I had my doubts there in the final minutes. It wasn't looking good. That was an ugly, ugly game and we clearly looked flustered and rusty at times. I think it was not only good preparation for tonight's game but also good for next week. We're going to get teams' best shot. Pepp wanted that game and ...

Ha!

I think Pope is here for a few more seasons. I get the feeling he wants to do something great at BYU, but I do see his staff getting raided.

Unless Barcello comes back we're going to struggle at PG again. Barcello and Avarette handle duties. There isn't that third guy getting a few minutes here and there. I don't see Harding running point his ball handling and passing just isn't there. Same with Johnson and Knell. So either Pope knows so...

If we can get a 6th seed that would be great. I don't see us getting higher than a 6 unless we beat Gonzaga in the WCC finals.

Unless the wheels completely come off, it looks like we are tourney bound. Even if we lose against SMC on Sat and lose the first game of the WCC tournament we'd still be a bubble team. But I don't see us losing on Sat and something tells me after a first round exist last year Pope is going to have t...

Harward is a beast. If we didn't have Haarms, we would be plenty happy with Harward at center. Kolby Lee has all but disappeared. Feel bad for the guy, but what a luxury we have right now. We have three solid centers. Harward, I suspect, will start next season. Between Baxter, Lee, and Harward, we'l...

Glad we get a few more games and glad we get to finish at home. Both those games are winnable.

Was fun watching the team roll again Pacific and LMU this week. We're looking good. As much as I feel for Lee having to sit, having George and Lonher start is much better rotation.

Looking for a non-conference game,

There has to be someone out there willing to play. Some Q2 team at least.

I suppose there is a chance Barcello and Averette stay another year. If there is a coach that could convince them it would be Pope. I can see Barcello playing in Europe. I am not sure about Averette. I give the likelihood of them staying another year about a 30% chance. Haarms is a better player tha...

This team seems jittery. I wonder how much that has to do with so many new players and little time to practice before the season started because of COVID. Timing seems off on plays. They seem to hesitate a bit. Chemistry isn't as crisp as we've seen with other teams. I also think we were really spoi...
