Army picked last in Patriot League - again + 1 question

[KnightNight]

Only 1 voter had Army outside last place in this year's poll.... and that was seventh place. 8 plebes on the roster - On CBS Sports tonight vs. Air Force at 9:30 PM.

AM - do you know what happened to Chris Welker... thought he was going to be a solid player for us as a plebe last year. Did he leave USMA or just decide not to play ball ?

So far they look good. Knotted up with Air Force, 24-24 with 6:28 left in the first half.

Game One in the books - VERY VERY Young, Rebounding and inside presence , as always, will be challenging issues. Team is quite quick, will play hard and the nights the 3's are falling, will be capable of pulling off surprises. Likewise, when not falling and getting into foul trouble, they can lose to teams with less talent just as easily. Propensity to foul will not only place key players in foul trouble ( though I expect a legit 10 player rotation by league play time) but even more important, Army's greatest atribute - up tempo, will be negated with too many slow downs in flow due to high foul counts.

Finally, must stay in the 12-16 turnover count to remain competitive, Last night in the mid-20's was an important driver on final double digit loss outcome..

Good question. FWIW, he was mentioned in an article in the TH-Record on 11/10...
