Defensively we are already ahead of last year. Offensively we look a little rough but hell it’s mid October still! Glad to be watching the Cats. Tons of upside and I don’t believe there is anyway there’s 8 teams better than us. We will go a legit 11 deep with little to no drop off. We will wear teams down this season. Should be a fun one.

LOVED the hustle and fire. LOVED IT.

Gotta stop jacking 3s when we don't need to.

Defense is better at any point last season already it seems.


AND we're essentially down 3 dudes (Oweh- Limited; JQ- OUT; Lowe- OUT)

I know it's preseason but I LOVE what I'm seeing so far.
Let it fly. We're going to get a lot of the rebounds, but I would like ro see some offense run before we launch though. Thst last 3 attempt by JJ was a heat check. If that went down, it would have really put some stress on Purdue.

I didn't mind the heat check. I don't want AJ shooting that every again. Nor Moreno.

Hard to tell, because I don't know Purdue's team....but didn't their starters play most of that first half?

If so, damn....we gave them a mouth punch.

I thought it was a shot he had to take, but then when I saw him take it, I immediately regretted my thought. Haha

Could you imagine how tough we would be to guard if he could hit 35% from the outside though?
This is true, but I think unnecessary really. We have some really good passing big men. I don't need the scenario that started the game with Noah standing in the corner wide open, Garrison looking at him, and then jacking up a wounded duck that barely touches front rim lol

Yeah and they are playing extremely hard on defense.
Oweh has only played sparingly too.
If we had Lowe, they would be cooked.

It doesn't look like a team that just started playing together. There not rushing anything, like Cals teams allways use to start the season doing. Love the depth already. Going to be a fun year.

Very impressed with the freshmen. They are already looking pretty smooth offensively. Mo D brings a whole dimension of aggressiveness under the basket that we haven’t seen since Oscar…
