A few things we'll be paying particular attention to during Tuesday's season opener.

A look at where the Cats stand with three different advanced metrics sites.

A look at three keys that will help determine how far Nova can go this season.

One of Rivals' national analysts, Rob Cassidy, highlights five big-time games from the opening week of college hoops and offers his predictions. Next Friday's Nova-UCLA clash was included.

There's a lot to like about the Cats this season, but coach Wright has one concern.

Some outside forced Slater into focus for the fifth starter spot, but Jay Wright says that in no way means he didn't earn it.

As noted in the article, we're working on getting some longer, more in-depth coverage from media day put together, but wanted to get some info out to you all more quickly, so here are a few quick hitters from the afternoon.

We're still working on compiling a full list of Hoops Mania attendees, so it's possible we add to this list over the next few days, but here's who we know attended so far.

Cameron Gillus (2023, Sidwell Friends, DC), Caleb Williams (2024, Sidwell Friends), Jaden Colzie (2024, Plymouth-Whitemarsh), Robert Wright III (2024, Neumann-Goretti) and Jacob Theodosiou (2024, Western Reserve Academy, Canada).

Gillus is a 5-11 points guard, Williams is a 6-6 guard, Colzie is a 6-0 guard, Wright III is a 6-1 guard and Theodosiou is a 6-3 point guard.

We'll update the list with any more names that are confirmed.

I'm seeing a lot of misinformation floating around about how the scrimmage against Duke went today so I wanted to clear up as much as possible. First, they've done a good job protecting the secrecy of the game so 1. I'm not going to pretend to have a full report for you all or anything like that and 2. take much of what you hear about the scrimmage with a grain of salt.

That being said, much of the chatter I've been seeing/hearing has been of "Duke dominance" and similar sentiments. I've heard claims that Duke won by 20 and that Duke led throughout and other similar statements. Thanks to some video released by Duke, those claims can easily be refuted.

First, we need to clarify the structure of the scrimmage. Duke also released a press release that stated that the teams played a 20 minute period and a 10 minute period before spending time working on late-game situations, followed by a six minute period played by the reserves/walk-ons. Courtesy of the video posted by Duke, there were some times where we got a clear look at the scoreboard, and what we saw paints a much different picture than what has been circulating on social media, at least that I've seen.

Generally, the score is close throughout based on the times we can read the scoreboard. Some particular moments of interest were one where the scoreboard read Villanova 54, Duke 50 with 11 seconds to go. There was a sequence where Duke appeared to be on a nice run as we saw Duke 24, Nova 20 7:44, Duke 33, Nova 22 3:19 and Duke 36, Nova 24 2:02. The last clear look of the scoreboard in the video showed Duke 90, Nova 86 1:27. Now, it's hard to know exactly how the video was edited and which sessions we were seeing while the scoreboard was visible. Still, it's clear that both games ended up being competitive, and I would think it is safe to assume Nova won one game something like 54-50 and lost one game something like 90-86. Again, really hard to know for sure, but probably safe assumptions and at the very least it gives us some idea of how the games went.

One thing is for certain, rumors of Duke dominance clearly seem to be false/some kind of whisper down the lane exaggerations.

I considered linking to the video, but it was released by Duke and is basically a Duke highlight edit, so not much value or interest on our end other than the glimpses of the scoreboard. A quick search on YouTube will bring up the video if you're interested, but if you don't want to watch four minutes of Duke made shots, dunks, and blocks I've shared the relevant info here.
