Family and I just got home from Sioux Falls.  First in-person game in 15 years, when my son was 5. He’s as big a SU fan as I, being able to watch it with him COURTSIDE was priceless.

First 4 minutes I wasn’t concerned, kind of expected with the long layoff. Second 4 minutes, not gonna lie, thought he drive home was gonna SUCK.

Then, big shout out to Kyle Cuffe Jr, he hit that three and everything changed.  Of course the personnel change by Autry had some things to do with that, great job by HC finding the right combination IMO much quicker than his predecessor would have. Benny, Cuffe, Q and Maliq were just huge.  Once they ratcheted up that defensive intensity they never let up.  Oregon helped…a lot actually…they just couldn’t make anything for long stretches or pretty much after the first 14 minutes of the game.

Wasn’t all pretty though.  They HAVE to value the ball better and much better would be preferable.

The only thing scarier than the amount of turnovers we had was the amount they could have had. Lots of “near miss” turnovers and it was bad…on both sides. I don’t know what the final count was, it may have set some records it was THAAT bad.  Judah had several passes that had ZERO chance of getting to the intended target.  If Red is gonna get this team to reach its ceiling, valuing the ball and rebounding has got to improve. I thought we did well on the glass today and the effort/intensity was there (minus Chris Bell but hey Red was quickly all over that). To have a successful season and ultimately go dancing in March they need to get the turnovers under control.

Getting better each time out, love the way Red used his rotations today. Go Cuse!!!
