Welp, Wiley played tonight, and we blew out a ranked team that will make some noise in the PAC 12.
This is looking to be a fun year.

Ole Johnny Jones, whom we're all familiar with from LSU, took over there this past summer. Davis is coaching in Detroit now.Kudos to Mike Davis and Texas Southern for upsetting Baylor earlier this week.
I caught the last 10 minutes of the AU-Duke game and was impressed with AU because they were going toe-to-toe with Duke at that point. I agree that AU is potentially a elite 8 type of team with Purifoy back in the lineup and assuming no injuries.Had a good showing in Maui. Finished third. Three blue bloods in three days. Two wins with a close loss to Duke sandwiched in between. The ceiling for this team when Purifoy returns is insane.
Wish we had managed to reel in Justin Coleman. He balled out for Arizona last night. Just about everything he threw up found the bucket. Developed a ton since his time in Tuscaloosa.
Don't think Duke has faced anyone that defends like us. Consistently kept Zion Williamson from taking over and thundering home his trademark dunks and kept it within striking distance through most of the game with Harper's shooting and ball management. Racked up a ton of fouls in the process though. 25 FT disparity. There was a stretch where so much as breathing on them when they drove was getting called . Whatever.I caught the last 10 minutes of the AU-Duke game and was impressed with AU because they were going toe-to-toe with Duke at that point.

Could only imagine him getting Junior's minutes. He was so good.Coleman would have helped us if he had stuck around. I never heard the reason behind his transfer and I assume it was due to signing Sexton and Dazon already ahead of him on the depth chart. However he showed flashes and with the number of players that get minutes in CAJ's system along with the various combinations of players he plays Justin could have helped us a lot the past couple of seasons.
With Wiley, it's going to be a 1A and 1B thing with Anfernee. And it should be. Wiley is still not completely in game shape and continues working off some rust, and both have a lot to bring to the table. Anfernee, despite being undersized, is the perfect 5 for Bruce’s system; a hyper aggressive rim protector that excels in pick and roll situations and can step out and hit the occasional shot from the perimeter.hey Dub, why isnt Wiley starting. Figured the first game was due to rust.
Think he’ll gel fine. Probably a step down from Doughty on the defensive end, who will probably slide to combo guard with his return, but an absolute step up on offense. There will be some rust. Just hope he knocks it off as quickly as Wiley is.Curious to see how Purifoy gels with the team. He never got right after the injury. And he's gotta be rusty.
Know that feel, bro. Hopefully, Hall will return to form. You’ll need him to.As far as Bama goes, I dont think we're quite set on our starting lineup. And goodness, Hall needs to hit the boards
