I know what you are saying. My concern is that I don’t want an entirely new lineup to be judged by what should be considered a scrimmage. I want CRP to be free to “tinker “. Without ANY judgement.

I hear what you’re saying. But if you want it to be treated like a scrimmage, where you can feel free to tinker and lose by 30 points, then don’t hold it at MSG and complain that only 11,000 tickets have been sold to date.

The Michigan is an exhibition, like the one Saturday. They do not count in the standings but the Michigan one will serve more of a parameter of where we are. These are the games you see what works and what doesn’t.

Pitino is going to try to win the Michigan game. It will be very different from our first exhibition game.

Even though the result doesn’t count officially, it will be used for or against us by the people that seed the tournament. Even it’s just the tiniest bit in either direction…they are human. Everyone knows this is a an event both teams are treating like a real (and major) game.

It will also work against or for us during the entire OOC, and probably be reflective after the first week of the season. The Rutgers game definitely gave us good will to begin the season (before they were revealed to be awful)

That's one perspective. But it's not the same as baseball where you have guys working on a new pitch, or you have guys trying to make a roster. We have 2 exhibitions and we are already deep into practices. I think the rotation may be bigger but Pitino will be coaching both games to win. Even if you are correct, and I don't disagree, if are under 10 minutes and it's a close game, this will be coached like a regular season game.
