Just got done watching.
Cumberland is really good. He's becoming very complete. |

It was interesting to hear Lunardi talking about our seed chances. Right now we are a 3. Even if we win out he doesn't see us moving back to a 2. He didn't rule it out though. WSU as a 4 right now could flip flop with us if they beat us again in regular season. If we met again in the finals...the committee could easily just flip flop our seeds again without much thought if they wanted to.
So if we win out regular season...we are a 3 seed basically. |

This is opposed to just passing the ball to another player in our standard sets and someone making a shot. Jenifer and Evans get more of those. Now if we can just get more of his 3s to fall. |

Kyle seemed a bit dejected last night. He wasn't his typical vibrant self. We need his positive energy out there. I hope it's just a one game thing.

A play I was surprised Broome didn’t get pulled for but now it makes sense cause Jenifer was sick. I was dumb at the time it happened and thought mick was letting him play through the mistake. But against Wichita state we were +3 with the best 5. Last night +7 in 3 minutes. I understand what you’re saying, but we also shouldn’t act like we still don’t play solid defense with the best 5. We also make mistakes when neither are out there on defense. Outside of Gary, Cumberland, and Evans our guys make defensive mistakes. Moore has a terrible habit of giving up baseline and has slow feet side to side. Jenifer struggles with quickness. Brooks fouls a ton. And if we had bench players that were good enough to get a lot of minutes vs the top teams I could see it. But I don’t feel like we are there. Moore and Nsoseme aren’t ready for the big games, I’ll never believe we are better with those 2 in over Broome or kwash. |

On top of Moore's shooting it was nice to see Tre Scott have some meaningful contributions on both ends of the floor. If he can be that big who can give us a few extra minutes off the bench every game without disrupting our offensive flow, that would be huge. Only downside is that he's shooting under 50% from the foul stripe during conference play. He started the year off much better.

I know history is repeating itself but if it weren't for coming out of the horses mouth I wouldn't even consider it a possibility. When Cronin says "We are going to need some play makers in march" I learned it has to mean something so much different to him than us. Like...he doesn't mean guys like Kyle or Cane. He means the other guys are going to magically become elite play makers by shear will I guess. Like Evans is going to become Brunson or Jenifer is going to play like Young etc. Maybe not to that degree but he is expecting more than they can give us. He has tried to feature Evans to a fault. You can't force a guy to become SK. You have to realize limitations and try something different at some point. We beat an awful team last night and we didn't learn much other than he is still not going to let Cane and Kyle play for 30 minutes through certain mistakes...whatever they are. Whatever his reasoning is (even if he is right) I don't like our chances nearly as much in March if we can't use them for as many minutes as they can stay on the court. |

Tre looked pretty darn good. Moore was loose and when he is he can knock down some shots. But it has to translate to bigger games. It's a nice step in the right direction I guess. |
