Season opener on Saturday. I figured I'd give a little scouting report on the Pioneers.
Last Years Record: 11-19
Head Coach: Joe Scott, he's a good coach, has been a head coach at Air Force and Princeton before coming to Denver last year.
Returning Starters: 2/3
Key Stat #1: They didn't win a game on the road last year
Key Stat #2: They were 1-15 when trailing at the half and 10-4 when leading. So it will be important for us to get out to a get start.
This team is really young, but they do return a few guys who got some minutes last year.
Nat Rohnet, a 6'5" Junior is their leading returner (8.3 PPG, 3.9 RBP). He started every game last year and has the most experience.
Kyle Lewis 5'11" PG returns after starting almost every game last year. He is a good 3 PT shooter for their team.
Rob Lewis 6'7" F started a few games last year as well. After he got in their starting lineup he averaged over 11 PPG.
After these 3 they don't have too much more experience. A few guys played some minutes but nothing too significant. They have a Sophmore who was 10-16 on 3 PT last year in limited action (Denman). Good shooter and we will have to know where he is if he gets in the game. They have a big man Hooper 6'9" who redshirted last year and will more than likely start. He is a pretty good outside shooter for a big guy.
They had a pretty good sized recruiting class with at least one of their big guys and guards that will get a lot of minutes.
The one thing about this team is that their post players will step outside and knock down a 3. They have decent size but their big guys don't play like true big guys. They got outrebounded last year and we need to be able to do the same thing. Their perimeter defense was also pretty good. So if Jordan is ready to go and can play some minutes I look for him to have a big game inside.
Tip-Off is 12:05, hopefully we can get a good turnout. I know the HS playoffs are going on in the Dome all day so you can even enjoy a game before or after. Parking might be a little tougher but it still shouldn't be too bad with pletny of spots.
GO PANTEHRS!!!!!!!
