There are a lot of new faces on rosters and coaching staff's in the PAC this year. I'm not sure anything is a given for anyone. Certainly you have to initially give UCLA the nod.

I like the type of player we are getting. Long athletic defensive minded players. If you play solid defense and take care of the ball,you are in most every game.

Agree with you 1000%. The long, athletic types really jumped off the page last year, and they seem to be a great formula for competing at a very high level . I am pleased that we did not just attract these athletes from the elite 8 run..., but that we loaded up the year prior, and this would signal that we have future ability to draw similar ( even higher ranked ), athletes !

Love the defense! I always wanted our program to get back to its defensive roots...I wanna see a buncha junk yard dogs out there, and scores in the 60's.
I hate what the NBA has become. I don't want to watch a 135 to 125 game of fast paced, up and down the court, and no defense.
I think Tink is on to something with the bigs, and playing D

Ralph Miller would have been proud of the second half of the season last year. I thought Tinkle said that he went back to coaching defense and had an assistant teach more of the offense. Tinkle started out as defensive guy when he got here got tot he tournament and then seemed to have lost his way until last year. I really, really hope we have the same style of team next year, i.e. a team totally buying into the defensive plan of Coach Tinkle and putting forth the effort that it takes to successfully execute that plan. To a certain extent, I could almost care less about wins. Last year's team looked like a team that had been well-coached to play basketball. I would love to see Tinkle keep that up next year. We've got the dudes to do it.

Looking forward to basketball season. Lot's of athletes on the roster who have potential. Those who buy in to team ball and defend will get the playing time.

Agree about the defense. We will need a few guys who can make baskets. And at least one who can create his own shot. If Alatishe can knock down 12-footers, he is that guy.

Give yourself a shake. This is a team that made it to the Elite 8 this past season. This year is almost totally about the wins. EDIT: It's totally about the wins.
Some may like to get wins by defense, some by offense, but wins, especially tourney wins, are the only real yardstick for measuring success for this team in this upcoming season. GO BEAVS!!

I meant by the comment that if we see the team play with the same style, effort and intensity this coming year as we did last year, I will be happy. I guess I should have included a line that says that I expect we will get a lot of wins with that kind of effort but I am not necessarily expecting to go to the Elite 8 again, especially after losing our best player. However, if we play the same game we played last year, the wins will take care of themselves.
