Got good mid-half minutes from a starter+4 lineup. Young / Williams / Roper / Greer plus Audige or Berry. That was the lineup out there when Roper and Young dug a loose ball and swung around for a Chase three.
There are definitely some ‘dawgs’ on the roster that you don’t get when you recruit guys who are primarily jump shooters. Shooters matter, but as a third or fourth option.
Audige brings an attitude. Roper is tough. Boo is tough. It’s rubbed off on Nance on that key late stickback.
Also, Maryland is not good, but I sure like a season-opening win. (Apologies for chicken-counting…)
