We are who we thought we were.

SU's got a lot of good pieces but isn't operating comfortably as a team yet. And our defense is bad and probably won't become great at any point this year.

My concerns about Gillon were realized today - he didn't look like he had the ability to play against a decent opponent. Too rushed, too much space needed to shoot, too inefficient with the dribble and slow to get us into a set.

The other guys, not a lot of surprises. The spacing was crappy and the guards, as is too often the case, couldn't or wouldn't feed the post. So Roberson's offense went missing and we didn't get much from the bigs. White's slow; he's also kind of a black hole and forced some bad shots. Thompson had a typical freshman game.

Not the end of the world. Weaknesses were exploited by a disciplined opponent. We knew this team would need to improve to become a very good team and that's still the case. Wouldn't be surprised if we beat Wisconsin on Tuesday.
