jalen Robinson and Vee Sanford were new additions. Devin Oliver had 981 minutes, Josh Benson had 1,297 minutes and Kevin DIllard 1,079.

Grant and company are going to earn their money this year.

Yeah, they just need to get more games under their belt. Only a few of these guys actually played with each other last year, and not even for a full season's worth of games. I read somewhere that this year's team is the 3rd youngest in D1 basketball. Camara and Holmes both looked great. I would have looked their way the entire night, especially Camara. There wasn't anyone on UIC who could stop him.

Like I mentioned earlier, it's great to have fans back at UD Arena again. I cannot stress enough how big home court advantage is here. This year in particular, they sold out all 17 games for the first time in UD Arena history. It got especially loud during the last 10 minutes, when the Flyers went on a 19-0 run after being down by 9.

They've been pretty abysmal at both shooting the 3 (barely above 20% on the year) and defending it. With that said, they still attempted 17 in the 2nd half lol.
