I love what Ty has done thus far. Extremely aggressive. Penetrating hard, good kickouts. Needs a little polish on the finish but he's looked good.

Domask on the other hand still hasn't quite got out of bed yet surprisingly

Seriously, can this team play with some urgency and intensity?
This program just goes thru the motions until their backs are against the wall. Then they finally play with some urgency. At times it’s too late, at times they finally overwhelm a lesser opponent. Just too inconsistent. They will probably come back and win this game but this story is too much of a common occurrence. Something has to change.

Massively concerning that in 3 of our first 4 games, we’ve let Eastern Illinois, Oakland and Valparaiso come out and take early 8-9 point leads in games we should be dominant from the get-go

It didn’t happen vs Kansas or Marquette. Me thinks they just have no motivation against these lesser teams. As long as it doesn’t happen against the big ten teams that aren’t ranked it should be ok

We will lose another braggin rights game this year with our lack of basketball IQ and lack of intensity. Not sure my heart can take it.

I think this is the mindset of a team that doesn’t end up doing anything special. I don’t think Brad would disagree with me

They are not ready to play tonight.

We can talk about who to blame, but this team did not show up ready to play.

I’m OK with Moretti getting some more tick if it makes this offense look anything but absolutely lethargic, even if we’re sacrificing some on the defensive end. I think he’s the closest thing to true PG we have, and he looked solid enough against EIU

Valparaiso was quite bad last year and lost their best player. If we don’t win by 20+ that’s a bad sign
