Hope we can hang in there and win this game. I have never heard of the school we are playing, and I live in Texas.

Is it fair to say that this team is just not good?

They are struggling for sure. And no, I don't think you can call this team good, at least so far. There's a lot of talent on the team, so hopefully it gets better, but the start of the season has been...not sure how to put it. Less than we thought?

Kinda want to see another couple guys foul out just to see if we can stop them 5-on-4

I know we’re missing some guys but come on. Is it fair to say that this team is just not good?
Seems like plenty of talent and guys who can play. Guess they just can’t play together. At least not yet.
I knew we’d miss Ayo but I didn’t think this much. Yikes.
Coaching also comes into play

Which makes no sense. Reports were he was giving Ayo fits.
Clearly there's something going on pervading the team. Even if we aren't top 10 we are obviously better than this. This is just gross... or Groce.

I hate these low energy day after thanksgiving day games. That’s what I’ll blame it on anyways 😜

Seem to be thinking a bit too much out there, trying to run sets/play defense a certain way and it's stopping them from using the raw talent and athleticism advantage that we have.
