I'm leaning towards this as well. I'm kind of with Calban on this one, I was expecting our front court to be a lot better than what it is. Wasn't Kasongo averaging a ridiculous amount of BPG in JUCO, like 6bpg in 40 minutes? Was hoping he'd be at least a defensive presence. I know we didn't get to see him much in the exhibition, but still.

Barnes putting Alexander in for Reese is a high risk high reward play, will give them a chance at a rim protector which this team could desperately use. As long as Alexander rebounds like he did the other night it's a good play. He brings about the same offense as Reese, is just as bad defensively guarding his guy, but can be a rim protector.

NCAA needs to pull a Johnny Football and get RayK cleared by Friday. Had high hopes for watching him develop this season.

You guys know I'm not a downer, but I'm feeling more like 15-16 wins. Post, pg, and overall depth is disconcerting to me. But I don't adamantly disagree with higher win total predictions.

GW just beat top 10 Virginia, that game became much harder.

Most of them are going to be tough with a half court offense that's only plan is the 1on1 drive.

Extremely disappointed with that part of our play tonight.

The other phases showed good promise but that phase must be using jerry green as a consultant

16TOs and 9assist. Smdh

We shot very poorly in all three phases tonight, shoot 45% from the field, 35% from 3 and 75% from the free throw line and we score close to 90. The turnovers were definitely bad, but I feel a lot of that can be contributed to Punter being out for the majority of the final 10 minutes, we need both him and Moore out there. The fact we out rebounded GT is amazing and is a good sign, we made good defensive adjustments at halftime to limit Jacobs, we just didn't shoot very well and turned it over which Barnes mentioned post game wasn't something the staff has seen from these guys.

This is 2/3 games we've seen cramps pop up though, if we are gonna play that fast phillips and probably admiral have got to play, we can't be losing Moore and punter every game like that.

Think we shot 35%, 26.7% and 52.9%
Won't win many shooting under 30% from downtown.

Yup, exactly what I was alluding to, those are all 3 horrid shooting percentages. Got up a ton of shots, our defense wasn't awful, rebounding exceptionally well, shoot the ball at even an average percentage and we probably win by 8-10.

Punter played right at 30 minutes tonight and was still gassed. Heard the excuses for not playing Shembari but what good is Punter crawling up and down the floor.

Very disappointed with our conditioning so far. We have known we are going to play this style a long time. Guys shouldn't be cramping up this much IMO

I've always thought it was better to go into the pregame settings and turn the fatigue setting off. This eliminates getting tired and cramps.

Looked at everyone's OOC picks preseason. This poster is the only one that predicted 7 wins.

We still have 1 game left

Here are the results.

1 poster expected 7-6
4 posters expected 9-4
5 posters expected 10-3

Those expectations/predictions clearly haven't been met

You are one of the most miserable posters I've ever seen.

I'm not the one stressing about how terrible it is that our team is 1-2 games off pace some fan board's predictions.

Lol

That's the problem with communication these days.

Email/text or anything in print doesn't allow for voice inflection.

Zero stress on my part. Just disappointed this team isnt achieving it's full potential but dang sure am not losing sleep over it

6-12 is probably about right. If we catch some upsets could get 8, but that would be as high as I would go.

Personally, I just want to sweep Auburn, win one against Vandy, and have a punchers chance in one of the UK games. All of those are probably longshots.
