Getting this thread started for the ULM game, mostly to ping @pesik to start preparing his preview. Has there been any word on Dunn being ready to play?
Looks like this will be an ESPN+ game for anyone not able to attend.

“projected” starters; (no public exhibition information)
Tyreke Locure G 6’ 0" -14pt scorer, leading scorer last year
Savion Gallion G 6’ 4" - heavy rotation player last year
Jacob Wilson G 6’ 6" - sophomore trying to make a jump
Nika Metskhvarishvili F 6’ 8" - projected star player, injured last year
AD Diedhiou F 6’ 11" - uab transfer, injured last year
bench -
Jalen Bolden G 6’ 4"- sophomore trying to make a jump
Tyrese Watson 6’4 - high scoring juco
team notes:
11-21 last year
305 in kenpom
not particularly good on offense or defense
tall team for a mid- major, but not much accolades or tout behind the height
only thing interesting is a versatile 4 that can dribble pass and shoot
should expect a 20pt victory at min…40pt type win if we are hitting 3s

I’m on my way to Vegas. I’ll get there in time to put some money on the Coogs to cover. I’ll also make my annual bet for the Coogs to win it all.

Has anyone heard if Dunn is ready to play yet?
EDIT: According to Goodman, we are currently injury-free. https://x.com/GoodmanHoops/status/1721529770075140331?s=20
I know it is pre-first game…but you guys should check out Haslametrics. They view Houston VERY favorably offensively and defensively. Analytics don’t lie.
THE VERDICT:
UL Monroe doesn’t have what it takes. Houston is the easy winner in this one. Houston 80.57, UL Monroe 52.65.

Yep, love me some Haslametrics! KenPom & Haslametrics are my primary 2 go-to Analytics sites (+ a bit of BartTorvik for some player ± data). I think it will be a 30 pt win tonight.
