Observations

NBA 3 pt line is also on the floor. The team took many shots from behind it.

Ratliff can play. He led the Red team well. He will be starting by B10 season.

White team tried to run their offense through White but settled for way too many threes. Lots of dribble around then start the offense with 15 seconds on the shot clock.

Played a lot of zone. Gave up lots of offensive rebounds.

Vaden may be the best player out there. He will take some shots away from Bracey.

We have no size at all. Killingsworth did dominate inside.

Steijn is a PROJECT. He killed the Red team when he was in there.

White did not come back out. I really hope it isn't broken. He SCREAMED when he went down.

Overall impression. Very similar team to last year. No size. Way too many 3s. Very little pressure on the defensive end.

Should be a long season.
