Preseason I thought this team would struggle to go 0.500 and I still stand by that. They are actually playing better ball than I thought primarily because their defense is much improved. The focus of this year needs to be to continue to improve and prep for next year when we could be pretty good. It will then be an experienced team and with the addition of Bereal and the Oregon transfer a more athletic team. The post is still going to be a weakness though. Actually Im enjoying the season even with the losses because this team busts their asses every game win or lose and Alston, Jessup, and Hobbs have their moments when they play really well. Alston is developing into an all league type player. Wacker played decent on D but both centers were horrible last night. I was waiting for Rice to give Williams some time with his back to the basket where he's crafty. He should be able to hold position on D in a zone. I lose no sleep this year. Like you I never saw this season as remotely promising and the early results cemented it. Next year I do have expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose another game or two and they will be 8/9. Fortunately, the eyeball test is not one of the metrics they use. Finish in the top 16 and you have a protected seed.

Yeah I'm not saying they don't. I just think the commitee won't seed them as high as their final ranking. "but we only lost to Stanford by 3."

All joking aside, it's a wonder that any of his perimeter shots go in with form like that. Not sure if that was tongue in cheek or not but it's true. With their struggling single Mom the twins grew up in a trailer. They're both in graduate school so whatever happens in basketball or life they've done pretty well.
