The 2 things that were most obvious to me going into the season were that we did not adequately replace Hiltz and English.  For all the talk about Anderson being a great threat and deserving play ahead of Deere last year, I don’t think he’s done much YTD.   Hottle/Mcintee/Hahn have played OK but have not quite replaced English either.

So losing two of our six best offensive players, plus Deere as well, and doing nothing offensively in the portal, I expected us to be a contender like last year, but did not see us as an improved team.

Joey is the same guy he always was, so nothing he’s done there is much different than he’s done in the past.  And the team has always been undisciplined and sloppy, (11 unforced turnovers today), so that hasn’t changed either.

Mullen is surprising for sure, but perhaps the late whistle issue is something he can overcome.  (he was still 46% today, not the end of the world, but the problem was going early, keeping him from the next face off).   So of the times he didn’t jump, he was actually 6 of 9.

What I do find most surprising is that other than Leo, no one seems to be able to consistently get their hands-free off of a dodge or pick.  We are working way too hard to get clean looks.  The last few games we’ve gone through 15 minute stretches where we literally did not get one good look.  Hiltz could get his hands-free in a phone booth.   More than anything, That’s what our offense is missing.
