We just need to reduce turnovers and develop some identity and cohesion on defense. At that point, we will have a season.
But these two things need to change starting yesterday.

After we lose the next 3, Ollie will surely be on the fire seat. Especially if we can’t fill the civic center vs wichi st

Vs #3 Wichita State - Definite L

OT against Monmouth and Coppin State at home, we struggled against Stony Brook too. This team is not going to beat any of those three schools with or without Gilbert. Just reality unfortunately. I’m still watching though.

I disagree about the Gilbert part of that. He makes a HUGE difference to this team.
We were 4-0, having just beat Oregon, and down 1 to Michigan St. at halftime. Gilbert gets hurt, and it's a different season. Yes, we would've still lost to MSU and probably Arkansas.
But having 3 guys who can drop 16 on any given night out there, compared to 2, is a huge difference. There just isn't enough quality on this team beyond Jalen, Alterique, and Larrier. Vital is the only wildcard/"x" factor.

1. Colgate
2. Stony Brook (struggled)
3. Boston U
4. Oregon (not the same Oregon of last season)

Those are the teams we beat with Gilbert, and you’re talking him up like we beat 4 of the top 25 teams. Those were cupcakes and we still struggled against Stony Brook with Gilbert. No way he makes a difference against Arizona, Auburn, and #3 Wichita State. Those are loses regardless. Believe the hype against those cupcakes all you want, but your not convincing me.

Jalen turns it up in the last 10 minutes of the game, he’s too inconsistent. Larrier is playing timid and has been all season thus far. Gilbert has not been shooting good, matter of fact none of the three are. I’m not sure what you define as quality but I don’t see it. Maybe we are seeing two different teams play.

 

[Caronimo]

Undicilplined team lacking talent. Pretty deadly combo without even mentioning the fact that they can’t shoot (but still launch bricks), they don’t play d and they don’t rebound well. Could be a 15 loss season here boys. Buckle up. I’ll be watching regardless but boy oh boy.

 

[KodiacKemba]

Strength and conditioning a lot of leg and core work .. and hit some shots

 

[HungryHuskies]

Bazz has to get on the phone with Jalen and tell him how a true hungry husky gets it done. I'm desperately hoping we come out of this break fresh and hungry to win the entire 40 mins of games

Would love to see AG back in action. This team could use him.

We may never see AG back as a major contributor. Would love to see him back with a healthy shoulder and all the skills prior to his latest injury but I'm having trouble being optimistic. I hope I'm wrong because AG could be a difference maker.

 

[jibsey]

Never seen Auburn but watched Ayton on Az and WState. Wasn’t Blind Faith a band way back when?

 

[freescooter]

1-2 would be a solid result. 2-1 and the season is savagable. 0-3 and it’s over. We will be seeing bigger crowds at hockey games for the last month of the year

 

[Jaybird65]

Guess we'll begin to see in a couple days......

 

[Huskybass]

I would be thrilled to see better ball movement resulting in at least a few easy baskets per game. I think that would help immensely.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I see a fair amount of talent on the roster. I really think that guys like Diarra, Carlton, Polley and Whaley all have the chance to be impact players over time. The odds of that happening go up significantly if they play hard as a team and share the basketball well.
