Down 42 - 30 at the half.

Offence is doing ok, but the defense so far has no answer for their high speed paced offence.

Marko is in the zone tonight.  ESPN top 10 effort IMHO.  They should not need to go far to find the highlights.  :lol:

This years team is a huge chemistry experiment.  If it was my team, I think I would go full "Grinnell Mode" a game or two.  We have zero inside game.  I dont see it changing.  Get the ball down quickly, our guards have a decent chance to sink a long one.  If they miss, more than likely you got about a 50-50 chance to grab a very long rebound and fire up again..  I think Marko and maybe Ryan on a good night get 40 to 50 easy in a game like that.  May work, may not, but the present scheme is not working.  
 
 After sleeping on the idea, I still like it but you need good depth and be dressing a full 15 players to really make it work.  Not sure we have the manpower for a full game of it.  But mixing a little (press, quick shot, press, quick shot, ...) could still be an advantage.

This year's team so far has been a huge disappointment based on preseason projections. Absolutely no post offensive presence and bad defense makes for not many wins unless things change.

On his post game chat with BJ, Coach B is really disappointed and frustrated and especially with the bigs. I too was expecting good things this year, but doesn't look like they will duplicate the success from last season. He did say if he knew this is how the season would go, I think he meant injury wise he said they never would have redshirted AJ.

I was shocked he was red shirting from the beginning I was expecting him to be one of the leading scorers going into the season
