Decent game. Wilkins is figuring it out. Mom is a beast, needs more looks. Moreno is great offensively but man he has to rebound better and be tougher.

X-factor is if Pope wants to keep his job or get fired. If he rides with Zoom all year we’re gonna lose some games we shouldn’t. Williams is the guy at PG.

Defensive rebounding was concerning tonight, but I agree.

Moreno is older. Mom is better than expected. We have a number of long, mobile guys who defend on the perimeter.
Like I and a few others have said, this is an embarrassment of riches once Pope works the kinks out. We're 2-0. Florida lost to Baylor

REBOUNDING is a problem right now but it can be fixed. Love mason Williams and what he brings along with Wilkins. I think Diallo is pressing and will find his groove. Texas Tech is a good team, quick good shooters and good rebounding team along with being good defensively.

Frankly we should have been able to blow out a team without their 2 best players that spent most of the game chucking 3s. We’re a fringe top 25 team until I see otherwise. I won’t sugarcoat it. We’ll be an OK team. But Zoom might legitimately be untenable, I fear. I don’t get good vibes from that guy.

This. We played a tournament quality team and didn't choke. I'll take that for Game -1

Game 0 Next Wednesday. Crappy tip time though.

Things may look different when K. Williams gets healthy. No room for Zoom IMO.

Shew. We have long way to go. Zoom being disinterested and bad is not what we needed. This team may have to get everything going by playing great defense. Not optimistic about that from a Pope led team. Did McBride play much at all? From what I’ve seen so far, we’re gonna struggle to make the tournament.

An hour ago that was true. Now we have FF potential.

I’m not an expert at all but I’ve said all along Zoom had quite possibly the best big man in college last year in Steinbach and he still couldn’t win games. Look at his highlights, 70% of them are mid range jumper’s. And that’s against west coast teams.
