Right. No sense in trying to peg minutes on a game by game basis. A lot will depend on game flow, matchup, other team's personnel, what defense we're facing, etc.

I do expect Mick to try out some different lineups in the upcoming games, though. We have seen very brief stints of some of these, but for instance:

Jenifer/Troy at 1-2
Cobb/Johnson at 2-3
Evans/Shaq at 2-3 and 3-4
Ellis/DeBerry at 4-5

We have a lot of good players. We're going to play a lot of good players. Said players are unselfish and passing up good shots for great shots. Things couldn't have gone better the first two games so I don't see Mick all of the sudden changing things up.

My advice is to just sit back and enjoy this team play and not fret that player A got so many minutes and player B got so few minutes. Mick knows what he's doing and he'll put us in the best position to win games.

I don't know if they can reach a one seed but a two or three seed is a real possibility.

I agree.

Mentions our weak schedule in November, doesn't mention any of the games in December. Butler, Iowa State, Xavier and Tenn/ GW will all be solid games.

Because it's such a new phenomenon I'm still a little worried that the offensive juggernaut that we have seen in the first couple of games is going to come back down to earth.

However, one of my favorite things about this team is the depth and versatility we can throw at any team. If one man is struggling with his shot or his style of play isn't particularly effective against a certain team...we have another man to throw at them with a different style but a similar skill level.

We should be able to avoid those really horrible offensive nights because of this.

Obviously we won't score 100 every night and there will be a few some teams that can successfully slow us down, but I think with the up tempo mindset and the unselfishness of this team will keep scoring high. Overall I think the team will average between 73-77ppg over the course of the year, which is a huge improvement from previous years.

Through 3 games: 66 assists and 37 turnovers for a 1.78 AST/TO. That is outstanding.

Beautiful we only had 1TO(very late) in 2nd half.

Farad cobb is shooting 66% from 3 out of a decent sample size of 12-18 just thought I'd let you know.

And he is averaging 15 ppg in 19 mpg pretty impressive.

Chances Mick gets National Coach of the Year?
