Tomi is much better than expected. Hope he gets eligible. Liked Morez’s game too
Went on a run when we had basically our most experienced lineup out there (besides Boswell). Ty, DGL, Tomi, BH, and KJ. Pretty versatile lineup with ability to defend
Yes, but a lot also are not.
It was good to watch and recognize the new players but now time to turn on Football.

Am I'm i doing this chicken little thing correctly?

Has anyone else noticed that one of the announcers has a pronunciation problem?
Certainly better than planning against Parkland!

I would like to see us win the second half by improving every aspect of our game.
I really love that Brad does this. He's like, "You guys think you are good going into the season? Let's have a quick reality check to get us back on track"
Some quick observations:
1) Defense can get ball back 1 of 3 ways: TO, rebound, after it goes through basket. We've mastered No. 3, time to move on to Nos 1 & 2
2) All the hype about DGL's improvement and how good Morez will be look to be correct
3) Beard is a really good coach...and while Ole Miss may not be as good as we have helped make them look (the early 3's were of the unguarded H-O-R-S-E variety), they are a very good team
4) I think we'll (eventually) be OK. Lots of new parts and clearly out of synch on both ends of the floor at this point. Bring on EIU!

This isn’t fun but Brad will use this. I knew looking at their returners this could get ugly
Over the last ten minutes of the half we've been roughly even.
Work in progress.

I'm ok with our two primary ball handlers (Boswell and KJ).
Not very much impressed by the offense we're running however. The ball keeps sticking up top, with the ball handler being pressured near mid-court while calling for a high pick n roll (over and over and over and over again). And our passing has been atrocious.

Great start!! Maybe throw in a few more adjectives...like...."terrible", "awful", or "pathetic".
Game changed when Brad took out KB and put in DGL.
Starting to lean on DGL starting. Why? He knows what Brad wants.
Yea, honestly the end of the first half was encouraging! We started to look like we were settling in. I don't care about a win or loss, to be honest, I just wanna see this team learn from their mistakes and improve. That first 10 minutes was awful and maddening haaha but now we seem to be making some progress and playing together. Hope the second half we continue to see improvement

Love that Brad interview. You can tell he likes this team and relishes the opportunity to help them grow.
