We will and let's also revisit whether or not, Murray St. will be considered a "practice game" team
If the less talented Murray team is considered anything more than a practice game, we have a whole lot of growing up to do. Point in fact. Against Murray, we had no answer to the lack of ability to include JJJ in any really meaningful way.
Bottom line: Where we are young, we perform like a young team. Better things to come, talent is there, lotsa "rough" players. Physical maturity is a pressing issue in the years to come with this group.
Actually, you would wait to see what happens to determine whether or not either of us knows antyhing about college basketball. Yes?
Murray State is a better program than probably a third of the SEC. Possibly more.Lol
Some people don’t know much about basketball as a whole.....don’t get me wrong I don’t either.
This is Murray State over the past 10 years:
28-5
26-6
16-17
17-14
29-6
23-11
21-10
31-2
23-9
31-5
Murray State is consistently a good team.
Agreed, this will be a nice, double digit win, come March.Lol

Don’t think this team is at its best with Pons shooting 3’s although he shot them well last night. Love to see him focus on being his best 10’ or less from the basket. That one post move was impressive. Fulky probably isn’t a feed him in the post type of guy and we need someone to fill that role IMHOI don't expect Pons to give us 17 a game like he has been averaging, but hopefully he can keep that offense going throughout the season. I hope, but not super confident, that James will average more than 4 points per game as well. Offensively, he is visibly uncomfortable and really lost. He needs to attack the basket and draw fouls like Turner did in the second half. He should be able to finish around the rim. Defensively, at least in the second half, he was very good.

If they’re going to back off and leave him wide open he’s got to take them to be effective inside, if he just passes it off teams are going to slouch off him and make his post game even more ineffective.Don’t think this team is at its best with Pons shooting 3’s although he shot them well last night.

Fulky has no real post game, but he is effective as the roll mean for sure, as we could tell from those two and ones last night. He really only needs to do that and dump offs from ball penetrations to be effective on offense. Asking him to do much else isn't exactly fair.Don’t think this team is at its best with Pons shooting 3’s although he shot them well last night.
