Good job, good guys! 2-0. All we need to do is win.
Agree 100%. That's my biggest complaint with the coaches. Mentality, killer instinct, preparation have to get much, much better if we expect to make the tournament.Good teams close out road games in tough environments. Good teams also don't do half the things we do incredibly poorly. I'm excited for if this team can actually clean those things up and if Giorgi, Trent and Ayo remember they can score 20 pretty easily. I'm pessimistic that our attention to detail gets that much better with how poor we do the little things.
Someone in the game thread said this was a great job of scheduling. I couldn't disagree more. I agree we have to challenge ourselves early, but this game has zero upside. A win isn't worth a ton and a loss is devastating.
If you want a true road game in a hostile environment, just stick with playing Arizona in McKale Center, because winning that game would be huge and losing it doesn't hurt us much at all. There is zero reason to schedule games that make it more likely to lay an egg against a creampuff.
Ditto. I am mightily impressed, as were the announcers.Well Kofi is certainly beating my preseason expectations
Both offense and defense in the half court is atrocious. Again, hate to harp on it and sincerely hope BU is the guy, but it is what it is and he's responsible.I know we won, but folks, this was more evidence that they are not doing what we were promised by a BU offense (score in 7 seconds or then set up half court, etc.) They now just set up boring half court sets and look like they're making everything up, instead of having a motion offense or some kind of scheme.

This game wasn't very fun to watch outside of Kofi in the first 10 minutes and some strong individual plays by Feliz. I'm actually happy it's still football season for onceI know we won, but folks, this was more evidence that they are not doing what we were promised by a BU offense (score in 7 seconds or then set up half court, etc.) They now just set up boring half court sets and look like they're making everything up, instead of having a motion offense or some kind of scheme.
Maybe...but if this is a favor to Colangelo to help boost GCU...I'm all for it. Very impressed. There is absolutely an upside to go into an environment like that and play a motivated team.
