I also live in Florida. (West coast, Longboat Key across the bay from Sarasota) Where are you in FLA?

I had the same results. I used Paltzman's link on page 2 and signed up for it and added the BIG+ app to my TV for the game. I'm in!!!
 
I expect SJU to go big to combat Michigan's size. I think we see a lot of Hopkins, Zuby, Mitchell or Prey on the floor (3) together. I think it's also a glimpse into what will be most successful this season. Expect Mitchell to be on the ball in point forward role a little more.

Few things I'm really looking for - I want to see Sellers off the ball and get his three point shot. He was brought here to shoot the damn ball, he needs to take 4-5 a game minimum. Ian Jackson needs his confidence restored. Michigan's guards are nothing special, he needs to find his spark before the start of the season. Zuby had a rough first half vs Towson, he knows he's being a marked man...how does he respond against a mega talent in Yaxel vs Michigan.

yes it's an exhibition and it doesn't count ultimately...but these reps matter for the bright lights and our staff is absolutely taking this game very seriously. So I don't really pay any mind to anyone that doesn't care about the results from Saturday. It's less and the win or loss, I'm looking for guys to start getting that fire lit under them for showtime on 11/3.

Excited for a weekend night game at MSG. See yall in 108

Makes a lot of sense and Yaxel will be a big challenge. Would like to see Hopkins have a big day.

Trilly discord had rumors of Cadeau wanting to be here but Rick wanting no part, so that is another subplot

I had heard from someone that he was interested. He is a PG cut does not shoot it well at all.

Agree that Zuby, Hopkins and Mitchell have to accrue significant minutes together for this team to be successful against high level competition.

Agree that it would be great for Sellers to be freed to be a shooter, but if he has to play out of position at the point (which I think he will, generally), that conflicts. I am on record with "Mitchell as point forward" and if that happens it would free Sellers to be a shooter more.

Jackson and Sanon have to be better, and I think they will be against Michigan.

Hoping Prey looks smoother on offense and Darling shakes off the Towson game. Not sure how much of Ayo, Liotopoulos or Odih we see in this game but none of them worry me - they all feel like solid contributors who can do the job if called upon now.
