One pleasant surprise to me was Swider’s ball handling, it was better than I expected. The overall passing and ball movement seems crisper than last year.
As Mike said, rebounding is the biggest area of concern. It was the biggest weakness last year, and to be about even with an undersized D2 team is alarming. We want to push the ball more this year to get wide open threes off the break, but we won’t be able to run if we can’t control the defensive boards. But all in all, it was a promising first look at a new team.

Edwards was awesome in the middle, he needs to play 90% of the minutes in the middle. I agree with you about improved hands. Like I said, he will be the most improved player in the ACC. Swider is just so smooth. If he plays like that this year, he will be awesome.
