Any team with an aggressive full court press is really gonna give us problems. There are no ball handlers on this team, at least without Mason.

WVU may set a scoring record against us....

It's way too early for these types of declarations.

Many of these guys have never played Division I basketball, only three of them have any experience playing together and our two most talented players are cheerleaders currently. We have no idea what this team is or is not going to be at this stage and won't know for a while.

But I will say again, I really like this guard group. It is vastly superior to what we were throwing on the court last season. If Kegler is anything close to advertised, we'll be fine IMO.

Woke up and started playing like they should. 85-72, Bears. Sic 'Em!

So........I learned more about the following tonight than whether or not Mason will ever play for us or why he didn't play tonight:


1. Grant Teaff's birthday
2. Teaff's daughter Layne & her family.
3. President Livingston & her husband
4. John Morris' son in law.

Morris and Haller already in mid-season form!

I think some of these poor periods of flow disappear or at least are reduced substantially with an experienced floor general. Please get well Mason!

I will be shocked if we see Mason before conference play, and pleasantly surprised if he plays more than 10 games this year. Love the idea of him, and I'm not mad we took the chance, but anyone pinning their hopes on him coming back and being the player that torched us in 2016 is setting themselves up for major disappointment.

Any word on mason? Looks like we will not be seeing him tonight.


They've spent more time talking about John Morris' son in law.
Again?
