Can any of our big guys (minus Ibekwe) go to the basket? Is the fade away all they've got. They would get foul shots and sometimes have an and one. I don't understand it. And then Chol gives up a rebound to the 5'9 guy. JFC. Well there's the "and 1", just the wrong way! |

Can Marial make a shot? Goodness. No and he can’t play D either. Well, he’s tall, so he has that going for him. |

Jordan Pope is for real!
Too bad Wayne couldn't find a decent big man for him to play off of. Weird that a "big man" coach has maybe the worst front court roster in the conference.

Well, we had 2 guys come to play today. Need 3-4 to win. Nice job by Pope and TB, but most of the rest of the team is MIA.

He has to be able to land recruits before he can coach them. This roster is lacking but Tyler has a solid all around game, and then you drop off to about nothing! Better off going 4 out, with Tyler as the big and running a "5 out" motion/cut offense... then change it up every so often. |

Hold on a tick. Small lineup working all of a sudden!

Well, here comes the "let's try to make up for poor team play in the last 3 minutes" to try and pull one out. Can say it always gets interesting...
With what? A small lineup that moves... harder to guard.

I think you might need to consider starting TB, MR and 3 guards. KC is just too slow on D. |

Maybe by mid Pac12 he is over the injury "thinking" and ready?? |

He’s just not a good recruiter. I’m afraid Pope will leave after this year, who is his best recruit not related to the coaching staff. |

What was the injury MR was recovering from? I’ve wondered if he’s not getting as much lift when he jumps this year but can’t remember if it was the same last year. Too many times he gets a lane and drives and then doesn’t go up for the shot. Also just short on a lot of his shots down low. |

Too many times he gets a lane and drives and then doesn’t go up for the shot. Also just short on a lot of his shots down low. Think it was a hairline fracture or ?? to his lower leg. Required a surgery I think. It'd be nice to actually play some 2nd half D. I believe this is the 4th game out of 4 OSU has given up 40+ in the 2nd half. Luckily OSU shot 60% to beat USC. Well... depending on the Cal vs UCLA game we fall to the bottom tier. Guessing Oregon handles WSU. Who knows with UCLA?? UCLA 2-2/1-3 WSU 2-2/1-3 UW 1-3 OSU 1-3 Cal 0-4/1-3 Oh well... expectations on the road aren't much as WT's wins about 20% (or less now) in Pac12 roadies. |
