SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

without both our rotation bigs — that demonstrated the sorta guts, urgency & commitment to a system — that likely carries over to on-the-road success.

I remember after we beat SDST, there were a lot of posts around

Performance in a true road game reveals a lot about a team

we still have Khalifa and Baker getting up to speed. we might climb yet

Exactly. We are missing probably our best 1-on-1 scorer in Baker, and Khalifa

I don’t know much about baker? Is he expected to perform well at this level of

He came from UC Irvine and played 3 years there. He averaged double digits each

Solid info thanks!

Feel like you are overestimating the impact of that across the board

Football team never looked good, even when they were winning early in the season. This basketball team is different.

You might be missing a transformative game plan just getting started. Note team shooting improving, not peaking. Pomeroy

Only one team surpassed 40% last year. While BYU could go over 40%, it’s a little bit of a thin limb to jump on, TBH

Indy Coug

Thanks for your opinion. I said 40% "from here" is plausible. They're shooting 38.6% so far, 41.8% in LV, passing better

Sounds reasonable. I prefer not to project beyond a bid. Anything can happen in 1 game. 20+ wins & bid sounds good.

One reason to be cautious is Fouss is out. Still think BYU beats Utes. But if they don't, pessimists will be unbearable.

BYU is deep and has consistent contributors...but, is there even 1 go-to player that can consistently create?

Preppy

11/30/23 1:16pm

Maybe just hit open 3s? But BYU is about to change their offense again. Watch Khalifa's magic from the high post.

Utah beat St. Mary's by 7. San Diego St. beat them by 25. I will concede that

After SDSU I was still tempering expectations. . . Now I am full on hype mode!

The thing about this team is that they pass the "eyeball" test. They look as

Ole Miss crushed NC STATE the other night. We need multiple bigs to seriously compete going forward

This team is entertaining. So much fun to watch. Who knows how good they can

I think we can do both: enjoy a fun team and hedge against lofty expectations

Thank you. Are people welcome to still think this team stinks? Sure, but please

I like this team, but our opponents so far are a combined 18-22 (including 6-1

Very poor interpretation of Data. SDSU has only beat poor teams since.

Blue2thebone

11/30/23 4:11pm

Did he mistakenly think SDSU played Oregon and made conclusions based on that?

YSMACK

11/30/23 4:35pm

Could be. But as pointed out they beat Cal who is terrible,

Blue2thebone

11/30/23 5:12pm

Do you consider Saint Mary’s and Washington

rowlinthunder

11/30/23 4:42pm

He originally talked about how they barely beat a bad Oregon team, IIRC.

YSMACK

11/30/23 4:54pm

Bad teams. Lost to Weber

We are a snake-bitten fanbase. Jumping on the bandwagon is the kiss of death!

Is there something that requires us to conclude what our team is immediately
