Things I've seen so far:

1. Our D sux. We have regressed from what we were under Ray defensively
2. Love what we are doing offensively. It will get nothing but better
3. Malik is not an automatic one and done
4. Q is better than Malik TODAY. That may not be the case a month from now- but I love this kid
5. Playing Endo is a waste. Why we don't play Houston as the back-up 4 and Zupp as the back-up 5 Is baffling
6. Southern was actually decent for a SWAC team
7. Chicken is struggling to find his niche not being the focal point on O
8. We have to work harder to get it to Ware
9. Better days ahead- this team has a lot of growth in it

People blow off Southern - but they have been in the dance 8 times. 2013 was the last time and almost took out #2 seed Gonzaga and they won the SWAC regular season last year.

Anyone have any idea on when Strugg or Holman will be able to play? We're gonna need the depth at the 4 and 5 down the stretch.

[CadaverDawg]

What's the scoop on Strugg? What are we expecting from him? Is he the same caliber as a Holman, Quindarry, etc just a diff position? Seems like a forgotten man. Overrated?

Said on here in the spring Q will be a better shooter than anyone we currently have on the team and he is. His game is smooth, if you had seen him play in high school you could tell it came easy to him. Malik is going to come around. He didn't even start last night which I'm sure was weird for him. You could tell the first time he got the ball he was trying to do too much when he tried to split 3 defenders and lost the ball. He's got elite quickness which once he learns how to use at this level is going to earn him a ton of trips to the line as well as assists.

Defense will get better.. The post define will be a struggle all year. We will have to play zone a good bit.
Offense will be very good once Malik shakes off the rust ..
Let CBH get his rotation down.. This will take a handful of games..
Houston , must be in dog house or something had 0 minutes last night
Southern isn't a push over SWAC team.. They got after it last night. Forced turnovers and we didn't help by turning it over ourselves.. They played Iowa St and Baylor both to within 10 last year. If they don't win the SWAC again I would be shocked.
And Malik is 100% one and done... omce he gets a few games under his belt and fits into his roles on this team he will show why....

Guys, RPI at this point in the year means less than nothing.

lulz. I really like Weatherspoon too, but lulz.

[mstatefan91]

lulz. I really like Weatherspoon too, but lulz.

For Coach's #4, based on what I've seen, he has a valid argument. I don't think it will stay that way, but as of TODAY, Q is a little farther ahead.

A lot of that has to do with the injury. Hope Malik stays healthy, gets some practice in, and starts to shine.
