Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 4755603, member: 237"] Don't think I've ever seen a team gel before December. Generally talent plays a large role early on especially at the guard spot( just as it does in the tourney but obviously with a team having come together by then) . That's even more present in this portal era. You need talent and "dawgs" to go out there and make it happen as things as a team come together. When you look at our struggles in the non conference and then seeing signs of life as the conference season comes along it tells that story well. We've not had that talent level to lean on. We had Judah last year yes and to some degree Jesse but honestly not that higher level talent that wins you games early on. Pair that with the flaws of the zone and it's been a non conference losing strategy. [/QUOTE]
