Holden is a Menace. He came to DSM, played well and made a positive impact on our community. We continued to cheer Holden on as he finished his time at High Point and drafted in to the MLS. He will forever live on in our hearts.

Some takeaways from ETSU. A thread. See comments for continuation.
1. Caden and Alex were the only two healthy scholarship players to not get on the floor. In practice, Caden's shooting appears greatly improved from last year. Just might not be quite game-ready yet.
7. Turnovers galore
A kink or a feature? The offense seems to run through the wings this year, so will we see more of this? Or is this an outlier?

Safest picks in the country:
Big South: High Point (79%)
Pac-12: Gonzaga (72%)
Southland: McNeese (70%)
MEAC: Howard (67%)
Tons of great nuggets from Steven.
You should follow him!
Rough shooting outing for Braden. And people won’t see he went +23 to still be a difference maker
76% FT as team is improvement
CJ & Trey needing to clean up some turnovers by being caught in the air.
And would like to see the defense turn up forcing a few more turnovers than 9
