Is the 7-1 kid the same one we recruited really hard but lost him? I don't remember if it was USC but I know we lost some 7 foot kid from a high school in Texas a few years ago to someone in the Pac 12. I thought he was from San Antonio.

CBSSN is not available through Sling. Does anyone know of another way to get this?

I'm trying Fubo. Might have to get their free trial

You can access streameast on your phone via google. It won't have the game listed until it starts. (Definitely use it as a last resort) but if all else fails that'll work via your cell phone. Fubo and Hulu will have it. Not sure if Hulu does free trials or not.

As someone who recently subscribed to Hulu starting with a free trial, I can vouch for the fact that they do offer free trial periods.

Pretty cheap as well. We've had it 4 years now and aside from a glitches here and there have had nothing but good things to say.

YouTube TV also allows subscriber to include 2 other parties to join. We pay our son $23.99 per month, which is a third of his cost.

Are we a short team or an average team by height standards for a high major program? I can see from the statistical chart we are average for all of D-1, but that includes 200+ mid major schools that would most likely have shorter overall teams.

We might just drop Sling for it. We've missed some games we wanted to see because of Sling's limitations.

Roach comes to life when he moves to the 2.

Robert Wright should be on the floor at PG at all times. We actually move the ball much better and spacing gets much better.

Omier needs to stop shooting 3's.

Our only big and he's at the top of the key shooting 3's instead of rebounding. Make it make sense.

Defense is a mess. The lazy close outs on 3s year after year (when even in the vicinity) is just coaching and effort. Hopefully it can be turned but trend isn't good

I had hoped we would bring in a defensive minded assistant and instead we brought in a guy who never had a D better than #127 and his last 5 teams ranged from #252 to #347.
