It'll feel better when it stops hurting
I watched on ESPN+. This team looks to be very fast and Flory Bidunga is really something. I was hoping to see more defense with Hunter. Juan and KJ look like they are ready to go. Saw some really good 3 pt shooting maybe from Coit? Hard to tell. Hopefully next week's game in Arkansas is on ESPN+

I was disappointed in the Late Night coverage by ESPN+.
All ESPN+ showed was the Women's scrimmage, then a break until the 1:00:00 mark when the Men's scrimmage came on and we got a chance to see the Men play when they were not showing Brian Hanni and Greg Gurley interviewing HCBS.
They showed NOTHING of the other activities, which is a huge part of the draw to watch for so many fans.
(I understand the issues re: the paid entertainment talent, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the homegrown stuff.)
I believe they do this every year, but I really noticed it this year, especially as the first words out of Hanni's mouth to Self as they started the interview was to congratulate Self because Hanni thought this 40th edition was the best yet. Self replied thanks, but he had nothing to do with it.
What we did get to see of the guys playing - Bidunga and Passmore are going to get LOTS of PT.
Expect LOTS of assists from Dajuan ending with Flory flushing it.
The other new guys looked real sharp, too.
Self mentioned Zeke Mayo has been having a great pre-season in practice.
Self mentioned Noah Shelby (still redshirting this season last I heard) looked to be the best shooter on the team this year (just as Noah hit his 2nd 3PT out of 3 attempts at the time).
I haven't found a video of the whole shebang on line, but here are a couple of videos with Self's reactions and comments afterwards.

I have not watched either video.
There is probably a lot of overlap as it looks to be two different sources covering the post festivities interview.
