In response to Tiger69
I watched the first half and there are no legitimate comparisons to teams that the Tigers will face this year. Bologna has a number of veteran season pros and some young kids but they are pros. They played hard when they wanted to play hard and put very good ball pressure on the Tiger guards.
Tigers could not hit their 3 pt shots but it is very early. The biggest difference vs. prior years is that the team has much much more athletic players -- Cook, Caruso, Cannady, Bell, Miller etc. and they play at a much faster pace. They defended well and athletically. Weisz, LeBlanc, Young etc. are old school Tiger players -- slower but smart and shooters. One concern is that Brase did not play but he is there and they are probably bringing him slowly.
Overall, Tigers look like they have a fair amount of talented players but that does not guarantee success.
