We only have a few shots left, better win 1 or 2 of them.

It doesn’t help that the PAC is shitting the bed against P5 teams. I think Texas tech is favored 5.5 and this game is much closer to Lubbock than it is to Los Angeles. What helps is that Weaver and Bennie have already played a game to get some off the rust off. I expect another stellar performance from KPJ. Pudly76 likes this.

He killed the circuit and had the pros and Olympians in awe. The only questions I heard was could he fit his game into the college type team game. Boy has he. Kid looks pretty freakin good after a couple games to me.

Welcome to the bubble (if we’re fortunate enough to be included) already, just 4 games into the season. I don’t know why I ever expect any better. I guess we are what we are, just a water polo School.

Way too much one on one - and too many guys are just turnover machines - Thornton, Aaron, Usher. He also seemed to sit Nic for way too long at the start of the 2nd half - not sure if he was disciplining him for his first half technical, or just worried about foul trouble. This is going to be a long season if we can't get a handle on these turnovers.

Until we start beating decent teams, we will remain an underachieving mediocre program.

Being bad in the TO column is the worst stat to be bad at. So lazy with their passing it is pathetic. It's all-star game type passing where they don't expect anyone to play tight D. If they don't get a handle on this quickly, its going to be a disappointing season.
