Any insights from those who attended?
Looks like Gakwasi would be a D3 All-
American.

I watched on TV. Not too much you can see from a game against a D-3 team, though Delaware Valley was a lot better than Bryn Athyn and had a couple fast guards and a good shot blocker. Deven Austin was still in street clothes and there were no indications from the announcers he is close to returning. Jackson Hicke was injured after blocking a shot and landing on his arm fairly late in the first half. He didn't play in the second half and wasn't on the bench in the early part of the half. I was very impressed by Jack Scott, he seems to get better each game. He also seems to have a very good set of skills for a 6th man role, he's tall for a guard and can shoot and pass and even had 12 rebounds today.

If Jackson Hicke is out for an extended period it will be interesting to see who gets his minutes. After Scott and Davis and the starters, Hicke has the most PT on the roster. Scott and Davis will likely increase their minutes from 10-12 to 15 to pick up the slack unless Gakwasi is moved into the rotation. I agree Scott is continuing to develop and contributes in a lot of different ways.
The sophomore class is impressive and includes 2 All Ivy caliber players in Pierce and Lee plus Scott and Austen who both are high level performers.
It was good to see Vernon Collins, the fifth member of that class, get extended court time. He is athletic and moves well. The Tigers are going to need him at some point to step up and we saw some flashes today of the player he can become.

That would be great. We need some
size to deal with Wolff and others in the Ivies.
