I didn't see any of the games in Europe, but I'd hoped that trip would have us more ready to open the season with less drama. It always takes time to get started, but counting the exhibition we have struggled a bit in 2 of three games. We will get better and we also have shown we can play some...

LOL Jon, Too many years of watching BB not to jump to conclusions I guess. I will say I've seen enough of our guys out front defending over this year and last to feel comfortable saying we won't be successful man to man against quick guards and May is really missed as a defender. Maybe Dev...

I think we learned a lot about our team and the rotation today. I look forward to someone posting a box score.

Without a box score to look at, here are ten unprofessional observations: 1. We can't defend man to man on the perimeter against quick guards. 2. Uthoff will be in the game at crunch time and is a happy addition. He wants the ball and I really like that 3. Dev will need to work on a foreign...

I think we see Basabe eating up some of those 40 minutes in the post, but I feel very good about Gabe and Woody.

From what I've seen and where he was ranked early on I'd guess his explosiveness is pretty diminished too. Everyone doesn't get back to where they once were and I guess that's the case with Peter. There are things he does well and areas that he can help us, but he's got a ways to go to be a...

Last time I checked we still played on two ends. Our guard court defense has been considerably weakened and I expect Xavier to be a real handful for us now. A quick point guard could put anyone of the three remaining experienced guards on the bench and really put a stress on us. We don't yet...

Looks like Jennings is out of the picture now.

My guess is we may appreciate JO more when some two guard gets hot and we have no one who can begin to slow him down. I wasn't sure we had any defender who would be able to be that guy (like May was last year) before this injury. Now I'm getting pretty certain we don't have. IMO we'll miss...

I think we could be in trouble in any game where Marble or Mike gets in early foul trouble. We don't know for sure how Mike and Sapp will be coming back from injury. Our guard court needs Josh.

If we could get Jennings, the OT out of Missouri, get lucky and have RP flip back, and win two of the last three there might be hope of seeing a positive post or two on the football board:p

Does anyone know what the full extent of his injury is and has the team released an expected timetable for his return?

Fran has so many things going for him. He can boast about NCAA wins, immediate playing time, he can promise 40 minutes or close to it in this system, he stepped into an ideal situation with a winning program and established recruiting pipelines, he can count on being able to get less gifted...

We will shoot better than 11%, but if teams pack it in a tight zone (as everyone seems to think will be the case) our points will need to come out of transition and at the line. I'm pretty convinced we don't have a consistent zone buster or a go to 3 ball in the clutch. Jok may become our best...

I haven't seen it all, but Gabe has probably looked the best the last 10 minutes. Dev took the ball to the hoop at the end of the half pretty easily. JU has missed a couple of FT's and the threes I've seen have been bricks. We certainly aren't playing at near the level we did at the end of...

I think we're all ready for some basketball.

While we're on the subject of coaching how about a positive shout out for Reese Morgan who again is producing a stellar unit especially given the talent he has? Where he coaches we have strength. To be fair I'm sure some of the play calling was cut back when the QB change occurred especially...

Through 5 games this year we have had Ohio State and Wisconsin that we didn't have last year when Indiana and Penn State were played. Now that doesn't explain everything away, but it's not exactly apples to apples. Three of the five teams mentioned are in the top ten nationally defensively if...

Sounds like it was the right decision. It may not the best for football team, but probably the best for the young man. Just about the time you think the kids are starting to "get it" something like this pops up. If he was playing for MSU they would have made sure he wrote on the blackboard...

Enjoyed it very much. In the future I'd like to hear where they expect JU to get his minutes. Will it be at the 3 or the 4? I'm also curious as to who becomes the defense specialist to take May's place. I think many are taking his replacement too lightly and only focusing on his offensive...
