WE ARE BACK BABY

indeed.

[@jeffbenson9732]

We shall see. Seems like our offense is one dimensional but that is always the stick with Cronin. Also when the game gets tough are transfers gonna play their heart out or crumble. Lots of questions needing answers and time will tell

@@jeffbenson9732 WE don't have enough height inside. Bilodeau and Dailey are not tall enough to match up w two credible 6' 11" front liners in the B1G or nationally. Love Mara but he's still not ready. Also promised great 3 pt % didn't show up - only 33% from 3.

I don't want to get over optimistic because I know this was Rider that we were playing, but man, you gotta love the intensity that the Bruins brought to this game. If they play with that same kind of fire in every game, there will be a lot of joy in Westwood this season. This will be one tough team to beat. Unlike last years edition, this team can really score.
