I'd say it's going pretty much as expected so far, but with both defenses more prominent than we anticipated.

Unfortunately, this game bears little resemblance to December 2004 vs. Wake Forest.

I'm laughing out loud at those comparisons to the 05' team last week.

Join me won't you?

When Baylor has the ball they have a bunch of guys moving around setting screens as opposed to our possessions where everyone is just standing around.

Frazier has 5 TO. Not what I expected out of our senior guard.

Early in the season and facing elite defensive pressure, so I am not TOO worried. Definitely can't make a habit of that, though.

All of our passes are weak lobs with no intention of being a scoring play. Need to make hard dribbles into the lane and create easier plays

True. Wake and Gonzaga didn't play defense, though.

Also: paint the hall

why are we not adjusting our offense? go back to running hard like the 1st 3 games to get some easier looks

That's a lot easier to do against overmatched teams who can't match your athleticism. Baylor, and I am surprised I even have to say this, is really good.

That’s it. Sounds like hyperbole, but I just don’t see it.

Frazier just isn’t having a good game. T.O. And miscues on defense. Disappointed
