REZ looking good, fantastic true freshman skillset. He's gonna be a MONSTER...

Tough night for Dra on offense, but he always brings the effort.
You are, by far, one of the most insightful, plugged in people on the board. I love reading your stuff. That said, when this style didn't work versus TN because shots weren't falling.....donors were apparently out for blood because we lost.
This is going to be a highly, highly, highly volatile offense all year. The pendulum is going to swing in both directions. Shooting all of the perimeter jumpers almost got us beat at Washington and did get us best versus NW and TN because we couldn't properly close the game out. HOWEVER, there's no team in the college basketball planet that could have beaten us versus Oregon.
Living by the three and dying by the three is a real thing. I'd like to see us be able to run sets because, in the long run, it's what wins...most notably late in games, but when the shots are going down....it's damn fun to watch.
No clue how they beat Purdue. Give us credit though. We’ve nearly doubled them up on rebounds so far.

Morez...what a freakin' beast.
It is incredible how silent the crowd is. Understandably so, but this game has the feel of an early season exhibition, not a January conference game.
He’s not getting the ball in as good of shooting spots as he does with KJ, but offense seems to be going through him a bit more. He has 2 assists and probably should have 2 or 3 more.
Morez has been freed!
Andy Katz, you couldn't be more wrong on your reporting. It may be the line they are feeding you, but inaccurate

And points!
These past 8 minutes from Will have been really good in a support role. Gut feel is he has a breakout game at USC
Ty looking mad thin
I was going to mention that earlier. The crowd didn't bring much energy from the jump.
Guys... This is a 12-3 PSU team that is tough and is no joke at all.. We are missing our BEST player by far and making this team look like Chicago State that we played recently.
