Things I love and hate

[Sphinx]

What I hated most about last night was that Tarin's awful game suggests that we aren't as deep at guard as we thought. We started three guards last night and discovered, when they got into foul trouble, that we had no dependable bench. Given the team's overall foul situation, Tarin's three fouls in three minutes were as mindless a demonstration as you're likely to see from an experienced player. And Tarin cannot be on the floor late, as a lifetime 65% foul shooter who is trending worse, not better.

And more talent. As guys filter into the program, it should look better.

The right kind of talent, too. Hurley has a "type" like every coach, and in some ways we're putting a square peg in a round hole right now. Nothing wrong with the square peg, just made for a different style of play.

Things I hate - all of the half-measure rule changes the NCAA has made that haven’t improved the game much.

Doing something simply to do something. Never change NCAA, never change.

One game man. He's showed the other side too. Everybody is gonna be up and down this year. At least to start.

Prediction: we come out and aggressively D up Zona like our lives depend on it. I just hope it doesn’t result in us getting into foul trouble. It will depend on how the game is called. Us blowing Umess Jr. out while struggling on D was probably the best result going into a big game. Hurley will be riding their asses all week.

Yeah, I was thinking this as well. It was a fun win for the fans but there was enough wrong that there is no way the team is going to be allowed to relax before AZ. We need to punch first in the game Sunday and keep the crowd engaged all game long.
