3 games. 3 absolute duds.

i see so many flaws right now.

hopefully we can pull through this, but we are certainly not the team i thought we were 2 weeks ago.

worried about what?

If we lost three in Maui I may get a tad worried but we wont.
 
we have a brand new backcourt with two underclassmen in place of a pro and a senior. did people expect us to be a well oiled machine to start the season?

You're 100% right and I've heard it from a bunch of other posters on the site.

What I don't understand (and this isn't directed towards you at all) is they don't give the same respect to the underclassmen at Kentucky and berate those guys. I'm not a Kentucky fan by any means and I could care less if they win or not but do respect the epic recurring they do, but why do we get a pass for not being where we're supposed to be while being young, but Kentucky gets laughed at and can't use the same excuse.

we aren't always the most rational group
 
I ain't worried but maybe because I didn't expect much. I think Roberts/Watkins as starters were/are better than Christmas/Coleman and what did those teams do? Ok ok, I haven't seen a single second of a game so far this year but... I hope they prove me wrong

I'd take Roberts and Watkins over DC and Rak right now too.

If we lost three in Maui, that would probably mean we would have lost to Chaminade in the 7th place game. You can pencil me in for the "worried group" if that happened.
 
Worried about what?

What did you expect?

So many new guys and returning guys in new roles example- Ennis(Fr. PG) Cooney (Nothing last year to key scorer this year) CJ(role player to the man) etc.

We lost 75% of our offensive production from last year, it's going to take time to click on all cylinders (Just looking to get better and better every game )
 
I think we need to see how we stand after the indiana game before its time to worry. 3 games 3 20 pt leads. Minn 3-0, Cal 3-0, ark 2-0, indian 3-0. dont know if any of them are any good yet
 
99% of the teams in college basketball are severely flawed these days. it's part of the game with all the young guys being forced to play. thankfully we have far less flaws then everyone else

right now our guys are bored. we will be fine
 
I am not worried overall as I still believe we "can be" a very good team.

If we played the way we have the first three games, would we have beaten a top ranked team? Probably not. However, it appears we are playing "to the level" of the competition with regard to playmaking and lots of minutes for the subs. I think the level of play would improve against a stronger opponent.

I like what's happening on defense. On the offensive side of the ball is another story. We really need to improve our shooting, both from the field and on the line. I'm confident it will get better, but it is a little frustrating right now.

who cares about Kentucky? Why even mention them? them.
 
after Monday we will have Minnesota, Cal/Ark , Gonzaga/Baylor and Indiana all in a row so we will learn a lot more after that stretch
 
Colgate was picked to finish last in their conference which is very funny because they won't. They return 8 players from last year, and were up most of the game at wake forest a few days ago. I know wake forest may suck but they are still an acc team and 3-0.
 
People laugh at Kentucky because they had fans buying 40-0 t-shirts before the season started. The FT shooting is my only major concern right now because the officiating should benefit SU, provided guys get it done at the foul line.

Sad thing is they are now making these shirts.
