Aggy the only Top25 team to lose so far today with 4 more Top 25 games left to finish.

Obviously another one will lose in our game...but that's different.

Looking all too familiar. Probably going to be a one half team again

Well that's a gross start. Probably to be expected. Out offense is running 30 feet from the basket. They're getting whatever they want

The guard play is not good. The defense is still bad, not an encouraging start.

We look so much more athletic, need to get into a rhythm.

It's only 12 minutes into the season and I'm already tired of our defense

This switching d is killing us. Keep getting a our guards on their bigs. And then we double team and leave their shooters wide open.

I've been saying it all off-season we didn't address our needs in the portal and the idea Nunn is suddenly going to become a top level player Is insane.
