Glad he will be back. That be didn’t make sense to me.

What do you think of the following player?

I like what I see.

Pope lost his assistant to a lateral move and two returning starters. All is not well with Pope.

My current impression of Pope is that he’s a great, optimistic raw-raw guy, but not an X’s and O’s guy. The revolving door of talent, stagnant offense,...

I am a believer in mixing things up. Throw in a zone, trap or press once in while. Distrupt their rhythm.

It worked on 'SF at the end. I like changing the defense once in a while. Throw a zone up once.

We could really use Lee the 6'9 240lb kid from Idaho as well as Conner Harding. How much better would we be with them?

I edited this.

Even if Lee had stayed the same he might be one of the top 3 big men on the team at this time.

looking forward to this one sunday. cant see them shooting over 50% from 3 again so got a feeling it will be a closer game. it has got to be a repeat or at least final four according to

If they are not at least a 4 seed it'll be a sham. Just to put it in perspective as to how dominant the women are, in conference play, their average margin of victory is 28.2. Gonzaga men in conference, 24.9.

Better to have it happen now and learn from it then have it in the tournament.

Thank you byufanforever. This is a very good analysis. I looked at the roster. There are 10 guards and 6 forwards with the injured Harward listed as a center. I don't think we need that many guards. 3 of them may not have seen the court yet. I agree...

Coach Pope decided to go with more size by starting Atiki and playing Traore. It was enough against Weber St. In theory Atiki should improve by leaps and bounds with more playing time.

It could be end of career.

Baxter is a big loss. Unfortunately he is injury prone. Barcello seems to be in a shooting slump.

Our entire team seems to be in a shooting slump. With how guard heavy we are that is not something that I was expecting.

Yeah, I don't know about Atiki. He came in and I thought he made a good play and then he was immediately subbed out. For all of the guards we have we really suck at shooting. Why did Erickson get so many minutes? Nobody even passes to him when he's...

He left on his own accord. He saw the writing on the wall--that his playing time would decrease. I did not see anything last night (3-12 shooting for example) to suggest we will really miss his play. I wish him the very best. He can be a help to his...

Some may hate me for saying this, but Jimmer was not very efficient. He was a ball hog who needed to shoot in volume in order to get into a shooting rhythm. He was very fun to watch and with that roster at that time having a ball hog who could score...

There is no question that the conference is better this year.

probably best to not trust internet rumors for now. However, that's too bad. I watched the scrimmage when his teammates had to essentially carry him to the locker room. Hope he's ok. He'd have made a difference on this team. The other bigs are...

Top 25 baby. I thought we would get there last week.

We should have taken Oregon's place and higher. According to ESPN the Cougars are the first unranked team to beat a top 15 team away from home by 30 plus points since 1993! The 32 point win is...
