The first 'result' of basketball season is in. *Over the weekend the men's squad was in action behind closed doors up at the CEC, taking on the DU Pioneers in a scrimmage. *According to 'sources,' *Coach Boyle and crew at the very least took care of business, beating the Pios by seven. *Not quite 1-0, but I'll call it .1-0.
Hardcore BasketBuffs are already well aware, but NCAA rules prohibit fans, media, or other interlopers at these preseason tilts. *The idea is that these meetings are supposed to be tuneups, and that prying eyes would put too much pressure on what are essentially glorified practices. *Coach Boyle didn't seem to mind discussing the problems he saw, however,*saying,*"turnovers were an issue with this team, taking care of the basketball. [...] If we turn the ball over like we're turning it over, we're going to put a lot of pressure on our defense, and I'd rather not do that."
That certainly sounds dire, but I wouldn't get too worked up over that less than glowing report. *It's his job to be hyper-critical at this stage, and that sounds like vintage Boyle. *Besides, I'd rather the turnovers be made when it doesn't count, with the understanding that a veteran team should be able to take care of the basketball by the time the lights turn on for real.
