Hurricanes(?!) 1-0 with win against Ottawa of Kansas. They have 3 bigs. A freshman
7' and a transfer 6'11" from a community college. #3 is a SR transfer from Middle Tennessee, Chris Loofe 6'11" who averaged 7.3 pts per game and 6.3 reb per game.
He will probably cause the Huskies some problems. Game @7pm on ESPN+.
Massey Comp them 82 us 311. Pomroy them 113 us 295, Massey them 104 us 316.

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m liking coach so far but he needs to just put two bigs in. Two guys 6’8 or above this 4 guard thing is just getting us absolutely bullied on the boards. I’d thought the lineups would be a little bigger after grambling bitched us for two halves.

Siiike, we still suck

Yeah I mean we won’t really know what we are until conference play. But would like to see some flashes in out of conference. Defense flat out has to be better.

We already know what the team is. They’re non athletic, small, don’t defend well and foul a lot. They’re a D2 team currently but hopefully he will be able to get more D1 guys next year. Will they get better? Probably.

Tulsa won 30 games last year and made it to the NIT final. They likely have a good team this year too.

Is Cal Klesmit even on the team?

he was in sweats so assuming dealing with an injury

Tulsa did win 30 games last year but this years team only has 2 guys on it from last years team.

When is the East-West U rivalry game?

I had the game on while I was working. Every time I looked up, one of our guys was attempting, and I do mean attempting, a 3 point shot. I haven’t seen the stats, but I’m wondering how many were made? Seems like I saw the same offense last year when no one wanted to drive to the paint. Sad.

Positives:
No Burno.
We beat them in the 2nd half by 8 points.
We seem to actually have a 3 pt shooter in Max Weisbrod.
No Burno.

its early in the season and coach is playing 10+ players. There are 5-6 who can compete at this level . As he gets farther down the bench the size , skill and quickness diminishes quickly. Hopefully for conference season he shortens the bench.

Offensively, this team has zero in common with last year's team IMO. They are playing team ball & it is fun to watch versus the offense last year which seemed to have no plan.

But other than the 3pt shooters of Douglas, Weisbrod and Polite the rest of the team was 0 for 12!

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s a link to the box score, they do one of these for every game and you can obtain from a variety of sources.

We played a really solid team on the road, and outscored them second half.

We were grossly outsized, snd still managed to dominate later in the game. We need one more big.

A W would have been better, but you can see the new trajectory, it's going to be fun.

12-18 wins this season fair to say?


GO HUSKIES!

I think, like with football, when you try to fill the roster with transfers from a level or 2 below us, you might end up with poor results.

At some point you have to win a recruiting battle…or 5

In defense he's had no time to recruit so he had no choice to bring D2 players from his own school and from a couple of D2 schools he played against. Next year with a full year of a recruiting behind him they should be better, and the following year I'd expect them to be very competitive after he has a recruiting year and a chance for players to develop. Bottom line, much easier on the eyes to watch now but still not there, a couple years down the road things could be fun.

Next year at this time I'll probably be saying the same exact thing about our football program as above as this was just a lost year.

One of the MANY things that angered me during the Burno era, I felt the team would give up if they were losing. The camera would zoom in on Burno and he looked defeated. Always angered me. Not with this team. We were down by 20 and the team played like it was a close game.

I believe that when the portal hits next year, Coach needs to go international and sign a couple 7'0. He ISNT going to find this in Wisconsin.
