In all seriousness, while the pre conference home schedule is generally garbage, the opening game against Elon feels loseable. Reminds me a bit of the opener against Belmont that we almost lost a few years ago.
This is a team that we beat by just 11 last December. Based on a quick Kenpom scan, they would be keeping five of six main rotation players (not sure if anyone transferred in or out, however). And the guy they are losing had the second worst o rating of those six. So we have an experienced opponent. Against an incredibly young and kind of shitty Duke team. In the first game of the year.
You would at least take Elon and the points here right?
