Up Next: SMU

I really do think we can be really good, and this week will show us a lot. Historically, it seems like we've actually done pretty well in preseason tourneys - outside of the last B4A and that tourney in Hawaii a couple years ago. Hopefully we can get out of here with a couple wins.

In the last B4A we got royally jobbed in the first round and let that carry over to the Stanford game. That season ended up being a lot like last year...

Phyfe was cleared for full practice yesterday.

I think Phyfe will be a good player, but whenever he has had minutes nobody passes him the ball to try to make a bucket in the post. I am assuming Jake just doesn't think he is ready with that part of his game, but it definitely stalls the offense to a point. If Phyfe is in with Carlson, I think that would be best as he would have some help inside.

In general our guards have been poor at looking to the post. It's why this team was 3-22 from deep in one half against a D3 school that our post players had a 5 inch advantage on.

I forgot about that game, I just remember the officiating against Louisville in the NCAA tournament.

One thing I'm worried about after watching these other tournaments is fouls. They're calling these games tight, and Bennett likes to get himself in foul trouble, even when he's not fouling.

Oh I'm watching this game and I'm loving it. With how highly ranked the MVC is this year, I'm fully convinced that WSU was holding the league back. And I'm only mostly joking about that.

3 schools I dislike more than anything and love to see lose. Iowa, WSU, CU. nothing brings me more joy than to see those 3 schools fall flat and fail.

There’s actually an interesting thought process I have on this I’d be happy to share when not on my phone.

Then you must be loving today. WSU likely losing to Cal, Iowa getting dominated by the Ragin' Cajun.

its been a good day!

Wow, way to jinx Cal guys.

[unipanther2154]

if ppl thought we couldn't inbound vs Texas A&M they should watch this game......wow

Watching that game has only solidified that fouling is going to be a major concern for Koch. Even when you don't foul, fouls are being called. Hopefully Koch can get to their Center first.
