Listen… today was a bummer, but Duax looks like a dude. He is so big and strong and athletic. He provides much of what we’ve had Heise and Pickford do the last few years but he’s a good 2-3 inches taller, stronger, and he can get up. That is huge for us. He’s the kind of guy that can be that muscle against teams like Drake and Murray State that we will need. Also, Betz was fantastic. He did exactly what he needs to do as an undersized 5. I know I’m skeptical about that spot and I still am 100% on the side of getting a guy at least 6’10” to get some minutes, but that’s how you do it small ball. Trying to pull some positives from the day and I’m still excited for tomorrow. Come back and finish the game this time.

Trey, Tytan, Betz, Duax, Wolfe, - every one of those guys is playing really well, but has a much better future. Peksari, too - he needs to get defense figured out so we can see him contribute. But when he shoes, there’s a big offensive upside. I feel like we will see a different team in Feb/March.

Agree. This team is so young. They hit the first half with a game plan and executed it really well. The other team made adjustments at halftime that they didn’t know how to handle. Partly I’m thinking, why was Trey handling the ball instead of Bowen so much? But I think that’s more about his ceiling and future.
