Personally I'm not surprised how well Cal was able to score; they have shown good offensive aptitude in their games so far. On the other side, our offense has been struggling for some time. This is not really a surprise to me as JB likes to run a few plays that highlight certain players, and the problem is that we don't have a consistent scorer. As consistent as CJ was last year, he struggled down the stretch and it hurt us. Like many of you, I was hopeful that Cooney, TR and BJ would provide some consistent shooting but they have struggled.

This team will only go as far as the young players develop throughout the course of the season. And Chris and Joseph will improve. I hope that TR and BJ also improve but there but I'm not sure how much they will. The one player that I really hoped would be consistent is Cooney but he's really struggling with his shot.

I was pretty pleased with Mike G though, glad to see him play more aggressively and with more confidence. I hope this provides the leadership that this team really needs.

Part of some of the disappointment on this board is that we've been spoiled by the past few teams where we just reloaded and incoming players were better than expected. This year will probably follow a different script, but it could be a good one if the players see where they need to improve and get there. I think the D will get there, the players just need experience to play this zone together.

I'm still pretty excited to watch MG, CM and KJ continue to develop. If TR, BJ, TC, and others improve then I'll just be happier with the season.
