    Maybe they can lose by less than 30 again?

    Just realized this game starts at the same time the Women’s National championship game starts.
    Hmmmm
    Caitlyn Clark or Shaedon Sharpe?

    I understand these guys will probably never win a game, but aren't they fun to watch?

    Yes, now with Keon out and Archie being replaced by Mays, and Watford back. They are fun to watch.

    Nice to see the bench guys playing well and together. Watford is good to keep — Point-Power Forward (hyperbole, but is a 2nd level distributor). Eubanks as a 3rd string PF/C. Matisse is a good dude to keep for years.

    I almost feel like I am watching a video game; the ball and the players all move so much faster than our starters.

    Eubanks putting some wood on guys.
    Butler legit practicing his 3’s though he’s 2 years away from 200 pounds.

    What the hell is Eubanks doing. Sharpe passes him the ball, and never sees it again. All Eubanks had to do was set up a dribble hand-off to Sharpe.

    Why do these guys never pass to Sharpe?

    And Eubanks shoots way to much

    It’s a shame we didn’t get to see Watford and Sharpe play more with the starters like they did in the victory in Utah.

    Watford is becoming hard to stop in space. With the starters he doesn’t have to worry about dribbling through heavy traffic, which is where he can get into trouble.
