This team is a lot better than we gave them credit for

Completely agree.

Love seeing 5 players in double figures.

Belmont is going to be a tough matchup. They shoot 47.8% from the field and 36.8% from 3. Bradley is 51.2% from the field and 43.3% from 3 and Murray is 51.4% from the field and 40.7% from 3 this season. Slightly worse than both of them but it will be a difficult matchup for us.

Yes it will be good to see if the team can make some much needed progression against that type of disciplined and smart opponents.. hasn’t been the strong suit of MT teams.. I like the activity on defense and while it generates a lot of havoc, deflections, blocks etc.. there continue to be some glaring holes at times.. some of that is to be expected but if they can limit the blow by penetration due to sloppy, poor reaching attempts in on-ball situations it would go a long way because the weak side player rotation is really good otherwise

It seems like CNM's teams are always a roller coaster ride. If the wheels stay on like in 21-22, the potential is there. If the wheels come off, nightmare city and no hope of getting them back on. 6-2 is great. Beating Belmont would be a massive sign of collective improvement. However, losing to Belmont isn't the end, especially in CUSA play. So we will see.

Tip of the hat to Bufford. So far this year is the best he has looked offensively at MT. His 3 point shooting has improved immensely from his prior years.
