This team RIGHT NOW has it in them to hang & win in games that last year's team simply couldn't. It's just a lot less likely we'll see that team on a given night than we saw w last year's veteran group. At least at this early point in the season.
You saw what Keba did to us last year, for instance.
You really think we'd had handled Wyoming's perimeter scoring last season as well did last night — HAD we lost Richie like that in the opening minutes of the game?
What I SAW last night was a club that woulda had a tighter game with us last season likely, HAD Richie gone down early like that. We simply didn't have the depth, & Wyoming's Dr Dreds woulda had his way even more against those guys (sorry, but he's the kinda guard SJ could not have handled; it woulda been on Jax, & I'm not sure its a matchup Jax woulda won 50% of the time; that cat was quick w a heck of a release).
