With the upcoming brutal conference opening schedule lurking in the near future .... this team had damn well better find its identity and chemistry over the break. Otherwise a 1-4 start might be the best outcome we can reasonably expect.
That wasn't boring. Just infuriating. 10-3, move on, hope we've been sandbagging.
If this team doesn't come together and learn how to play hard from the opening tip, 9-9 will be a gigantic pipe dream. This is, without question, the worst basketball I have seen in the Tad Boyle era...This team looks a lot like the 08-09 team under Bzdelik.Gel or it's 9-9.
Unfortunately, that's just not true. This team is better than the final Ski team. It is better than Tad's team. It's in a different universe than the 08-09 team. And that's now, before we can write off any potential they may have as unobtainable for whatever reason. But it sure as hell isn't fun to watch. Pulling teeth. But then... they win.

I can't figure this team out other than Derrick White is good. He is the only guy who brings it on a consistent basis.
Yeah I agree with you. I should have said White is the only starter that brings it on both ends of the floor on a consistent basis. Gordon brings defensive effort consistently with inconsistent offense. Brown plays with a focus that surpasses several of the guys on this team that have been playing college basketball for four or five years.Brown.
We should go with an all color line up. Just need to recruit a Green, a Black, and a Gray.Yeah I agree with you.

I really like the way Brown plays, he has the same quiet confidence as Derrick White. His positive plays far outweigh his negative plays and you can see that in the fact that he has the third highest Box Plus/Minus on the team behind White and Gordon.
I agree that they are far, far more talented than any of those teams....but they are likely to end up with similar records without a very dramatic turn around.Unfortunately, that's just not true.

Is Peters playing more or still in the doghouse?
I think Peters actually played a lot at the end of the first half, but don't think he saw the floor in the 2nd half.He played good minutes against EW in the 2nd half. Dom was resting his foot in the 2nd, though.
