What better way to put the nightmare that was the 2021-22 college basketball season behind us than with a blowout in the first game of 2022-23. And that’s exactly what the N.C.

It amazed me what horrible questions reporters would ask in news conferences and it didn’t matter if it was for a tiny high school or a major Division I sport.

For years, Mets fans complained about the offense being too one-dimensional. And now, coming off a season with 101 wins with a much more balanced offense, those same people are saying that the Mets need more power, the same dimension they thought the team relied on too much in earlier years.
