They had something last night that the team has not had in a long time, Leadership. Levi has really stood up this year and taken control of the team. Also does not appear that we have the one or two players that are a cancer to the team. They have a long way to go but they are much improved over last year.

This team will be ok....hard to beat a team that shoots near 60% for the game and gets home cooking from the refs.
I'm not being negative but at some point we have to learn how to win these type of games. We just can't seem to make a shot, get a defensive stop, and box out and get a rebound when it matters - mainly at the end of the game. I like the talent on this team, I think it may be the best overall since CAG has been here. Hope we can at least get 2 wins out of the next 3 games vs Arizona St, Xavier, and UCLA..
Well, I didn't get to watch the game for personal reasons, but reading the box score pretty much tells the story. We were out rebounded by three, out scored in the paint by ten, they shot 58% and their two top shot takers (by a lot) were front court players. Meanwhile, we shot 38% and and attempted thirty three's. That tells me we were pretty much manhandled inside. They were shooting five footers while we were shooting twenty five footers.
I like this team much more than last years and for the first three games our interior defense looked pretty good, though there was a significant drop off when Taylor wasn't in there...and we hadn't played anybody. When the level of competition amped up, our inside game was not so good. Unless we can shore it up, that'll be the m.o. of most everyone we play...pound it inside. We can't live around the arc, our shooters aren't good enough. We'll see how they do against ASU tonight...hopefully better. RTR
