The expected inexperienced mistakes are there, but you can also see the raw skills he has that should only get better over time. He moves well, which is an immediate improvement on most young bigs.

got some major concerns about our bigs. Josh O lacks bball IQ right now and Loveday just isn't ready for prime time. Thamba is pretty much our only reliable true big man...and that is concerning.

Really wish JTT was healthy.

Just a hunch, but I think y'all are gonna see Mr JTT on the basketball court this year. And it'll be a welcome site because I truly believe he's needed if this teams going to contend and win another title.

we need him. thamba alone is not enough depth down low to win it all.

We look solid. We are keeping up the pace with Houston on D. Our shots aren't falling completely yet. They will.


Was at that game. The defense wasn't spectacular.. No Colorado was terrible and shell shocked. What Hou did much better was physical rebounding and getting easy inside looks.

we've got some definite holes in this team if we get a bad matchup or have an off night from deep. championship potential is there but championship consistency might not be.

If they're giving up a solid chunk to No Colorado then it is a concern. Saw them live and had little offensive talent

I enjoy King calling our games. His X And O's talk is great!
DanaDane

Lohner is an interesting study. These aren't Big 12 teams we're playing but he has an uncanny way of running within an inch of the baseline all the way to the basket and get open.
DanaDane

What was Cryer the other night? Something like 1-12. Very uncharacteristic.

Tonight: 7-12, 3-5 from 3, 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal
DanaDane

Flagler checks out with a double double, 13 points and 10 assists (only 1 turnover) to go with 3 steals.

george has such great passing and vision have we ever considered letting him run the point.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
George has similar (exceptional) court vision as Davion Mitchell had.

We were thinking the same thing at the same time!
