Great all around game for Solo but is he still considered our best shooter? I'm not so sure that he is.

All around no, offense pretty good but can’t pass still. His defense not awful but far from improved. Gets to the rim better for sure.

I really hope when UConn plays SJU, Hurley and Pitino talk to the refs before the game, and tell them just let Zuby and Tarris go at each other and swallow the whistle.

I'd love to watch those two go at on both ends of the floor for 30 minutes.

Tarris will win. I’ll take that deal.

Games like this make me wonder how BM works in.

Actually for me watching the inconsistency of Stewart and Ross I think he brings a different dimension, but I get what you’re saying. Think he’s missing the chance to get more comfortable with these games and the injury.

On the Solo Ball foul, 4 minutes left 2nd half under the basket, anyone else see Karaban pushing away the Columbia player trying to help Ball up?
Expand ...

Yup I didn’t like that but oh well. Maybe more to those two in the floor prior to that? If not please just let the kid help him up!

Starting small forward. He's our most talented player.

Yeah, I think it’s obvious that we’re still missing that last piece in the lineup. Ross and Stew still have too many “space cadet” moments, even tho both are seemingly improving incrementally. We need Mullins to help with our shooting consistency and perimeter defense. He’ll be excellent spacing the floor for Demary/Smith /Ball/Reed rim attacks as well.

He provides very little rim protection or rebounding presence - can see teams attacking him if he's in there. We shall see - not super confident about his 10 minutes.
Expand ...
I wouldn't say very little - 4 boards, 1 block in 14 minutes. Extend that to 28 minutes and it's 8 boards and 2 blocks. Reed had 8 boards and 2 blocks in 25 minutes. Seems pretty close to me for the frosh vs senior. Definitely would be good to see him make some more shots, dunks, putbacks. But other than that, he's holding his own.

And yes, I realize that Reed has more impact over those minutes and scores way more. But it's enough for a backup center.

Freshman Clingans are not walking through the door at almost any program.

Yep. The shooting is awesome but he also just knows how to play and he's quick/fast with his movements and decision making. We're also going to be very quick on defense when he's back and Ross gets to sub in for him.

If he's not back by E Texas A&M, he's going to have some hard ramp up games.

Coming back from injury and adjusting to college ball may not be that easy. Especially with Big East play around the corner if it's after A&M.

Free throw shooting was bad. Rebounding should be much better. Too many fouls in the second half.
Expand ...
I mean, I agree, but good lord, someone told the officials at halftime that the game was running too fast and they needed more time for commercial breaks or something. Seven total fouls in the first half and 20+ in the second half. That's just ridiculous

It's much more obvious based on watching him. He put in a couple late buckets. He's easily moved, slower reaction time. He'll be good with time, but he's not there right now.
 
Jayden could be really good for us if he gets more consistent and practice discipline and smartness playing defense.

Silas stirs the drink for us on offense.

We have a big 4 in AK, Silas, Solo and Reed.

Once Mullins is back in the fold, Huskies Wagon will be chugging…

BYU not playing super great so far. I think we should win this one, and I'm just dying to know who/how we guard AJD.

Great first half, Ross' best half of his career. Bummer to see him disappear in the second half, as it shows the inconsistency we all come to know.

Reed/Demary/Smith/Ball/AK look like they're ready.

Reibe is concerning - he lools like a fawn out there right now. Let's just hope his backup minutes are against their backup 5. Stew was non existent.
Expand ...
Wonder if we go the Edey theory. Let him get is, make him play D and try wear him down.
 
Stewart has been given every chance to shine against the cupcakes. He will be valuable for sure... coming off the bench. Braylon is the clear 3 now and for as long as he stays and stays healthy. "Put it in the book".
 
About what I think we should have expected - an easy win but in the vein of the NH game, a little erratic.

AK is looking great, love the guy. Nice to see Ross hitting 3s and having some good minutes, Stewie did well enough even if he didn't put up #s. Still, would like to see more production from that spot which Mullins will hopefully bring. Tarris, another rock solid showing, this bodes well. Two games in a row Malachi comes in and immediately buries a 3, thank you!

Can't wait for this Saturday, first big game and the start of some serious competition.
