Great block by Ben
Yeah, you're right. With how this defense has look wouldn't put it past Rio to drop 80 as well. Lol.
Beautiful find by Keaton to Andrej. Very good last 2 minutes.
Wide open threes, Wagler can't buy one. But he rebounds and makes the right reads. He does other things besides the shot.
Three consecutive 20 point outings for Stojakovic.
Wagler is our Point Guard. 6.6ft athletic,free throw shooting. End of season he'll be a 12pt. per game, 6 assists, 5 boards, 1 TO max player. Who found him in Kansas, needs a cash Bonus. Love the kid.
Aside from jumping on the pump fakes again, he's very solid tonight. Gonna need that from him as Tomi tries to get back to 100 percent.
He and Petro definitely the bright spots tonight. Hopefully Petro's hammy holds up.
yup and Jake isn't even shooting better than Ben coming into today.....6/19 on the year
meanwhile Ben is I believe third in total boards on the year and second in blocks on the team
he has got to hit better on these opens ones though, no doubt about it
back in
Maybe never. If these kids want to win it all, they have a lot to learn about the level of defense and 40 min. of focus and effort required. We have not seen it yet...just the same mistakes on defense over and over. Not sure the athleticism is present to reach the level needed....but you never know if they collectively chase a common dream all out.
We need to go back to 8 man rotation each game for these huge match ups coming up. Sending out 10 player makes game ugly and no Flow. Whoever is playing best keep em out there until they foul out or cough a lung up.
Rio getting to the hoop whenever they want. Better athletes/players will finish.
Defense looked awful yet again. No zone yet again. Wish someone would grill Brad why we don't see it. Our bigs can't guard anyone when they're pulled out on perimeter
Petro looked awesome

Funny, sure, but it tells a story. Keep us from penetrating and you'll keep us from scoring.
Our defense at 3 point line killed us against Bama and no better tonight.
He’s 35% for the season as of this moment (0/2 tonight) and shooting 28.6% in games that are against teams other than winless Jackson State.
Appears ti be his natural expression.
Should know this but who is Bam and why do they call him that?
How do you not call that foul. Petro got mugged for a breakout. Just awful
