Silva and Andela both very quiet. Some rushed misses from Silva and I'm not remembering anything from Andela.
They're too good offensively to not produce when they get the ball down low.
They'll come around when the offense becomes more organized.

Props to Wayne for changing it up down low and giving Rand a shot. Man what a difference he made tonight. His defense created a lot of our offense in transition during our run, and Jarod finally got hot and drained a couple of HUGE shots. Those last 12-13 minutes or so looked a lot more like the team we saw in March. Next up a good test @iowa State. They were awful last year but expect them to be improved and hungry. I'd be just fine with splitting the two upcoming road games and seeing some guys continue to grow into their roles offensively.

So...first impressions.
We are more talented and athletic than the typical Tinkle team has been.
That felt like the kind of early season game we would have lost with other Tinkle teams.
Lots to clean up but lots of potential! 1-0.

They were working on it when he wasn’t in the game. I think that was affecting his shot. He figured it out in the 2nd half. We have the most athletic depth that we’ve ever had under WT. it will be a challenge for him to figure out the rotation. Not a lot of minutes for Silva and Andela due to the match ups. Their big guy was very quick and a tough guard for either of them. The insertion of Rand in the 2nd half was a great move. Much more athletic defender than our other big guys. We got plenty of good looks in the first half, but Alatishe was the only one that could make anything |

It will be interesting when Malone-Key plays as well as Taylor. I really like Lucas,Davis,Rand,Calloo,Alitishe as solid players,and Williams and Akkino is very athletic. Against some teams,Silva and Andela will be big inside being physical and using Silvia's inside game.

I liked that it was not a nail-biter in the last two minutes. We generally win these early season games against lesser opponents but often you have to hold your breath.

We got plenty of good looks in the first half, but Alatishe was the only one that could make anything I noticed Jarod grab his calf at the tail end of the game after an awkward foul when he got a rebound. He seemed to jog it off OK but he did miss a free throw after it happened. Hopefully nothing to worry about. Was good to see him get some shots to go after an 0 Fer in the exhibition and a cold first half. Side note: did anyone else notice in the 2nd half, on the front end of a 1 and 1, when Jarod shot the first one not a single player on either team even attempted to box out or go for a rebound? Guess they knew he wasn't missing it 🤣 |

I'd be just fine with splitting the two upcoming road games and seeing some guys continue to grow into their roles offensively. Beavs better beat Tulsa. They were under .500 last year, and they’ve lost their top 2 scorers. I’d be very disappointed with a loss. Iowa State has a whole new team just about having brought in I think 6 transfers and a 4* recruit. Top two transfers are guards from Minn and Penn St. The frosh Tyrese Hunter is a very nice PG. he had 11 pts, 6 rebs, 5 asts, and 4 steals in 20 minutes in their opening win. They aren’t a real big team (top 5 players are really all guards). Interestingly, Tulsa and Iowa St both have transfers from Pac-12 — Horne from Colorado and Kunc from WSU respectively. Hopefully Iowa St is still trying to find itself and Beavers can use their size to an advantage. I think we’ll see another big game from Alatishe. |

3 takeaways for me:
a) Warith: He should be able to get his against anybody, and so far so good. Having a guy that keeps us in the game when everybody else is off is huge. Hope he will be that guy all year.
b) The guards are playing tight, and it's understandable - the competition for minutes is brutal.
c) RAND! Looks like he's a guy that can dominate the defensive end of the court. Needs to pick his spots better of when to go for blocks vs. go get the rebound, but he has all the tools we need. We could have a scary-good D with how well he can defend the rim.
