I'm sitting here watching Kansas at Stanford. They are both awful. 5 1/2 minutes left in first half Score is 20-6. As I typed that, Stanford hit a 3, making it 20-9!

I watched W Virginia take down Ohio State. Yesterday Wisconsin manhandled Tennessee. The SEC is beginning to look weak this year but who knows? It’s a crazy season. I think most years there are a few dominant teams that stand out. IMO, not this year. I’ve changed my mind again, I think we’re right in the thick of it. Not because we’re a great team but because there are no great teams around this year.
Of course i’m the guy who predicted a double digit loss to Louisville. So you might want to take my opinion with a grain of salt. As Redbone would say, our free throw defense saved us in that game.

We have three outstanding guards (and maybe another one in development in Juzang, but he seems to need another year). We have Sestina as a prototypical stretch four. We have two up-and-coming small forwards. And we have two bigs with great potential, but who inconsistently perform.
In other words, we have the pieces, but they are not yet fully formed, nor do they play well together. Yet.
But yesterday's game gave us a glimpse of how it could be. When we get a double-double out of the post, aggressive guard play, and hit our threes, we are a great team. Our defense has improved immensely since the start of the season, and will get even better.
It all depends on how well the players mature into their roles. But my optimism remains strong.

I figured our 3 guards had to score the majority of our points for us to win and they did just that. I believe he went with the 3 guard offense longer yesterday than he has done in any other game. That's what I see for us down the road if we are to be successful. They should score close to 60-65% of our points for us to win. I don't look for our other 3 frosh to get a lot of PT. This roster is divided in thirds; the 3 guards, the 3 big guys and the 3 frosh who will be around for another year at least.
